Katy Perry Debuts 'Never Really Over' Music Video

Katy Perry released her music video for her new song “Never Really Over,” at midnight Friday, giving fans a first glimpse at the aesthetic of what many have speculated as a new album era for the pop hitmaker.

The American Idol judge’s new single “explores the nature of relationships,” according to a Capitol Music press release.
“All of our relationships — from first love, through failed love, to great love — all become a part of you,” Perry says in a statement, “so that none are ever really over, and once you accept both the dark and the light, you may find that the darkness brought you to the light.”

Perry previously teased the video on Wednesday, sharing a brief clip that saw her luxuriating in a sun-kissed field while dressed in a flowing gown and resting among a pile of men and women wearing 1970s-inspired clothing.

Perry’s latest release comes amid a crowded early-summer season for pop stars, as Cardi B and Miley Cyrus are also dropping new music, with the former prepping new single “Press,” while the latter will premiere a multi-track extended play titled She Is Coming this Friday.
