“I wrote the title track from the album when I was coming through one of the darkest periods of my life and had lost my smile. This whole album is my journey towards the light – with stories of resilience, hope, and love.” Perry wrote in an Instagram post on Thursday.
On May 15, the pop star dropped “Daisies”, the first track from her forthcoming fifth album, which is set to arrive on August 14 via Capitol. It is expected to contain 12 tracks,14 tracks on the Target store release.
“Daisies” is an empowering song about the strength of the human spirit. Perry reflected how she has gotten herself back off the ground after she was knocked down.
“They said I’m going nowhere, tried to count me out,” she sings. “Took those sticks and stones, showed ’em I could build a house, they tell me that I’m crazy, but I’ll never let them change me, ’til they cover me in daisies, daisies, daisies.”
The music video was filmed outdoors, which was directed and produced by director Liza Voloshin, from a safe social distance.
In 2017, she released her previous album “Witness”. She has been releasing singles ever since such as “Harleys in Hawaii,” “Small Talk,” “Never Really Over,” and “365.”
