Katy Perry Reflects on Split with Orlando Bloom in New Song
Katy Perry has subtly addressed the reasons behind her breakup with Orlando Bloom after nearly ten years together. The couple began dating in 2016, with a brief split in 2017 before reuniting and welcoming 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.” While Katy has since moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, she released a new single, "Bandaids," which reveals her feelings about the breakup.
Emotional Lyrics Spotlight Heartbreak
“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, Katy hints that she made efforts to save the relationship but it ultimately failed.
