Katy Perry reveals she struggled for months before releasing her vulnerable new single „Bandaids,“ which hints at her failed romance with Orlando Bloom.
Days after the release of her latest single, „Bandaids“ — a hit that hints at her failed romance with Orlando Bloom — Katy Perry said she „struggled“ with the idea of sharing such a vulnerable song.
On Sunday, Perry took to social media to thank her fans for their ongoing support and explained why she had a tough time ahead of the release of her new single.
„thank you for the love on bandaids… tbh I struggled for months with the idea of putting this song out… even after all these years it can be scary to be vulnerable… but hopefully the lyrics of this song resonate with someone going through what I have been through and maybe they won’t feel so alone and will find the strength to keep going like I have.“
The song, which was released Nov. 7, focuses on themes of emotional damage within a relationship and finding peace and healing after it’s broken.
„Hand to God I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned / It’s not what you did, it’s what you didn’t / You were there, but you weren’t“, she sings.
„Got so used to you letting me down / No use tryna send flowers now / Telling myself you’ll change, you don’t / Band-Aids over a broken heart“, she continues.
