Katy Perry<\/strong><\/a>\u2019s new single, \u201cBandaids,\u201d holds special meaning for the pop star.<\/p>\n

\u201cThank you for the love on \u2018Bandaids.\u2019 TBH, I struggled for months with the idea of putting this song out,\u201d Perry, 41, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Sunday, November 9. \u201cEven after all these years it can be scary to be vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n

She continued, \u201cHopefully, the lyrics of this song resonate with someone going through what I have been through and maybe they won\u2019t feel so alone and will find the strength to keep going like I have.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perry released \u201cBandaids\u201d<\/a> earlier this week.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t<\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n\t\t\tKaty Perry has seemingly broken her silence on her rumored romance with Justin Trudeau by way of a cheeky joke at a London concert. \u201cLondon, England, you\u2019re like this on a Monday night after a whole day at work and a whole day at school?\u201d Perry, 40, said during her Lifetimes World Tour concert at [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cHand to God, I promised, I tried \/ There\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 she sings. \u201cGot so used to you letting me down \/ No use trying to send flowers now \/ Telling myself you\u2019ll change, you don\u2019t \/ Band-Aids over a broken heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

While Perry hasn\u2019t expressly revealed her lyrical muse, \u201cBandaids\u201d is the singer\u2019s first new release since the singer and Orlando Bloom<\/strong> ended their engagement. Us Weekly <\/i>broke the news<\/a> in June that Perry and Bloom, 48, called off their nuptials after nearly a decade together.<\/p>\n

\u201cKaty and Orlando have split but are amicable,\u201d a source exclusively told Us<\/i> at the time. \u201cIt\u2019s not contentious at the moment. Katy is, of course, upset but is relieved to not have to go through another divorce, as that was the worst time in her life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perry, who was previously married to Russell Brand<\/strong> from 2010 to 2012, and Bloom are now focused on coparenting their 4-year-old daughter Daisy Dove. (Bloom is also the father of son Flynn, 14, from a previous relationship.)<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tNearly two months after their head-turning dinner date, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau are still quietly seeing each other, multiple sources exclusively tell Us Weekly. \u201cThey\u2019ve decided to be much more private about it,\u201d one source says. \u201cThey are still speaking and are very interested in each other.\u201d A second insider notes that Perry and [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\u201cThey are still very much in touch and coparenting Daisy together,\u201d a second insider told Us<\/i> <\/a>at the time. \u201cOrlando brought Daisy to meet Katy on tour before heading to the Bezos\u2019 wedding. It\u2019s not messy between them. They aren\u2019t making drastic changes for Daisy\u2019s sake.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bloom attended Jeff Bezos<\/strong> and Lauren S\u00e1nchez<\/strong>\u2019s luxurious wedding in Venice, Italy, this summer while Perry completed the international leg of her Lifetimes Tour.<\/i><\/p>\n

In the months since the split, Perry has moved on with former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tKaty Perry and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau are proving there are clearly some fireworks between them. In photos obtained by the Daily Mail on Saturday, October 11, Perry, 40, could be seen kissing and cuddling Trudeau, 53, on board her Caravelle yacht off the coast of Santa Barbara, California.

\u201cKaty is really into it. She\u2019s very happy,\u201d a third source told <\/a>Us<\/a> <\/i>last month. \u201cShe\u2019s trying to keep it low-key, and they\u2019ve spent a lot of private time together. She\u2019s not looking to publicize this relationship. Their friends think they are a good match, but he actually hasn\u2019t met a lot of her friends yet.\u201d<\/p>\n
