        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Katy Perry is back in bloom — and baring it all.</p><p>After a couple of so-so (for her) singles in <strong>“Never Really Over”</strong> and <strong>&#8220;Small Talk”</strong>) since her last album, 2017’s “Witness,” <strong>the “Firework” singer</strong> turns up the heat with her new single “Daisies” and its body-baring video.</p><p>Yup, Katy <strong>goes full-on Demi Moore</strong> in the “Daisies” video released Friday, going au naturel in the most natural of settings.</p><p>Shot by director Liza Voloshin during quarantine — from a proper social distance — the naturalistic clip showcases a pregnant Perry letting her growing baby bump and everything else all out.</p><p>The pop diva, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Orlando Bloom this summer, definitely didn’t need the full glam squad for this back-to-basics clip, which shows her retreating from the heavy production of videos such as “E.T.” and “Roar.”</p><p>This <strong>irreverent mama-to-be</strong> wants to be Mother Nature now.</p><p>But aside from the video, “Daisies” is Perry’s best song since her 2013 album “Prism.&#8221; (Although I’ll always have a soft spot for 2017’s “Swish Swish.”)</p><figure id="attachment_15667201"  class="wp-caption aligncenter"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/katy-perry-2.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/05/katy-perry-2.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/05/katy-perry-2.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Katy Perry strikes a pose in her new &#8220;Daisies&#8221; clip.</span><span class="credit">Capitol Records</span></figcaption></figure><p>This is the comeback song that Perry has been waiting for since she took the job as an “American Idol” judge beginning in 2018, effectively signaling that she was a has-been.</p><p>But, at still just 35, Perry always had plenty of time for a comeback, and it starts here, with a return to the kind of empowering pop that made “Firework” and “Roar” such big hits.</p><p>“Told them your dreams and they all started laughing/I guess you’re out of your mind till it actually happens,” Perry sings at the beginning of “Daisies,” giving you a sense of the hopeful defiance to come in the first single from her upcoming album, “KP5,” due Aug. 14.</p><p>In the uplifting chorus, she sings, “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/Till they cover me in daisies.”</p><p>A bit cheesy, yes, but damn if this isn’t just the kind of can-do spirit — with atmospheric production by The Monsterz &amp; Strangerz (Halsey, Maroon 5) —that we need right now. Bring on Cheesy Katy.</p><p>Perry will perform “Daisies” for the first time, along with other songs, during <strong>a live Q&amp;A</strong> at Amazon Music at 1 p.m. Then she’ll sing her new single again during the “American Idol” season finale on Sunday.</p><p>Sounds like Perry has a lot more in store for this summer than a little bundle of joy.</p>]]></content:encoded>
