Katy Perry has shed light on the reasons behind her breakup with Orlando Bloom, ending nearly a decade together. The couple began dating in 2016, with the actor and pop star briefly parting ways in 2017 before reuniting.
After moving on with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Katy released the single Bandaids on Friday. The song explores themes of heartbreak and emotional struggle, seemingly reflecting on her past with Bloom.
“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, Perry suggests efforts were made to save the relationship but ultimately failed.
Katy Perry’s new single hints at emotional wounds and the challenges she faced in salvaging her relationship with Orlando Bloom, highlighting the pain behind their split.
