Katy Perry is back. This Thursday she’s dropping her new single “Bandaids”, marking yet another era in her pop journey.
Fans speculate that “Bandaids” may reflect more emotional ground, possibly touching on healing or transition, given its title and the tone of the cover art. Especially following her recent split from Orlando Bloom.
Perry and Bloom confirmed their relationship had shifted to a co-parenting focus as of July 2025 after nearly a decade together. A People Magazine source revealed it was “a long time coming” and that career pressures and communication gaps contributed to their parting.
The Thursday drop gives both longtime fans and new listeners a moment to reset expectations and instead embrace Perry’s storytelling. Keep an eye out this Thursday when “Bandaids” hits streaming services.
