Katy Perry’s New Song Hints at Orlando Bloom Breakup

Katy Perry is busy romancing her new boyfriend, Justin Trudeau, but she apparently isn’t done talking about her ex-fiancé, Orlando Bloom.

The 41-year-old pop star released a new single and music video, “bandaids” on Nov. 6, and the lyrics seem to point to the end of her relationship with the 48-year-old actor.

“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.”

She continues, “Got so used to you letting me down / No use tryna send flowers now. Telling myself you’ll change, you don’t / Bandaids over a broken heart.”

The lyrics, written by Perry, show a relationship in a stage of neglect when she wanted more. The second verse dives deeper into her desire to mend what wasn’t working, and accuses her partner — allegedly Bloom — for not trying.

“Tried all the medications / Lowered my expectations. Made every justification / Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow,” she sings. “It’s not that complicated / To ask me how my day is,” the lyrics read. “I’m flatlining trying to save this.”

While Perry was clearly sad about the end of their life together, there was one aspect to their romance she will never regret: their five-year-old daughter, Daisy.

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

Bloom and Perry confirmed their split, via their representative, on July 3, but they had actually gone their separate ways earlier in the year.

“Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on coparenting,” the joint statement read, per Us Weekly. “They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is — and always will be — raising their daughter with love, stability, and mutual respect.”

Even though the “Firework” singer might still have some residual feelings left over from her Bloom relationship, she’s “fairly serious” with Trudeau, according to a People insider.

“This relationship is already fairly serious and definitely moving in that direction,” the source said. “They are very much a couple and have been seeing each other as often as possible.”

Perry is moving on, but as an artist, she’s working her way through her emotions via music. It’s one of the hazards of dating a songwriter — just ask Bloom.
