Following the release of her comeback single “Woman’s World,” Katy Perry is back with yet another bop, “Lifetimes.” Released on Aug. 8, the song serves as the second cut from her upcoming sixth studio album, 143, which drops on Sept. 20, and looks set to become the hit of the summer.

Perry released her latest track with an accompanying music video directed by Stillz, in which she frolics on the beaches of Ibiza, takes a dip in the Mediterranean Sea, and dances the night away on the Spanish party island.

The former American Idol judge had teased the song in the weeks leading up to its release, sharing some of the inspirations behind it. So, what does “Lifetimes” actually mean?

“Lifetimes” Meaning

The singer previously explained in a statement that “Lifetimes” is all about “finding that one deep and satisfying love of your life,” whether that be a romantic partner, a best friend, a child, or a pet.

For Perry, the love of her life is her and Orland Bloom’s 3-year-old daughter, Daisy Dove Bloom. “I wrote ‘Lifetimes’ about her,” she recently told The Sun. “Every night before we go to sleep I say, ‘I love you,’ and then I ask, ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ and she says, ‘Yes.’”
