Overview
- Katy Perry dropped the single and music video for Bandaids on Nov. 6, directed by Christian Breslauer, featuring a ring slipping into a sink, a garbage-disposal injury, and a run of near-miss mishaps.
- The lyrics outline efforts to salvage a failing relationship and repeated disappointment, with lines such as “Hand to God I promise I tried” and “Got so used to you letting me down.”
- A daisy appears as an intentional nod to Perry and Bloom’s daughter, Daisy Dove, as Perry acknowledges good memories and says she would “do it all over again.”
- The release follows the pair’s separation confirmed earlier this year, with representatives saying they had shifted their relationship to focus on co-parenting.
- Bandaids is Perry’s first new music since her 2024 album 143, arriving during her Lifetimes Tour, as outlets also note reports linking her romantically to Justin Trudeau and her onstage comment that she is dating someone else.
