Why did Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom break up? Her new song 'Bandaids' may offer hints
Katy Perry is seemingly giving fans a glimpse into her breakup with Orlando Bloom.
Following her split with the "Pirates of the Caribbean" actor, Perry has released "Bandaids," a track about a failed relationship that many fans understandably presumed was about Bloom, given their nearly decade-long romance.
Perry opens the anthemic track singing: "Hand to God, I promised, 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."
In the song, Perry accuses her former lover of not stepping up to the plate in their relationship. She sings that she "tried all the medications" and "lowered my expectations" to no avail.
"Got so used to you letting me down / No use trying to send flowers now," she sings. "Telling myself you'll change, you don't / Bandaids over a broken heart."
Say what you want about Katy Perry, her Lifetimes tour is great
The "Firework" singer and Bloom had been together for nine years before they mutually announced their split. They got engaged six years prior.
Perry sings that things weren't all bad. "On the bright side, we had good times / Nеver faked our pictures / Wе were perfect 'til we weren't."
And despite all the disappointment, she sings, "the love that we made was worth it in the end." The former couple share 5-year-old daughter Daisy Dove, whom the pair has said is now their focus as coparents.

Representatives for Perry, 41, and Bloom, 48, confirmed that the couple were no longer together in July.
"Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry's relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting," the reps said in a statement to USA TODAY. "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."
Perry has since moved on to a budding romance with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Katy Perry 'Bandaids' lyrics
Hand to God, I promised, 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
Tried all the medications
Lowered my expectations
Made every justification
Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow
Band-Aids over a broken heart
On the bright side, we had good times
Nеver faked our pictures
Wе were perfect 'til we weren't
Now we've got too many splinters
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 heartTried all the medications
Lowered my expectations
Made every justification
Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow
Band-Aids over a broken heart
It's not that complicated (Uh-huh)
To ask me how my day is
I'm flatlining trying to save this
Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow
Band-Aids over a broken heart
If I had to do it all over again
I would still do it all over again
The love that we made was worth it in the end
Oh yeah, oh yeah
If I had to do it all over again
I would still do it all over again
The love that we made was worth it in the end
Oh yeah
Tried all the medications (All the medications)
Lowered my expectations (Oh-oh)
Made every justification (Oh)
Bleeding out, bleeding out, bleeding out slow
Band-Aids over a broken heart
