Katy Perry<\/a> has long made being a charming klutz part of her brand. The singer leans all the way into that part of her personality in the brand new preview of her upcoming single, \u201cBandaids.\u201d After teasing what fans assume is her next single on Tuesday (Nov. 4) with a picture of her somber face all cut up and bruised, Perry offered up a brief video preview of the song that is due out at 7 p.m. ET on Thursday (Nov. 6).<\/p>\n

Spoiler: things get way, way worse.<\/p>\n

More from Billboard<\/p>\n

Though it does not contain any actual music, the eight-second sneak peek<\/a> at what appears to be the visual for the track finds Perry perishing in all the worst ways. It opens with the 41-year-old pop star sticking her hand into a garbage disposal, which she seems shocked to learn will set off a blood geyser as her unseen fingers are chewed up, blasting the white sink with gore.<\/p>\n

For her next trick, Perry sits on the wrong end of a giant tree branch and saws away at it until the bit she\u2019s resting on comes crashing down, followed by KP suffering a major face plant as she trips at the top of an escalator at a mall, leading to her getting seriously electrocuted while walking through a puddle at a gas station.<\/p>\n

And sorry Katy Kats, but it does not get better. While enjoying a coffee at the Crumb Caf\u00e9, Perry is blasted with shards of glass from an unseen explosion, then forced to dodge gigantic tree trunks falling off an 18-wheeler on the highway and, finally, covered in dirt, bruises, scratch and bandages, Katy is blown to bits after lighting a cigarette, resulting in a massive, fiery blast.<\/p>\n

What does it all mean? You\u2019ll have to wait one more day to find out.<\/p>\n

At press time, a spokesperson for Perry had not returned Billboard\u2018s request for additional information on whether the song is a one-off single or attached to a new album. Perry released her uptempo seventh studio album,\u00a0143, last September, which debuted at No. 6 on the\u00a0Billboard\u00a0200 album chart. The LP, written and produced by controversial producer Dr. Luke, as well as pop savants Max Martin and Stargate, was fronted by the single \u201cWoman\u2019s World \u2014\u00a0which peaked at No. 63 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart \u2014\u00a0followed by the songs \u201cLifetimes\u201d and \u201cI\u2019m His, He\u2019s Mine\u201d featuring Doechii.<\/p>\n
