Bandaids (song)
Updated: 12/20/2025, 2:48:11 PM Wikipedia source
"Bandaids" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by the American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. It was released through Capitol Records on November 6, 2025, along with an accompanying music video, which she co-directed with Christian Breslauer. Perry and Kiddo Ibañez co-wrote the track with its producers Justin Tranter, Sean Cook, Russ Chell, and Eren Cannata. "Bandaids" is a pop rock ballad, which lyrically explores heartbreak and reflects on the loss of a relationship. On the primary charts for songs, "Bandaids" has reached number 20 in Venezuela, number 25 in the Czech Republic, number 61 in the United Kingdom, number 74 in Canada, and number 99 in Ireland, while appearing on component charts in Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, South Korea, and the United States. The track's accompanying music video depicts Perry going through a series of accidents that show her struggling after a breakup, inspired by the American horror franchise Final Destination. She first performed the song live on her 2025 concert tour, The Lifetimes Tour, at a show in Lyon, France, one day after its release.
