For nearly nine years, Orlando Bloom served as the muse behind many of Katy Perry’s songs. However, after their recent separation, a list of singles written for him has surfaced online—songs that KatyCat fans may never hear her sing in the same light again.
Since 2017, Katy Perry has poured her heart into music inspired by Bloom, starting with the song “Into Me You See Me” from her album Witness. The track reveals her emotional walls coming down as Bloom helped her rediscover her ability to trust. In her words, “someone came and started ‘digging for treasure beneath,’ and found a better version of me I’d never seen.” Bloom was the person who made her believe in love again.

A year later, Perry dropped “Never Really Over” in 2020, addressing her 2016 breakup with Bloom. The song dives into the complexities of moving on from a relationship, with Katy admitting:
“But every once in a while, I stumble and cross the line, and I think about you. Two years and counting, my mind still takes me back.”
“Never Worn White” from 2020 revealed more than just a song—Katy used it to announce her pregnancy while also revealing her longing to marry Orlando in a white dress, something she didn’t do with Russell Brand. “Because I’ve never worn white, but I want to do it right. See you in 60 years with a full family tree (Yes, I do),” she sang, reflecting her dreams for the future with Bloom.
Later that year, “Champagne Problems” painted a picture of the couple’s challenges and triumphs, celebrating their victory together despite the struggles they faced.
