Overview
- Perry dropped “Bandaids” and its official music video on Nov. 6, her first new release since the 2024 album 143.
- The Christian Breslauer–directed video stages a series of darkly comic near-miss scenes after a ring slips down a sink drain.
- The lyrics detail disappointment and attempts to save a relationship, including lines about being “let down” and “bandaids over a broken heart.”
- A daisy appears as a visual nod to Perry and Bloom’s daughter, as coverage links the song’s themes to their breakup and earlier co‑parenting statement.
- The release arrives during the European leg of her Lifetimes Tour, which is slated to conclude Dec. 7 in Abu Dhabi, with outlets also reporting she has been spending time with Justin Trudeau.
