Katy Perry has hinted at the reasons behind her split from Orlando Bloom after nearly ten years together. The couple began dating in 2016 and, despite a brief breakup in 2017, they reunited and welcomed their daughter Daisy Dove in 2020.
They became engaged in 2019, but rumors of a quiet separation surfaced earlier this year. In July, their representatives confirmed they had been "shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting."
Since then, Katy Perry has reportedly moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. She recently released a new single titled Bandaids, which appears to delve into the emotional aftermath of her breakup.
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, Perry suggests she made efforts to salvage the relationship, underscoring the pain and frustration she experienced.
Katy Perry’s new song reveals a poignant and honest reflection on her past relationship with Orlando Bloom, highlighting effort, disappointment, and emotional healing.
