Katy Perry Takes a 'Brutal' Swipe at Ex-Fiancé Orlando Bloom in New Song

Katy Perry has subtly disclosed reasons behind her breakup with Orlando Bloom after nearly ten years together. The actor, known for The Lord of the Rings, started dating the pop icon in 2016. Despite a brief split in 2017, they reconciled and welcomed their daughter, Daisy Dove, in 2020.

Rumors of their quiet separation emerged earlier this year. The couple, engaged since 2019, confirmed in July that they had been "shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting."

Since their split, Katy has moved on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Now, she has released a new single titled Bandaids, which appears to allude to the breakup.

Lyrics Reflect Heartbreak and Disappointment

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 at her efforts to salvage their relationship despite the pain.
