After weeks of building anticipation with club nights and sun-soaked shots from the beaches of Ibiza, Katy Perry has finally dropped her new single, “LIFETIMES.” A glimmering ode to love and life, it’s a song that urges listeners to lose themselves in the moment and embrace the carefree spirit that only summer can bring.

While “LIFETIMES” is a dance-floor anthem begging to be blasted at max volume, beneath the shimmering production and high-energy exterior lies a tender message, inspired by Perry’s relationship with her daughter. The lyrics, sweet and introspective, explore the idea of eternal love that transcends lifetimes, whether it’s a soulmate, a best friend, or, in Perry’s case, her child. The song’s emotional core is deeply relatable, offering a heartwarming counterbalance to its dance core.

The new single also arrives with a music video directed by Stillz that captures the vibrant spirit of Ibiza, aligning perfectly with the song’s themes of joy and eternal love. It premiered on MTV Live, MTVU, and MTV Biggest Pop, as well as on the Paramount Times Square billboards. “LIFETIMES” is the second single off Perry’s upcoming album, 143, set to release on September 20th via Capitol Records.

With this release, Katy Perry once again proves she can blend fun and depth in a way that resonates, whether that’s in the club or stripped back as an acoustic performance. “LIFETIMES” is more than just a catchy pop track; it’s a reminder of what truly matters as the summer fades.
