Katy Perry Hints at Reason for Orlando Bloom Split in Song “Bandaids"
Katy Perry is roaring forth with a new era of music.
Indeed, the “Teenage Dream” singer released her first new song since news surfaced over the summer that she and Orlando Bloom had broken up and ended their engagement, and the track is one of her most vulnerable to date.
In the music video for her new song “Bandaids” released Nov. 6, Katy begins by washing dishes and drops what appears to be an engagement ring down the sink. As she sticks her hand down to try and retrieve it, she alludes to her breakup, singing, “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.”
And Katy’s honesty didn’t end with the song’s opening lyrics, as she went on to hint at the reason for her split.
“Got so used to you letting me down / No use tryna send flowers now,” she continued. “Telling myself you'll change, you don't / Band-Aids over a broken heart.”
As she sings, Katy undergoes multiple painful experiences in the video, including her hand getting injured by the sink’s garbage disposal and falling out of a tree. But, as she notes in her lyrics, pain wasn’t the only feeling she had during the relationship referenced in the song.
“On the bright side, we had good times / Never faked our pictures,” she sings. “We were perfect 'til we weren't / Now we've got too many splinters.”
As the track continues, she shared other shortcomings that led to the song's breakup, adding, “It's not that complicated / To ask me how my day is / I'm flatlining trying to save this / Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow.”
Despite the worst parts of the relationship, though, Katy—who shares daughter Daisy Dove, 5, with Orlando—sings she has no regrets.

“If I had to do it all over again / I would still do it all over again,” she sings in the video. And as a train is about to crash into her, she looks over and sees a daisy, giving her the strength to dodge the freight. She adds, “The love that we made was worth it in the end.”
Earlier in the week, Katy announced the surprise single with a closeup picture of herself staring at the camera with scratches across her face and wearing a white T-shirt and necklace with her full name Katheryn.

Before “Bandaids,” Katy had not released new music since her September 2024 album 143, which is shorthand for the phrase “I love you.” On the first anniversary of the album, the “I Kissed A Girl” singer reflected on “the incredible impact this last year has had” on her, as well as her mindset behind making new music.
“Records are snapshots of an artist trying to tell their story of where they are now or have been,” she wrote on Instagram Sept. 22 alongside another angle of her “Bandaids” cover photo, “and hope someone will hear themselves in some of the messages.”
The “Firework” singer also referenced the “rollercoaster” she has been through over the years.
“History is important, we learn from history, we are reminded of how to and what not to do when we look back,” Katy continued. “We celebrate the wins and reflect on the losses. All of it is valuable.”
To her fans, she added, “Let’s hope we get to evolve together for years to come and at the end of it all be proud and at peace with how we tried our best in this imperfect world.”
