Katy Perry Takes "Brutal" Swipe at Ex-Fiancé Orlando Bloom in New Song

Katy Perry has hinted at the reasons behind her breakup with Orlando Bloom after nearly ten years together. The couple began dating in 2016, briefly split in 2017, then reunited and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020.

Despite their engagement in 2019, rumors of their split surfaced earlier this year. In July, their representatives confirmed they had been "shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting."

While Katy has since moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, she released a new song that alludes to the breakup causes.

New Single "Bandaids" Reflects Heartbreak

Released on Friday, "Bandaids" details emotional pain and the loss of a relationship, revealing feelings of disappointment and emotional distance.

“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.
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.”

In the second verse, Katy hints at her efforts to save the relationship before it ended.

Summary

Katy Perry’s new song reveals the emotional struggle behind her split from Orlando Bloom, focusing on unmet expectations and heartbreak despite efforts to fix the relationship.
