Katy Perry readies 'Bandaids' for release

Katy Perry is officially launching her comeback era, giving fans a first look at the music video for her new single 'Bandaids', set to drop on November 6. The pop star shared a cinematic teaser on Instagram on Wednesday, building excitement a day before the track's release.

In the short clip, Perry appears in a visually striking setup that hints at both vulnerability and resilience — themes fans believe reflect the emotional tone of the new single. The singer captioned her post: "Bandaids, November 6."

Known for her creative visuals and playful storytelling, she brings her trademark tongue-in-cheek style to the teaser, which has already sparked major buzz online. The 41-year-old shared the clip shortly after unveiling the single's cover art and release date.

The teaser arrives just days before the grand finale of her ongoing Lifetimes Tour, where Perry has been performing high-energy shows featuring new visuals that signal a creative rebirth. While she has not revealed the inspiration behind the track, the title and lyrics suggest a deeply personal narrative.

According to media reports, the 'Dark Horse' hit-maker's new song may touch on her recent breakup with actor Orlando Bloom, though Perry has not commented on the speculation. During her concert in Paris this week, she previewed part of the song, singing: "Let me down / Know it's just a fairytale / Save myself just to go back to the broken / Don't let me down / Go, just send flowers now."

'Bandaids' marks the next chapter in what fans are calling Katy Perry's major comeback campaign, following her 2024 album 143. As the countdown to the release continues, the 'California Gurls' star seems ready to heal more than just hearts — she's poised to reclaim her place at the top of pop music.
