A verse from the upbeat pop tune reads: “Acting like we never met / Faking like we’d just forget / We were lovers / And now there’s nothing left but small talk / Had every inch of your skin / There’s nowhere your hands haven’t been.”

Following the conclusion of Witness: The Tour, Perry said she had no plans to return to the studio for another album.

“I’ve been on the road for like 10 years so I’m just going to chill,” she told Footwear News. “I feel like I’ve done a lot. I feel like I’ve rung the bell of being a pop star very loudly and I’m very grateful for that.”
