Katy Perry’s New Song ‘Bandaids’ Drops a Hint About the Real Reason Behind Her Split with Orlando Bloom.qn

Katy Perry sings about trying to save a dying relationship in her revealing new song, “Bandaids.”

The 41-year-old singer — who split from Orlando Bloom, 48, in June after nearly a decade together — dropped her new song and its music video on Thursday. The lyrics and video appear to give a glimpse into the end of her relationship with Bloom.

“Hand to God, I promise I tried / There’s no stone left unturned,” she sings. “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,” she also sings. “Telling myself you’ll change, you don’t / Band-Aids over a broken heart.”

In the song’s second verse, the lyrics hint at the steps she took to try to fix the relationship.

“Tried all the medications / Lowered my expectations,” the lyrics read. “Made every justification / Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow.”

She also sings about her partner not putting in any effort.

“It’s not that complicated / To ask me how my day is,” the lyrics read. “I’m flatlining trying to save this.”

Still, by the end of the song, Perry sings about not having regrets despite the relationship ending, and notes they “had good times.”

“If I had to do it all over again / I would still do it all over again,” she sings. “The love that we made was worth it in the end.”

While Perry doesn’t specifically name who she’s singing about, the music video has more obvious references to her and Bloom’s relationship. As she sings about the relationship being “worth it at the end,” she sees a daisy — a nod to her and Bloom’s 5-year-old daughter, Daisy.

At the beginning of the video, she also drops a ring in the drain and tries to fish it out with her hand while washing dishes. Perry made headlines in September 2024 when she shared that she rewarded Bloom with oral sex when he did chores around the house, specifically noting he did the dishes over the weekend when their housekeeper wasn’t there.

“So it’s like, if I come downstairs and the kitchen is clean, and you’ve done it all, and you’ve done all the dishes, and you’ve closed all the pantry doors, you better be ready to get your d–k sucked,” she candidly shared during her appearance on “Call Me Daddy.”

“I mean, literally. That is my love language,” she continued. “I don’t need a red Ferrari! I can buy a red Ferrari. Just do the f–king dishes! I will suck your d–k! It’s that easy.”

But in the music video, Perry’s hand turns into a bloody mess after she accidentally turns on the garbage disposal with her hand in the drain, another signal to the demise of the relationship.

Reps for Perry and Bloom didn’t immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.
