Katy Perry<\/a> has released a new single, \u2018Bandaids\u2019 \u2013 check out its grisly Final Destination<\/a>-inspired music video below.<\/p>\n

Released today (November 7), the track marks her first since the critically-panned 2024 album \u2018143<\/a>\u2018. \u2018Bandaids\u2019, released with little to no prior teases, comes in the middle of the singer\u2019s world tour.<\/p>\n

The track\u2019s accompanying music video sees Perry in various settings that draw inspiration from the Final Destination franchise, albeit with her own twists. These include getting her hand ripped to shreds by a garbage disposal system, getting her shoelaces caught in an escalator, being struck by a stray log while driving and more.<\/p>\n

Watch the grisly music video for \u2018Bandaids\u2019 below.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\u2018Bandaids\u2019 sees Perry sing about having tried her best in a failed relationship \u2013 most likely inspired her recent split from longtime beau Orlando Bloom in July<\/a>. Over the course of the track, she makes her case, singing about how she did the best she could to keep the relationship alive.<\/p>\n

She sings in the opening verse: \u201cHand to God, I promised, I tried \/ There\u2019s no stone left unturned \/ It\u2019s not what you did, it\u2019s what you didn\u2019t \/ You were there, but you weren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsewhere during the track, she looks back on the relationship with a softer lens: \u201cOn the bright side, we had good times \/ N\u0435ver faked our pictures \/ W\u0435 were perfect \u2019til we weren\u2019t\u2026 If I had to do it all over again \/ I would still do it all over again \/ The love that we made was worth it in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n

The two of them have been romantically involved since 2016, and first split back in 2017, before getting back together shortly afterwards. They got engaged in February 2019, and now share a four-year-old daughter together called Daisy.<\/p>\n

A joint statement was shared with US media outlets, with representatives for both Perry and Bloom saying that the two have \u201cbeen shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting\u201d (via\u00a0BBC<\/a>). It added that \u201cthey will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is \u2013 and always will be \u2013 raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Two years before their split, Perry and Bloom found themselves embroiled in a legal battle with an elderly veteran<\/a> over the California home they made an offer on in 2020.<\/p>\n

2024 and 2025 have been relatively tough years for the \u2018Teenage Dreams\u2019 singer, who garnered criticism for working with disgraced producer Dr Luke for her comeback album \u2018143\u2019 and its lead single \u2018Woman\u2019s World\u2019<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The album itself wasn\u2019t well received by critics, with NME scoring it two out of five stars<\/a>: \u201cPop fans have a fondness for resurrecting \u201cflop\u201d albums that were given short shrift when they first came out:\u00a0Mariah Carey\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0ill-fated soundtrack album \u2018Glitter\u2019 and\u00a0Christina Aguilera\u2019s<\/a> sonic hodgepodge \u2018Bionic\u2019 have both become cult classics of sorts. But even this fate seems unlikely for \u2018143\u2019, a serviceable but slightly dull collection on which Perry struggles to relocate her old sense of fun.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April, she once again sparked controversy when she travelled to space to reveal the \u2018Lifetimes\u2019 tour setlist<\/a>. Social media\u00a0branded the flight as \u201cwealth tourism\u201d<\/a>, and the trip garnered some criticism from the likes of Emily Ratajkowski, who\u00a0said she was \u201cdisgusted\u201d by the flight<\/a>, along with\u00a0food chain Wendy\u2019s.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Katy Perry has released a new single, \u2018Bandaids\u2019 \u2013 check out its grisly Final Destination-inspired music video below.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":267668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[49,48,75,341,2742],"class_list":{"0":"post-267667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-entertainment","11":"tag-music","12":"tag-pop"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=267667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/267667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/267668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=267667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=267667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=267667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
