Katy Perry<\/strong><\/a> is getting candid in her latest release, opening up about the fear and vulnerability behind it. The 41-year-old pop icon shared that her new single, \u201cBandaids,\u201d came from a place of deep emotional turmoil, a track fans believe draws inspiration from her breakup and past relationship with ex-fianc\u00e9 Orlando Bloom<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n In an emotional Instagram<\/a> post shared on November 9, Perry admitted that releasing the song wasn\u2019t an easy decision. \u201cI struggled for months with the idea of putting this song out,\u201d she wrote. \u201cEven after all these years, it can be scary to be vulnerable\u2026 but hopefully the lyrics of this song resonate with someone going through what I have been through. Maybe they won\u2019t feel so alone and will find the strength to keep going like I have.\u201d<\/p>\n Released on November 6, \u201cBandaids\u201d explores the pain and acceptance that come with the end of a relationship, one Perry says she tried desperately to hold together. \u201cHand to God, I promise I tried,\u201d she sings. \u201cThere\u2019s no stone left unturned \/ It\u2019s not what you did, it\u2019s what you didn\u2019t \/ You were there but you weren\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n In the music video for the single, Perry drops a ring down a garbage disposal and injures her hand while trying to retrieve it, later appearing in a series of clips where she continues to hurt herself in various ways. Despite the pain reflected in her lyrics, the \u201cRoar\u201d singer expressed no regret over her nine-year relationship, particularly because it led to the birth of their daughter. \u201cIf I had to do it all over again \/ I would still do it all over again,\u201d she later sings in the song, with the accompanying video clip showing a daisy in the frame. \u201cThe love that we made was worth it in the end.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Khushali Srivastava on Reality Tea<\/a><\/p>\n The post Katy Perry Talks Fear of Being \u2018Vulnerable\u2019 Amid Song Release<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nKaty Perry reveals why she \u2018struggled\u2019 to put new song \u2018Bandaids\u2019 out in emotional post<\/h2>\n
