- Katy Perry released a new single, "Daisies," with an accompanying music video.
- In the visuals, the pop star sports an ethereal white dress in a field, cradling her baby bump.
- The singer announced her pregnancy in March, also via music video.
With her new release, "Daisies," Katy Perry seems to have planted another hit. The pop star released the uplifting new track last night, along with an artsy new video flush with natural landscapes. In the visuals, Perry rocks a breezy white dress and sweater while singing in a field of flowers or on a mountaintop at dusk, cradling her baby bump from time to time. In one standout scene, she strips down and goes completely au naturel in a creek.
Perry, who's engaged to Orlando Bloom, first announced her pregnancy in March via her "Never Worn White" music video, in which she also debuted her baby bump. "Omg so glad I don't have to suck it in anymore," she tweeted after the reveal, "or carry a big purse." This marks Perry's first child and Bloom's second; he shares nine-year-old son Flynn Bloom with ex Miranda Kerr.
Read the full lyrics to "Daisies" below.
Told them your dreams,
and they all started laughing
I guess you’re out of your mind til it actually happens
I’m the small town
One in seven billion
Why can’t it be me
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ‘em
I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never
let ‘em
change me
Til they cover me in daisies,
daisies,
daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ‘em
I could build a house
They tell me that
I’m crazy
But
I’ll never let ‘em
change me
Til they
cover me in daisies,
daisies,
daisies
When did we all stop believing in magic
Why did we put
all our hopes in a box in the attic
I’m the long shot
I’m the Hail Mary
Why can’t it be me
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ‘em
I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ‘em
change me
Til they cover me
in daisies,
daisies,
daisies
They said I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ‘em
I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But
I’ll never let ‘em change me
Til they cover me in daisies,
daisies,
daisies
I’m the
small town
One in seven billion
Why can’t
it be me
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ‘em
I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ‘em
change me
Til they cover me in daisies,
daisies,
daisies
They said
I’m going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed ‘em
I could build a house
They tell me that I’m crazy
But I’ll never let ‘em
change me
Til they cover me in daisies,
daisies,
daisies
