Katy Perry Teams Up With Alesso On New Single ‘When I’m Gone’

Katy Perry recently dropped a new single “When I’m Gone,” marking her first collaboration with Alesso.

“When I’m gone, I’m never really gone/ You think you’re moving on/ But it won’t be for long, you’ll see/ When I’m gone, I’m never really gone/ You think you’re moving on/ But no one’s gonna feel like, feel like,” Perry sings in the chorus.

“ESPN and especially College GameDay hold a special place in my heart, so partnering with Alesso to become the first artists to ever debut a global music video within a live event on ESPN made for a perfect and natural pairing,” Perry said in a statement

“I’m so thrilled that ‘When I’m Gone’ is finally out. We’ve been waiting the whole year to share it with all of you,” Alesso added. “I’m honored to collaborate with Katy on such an amazing dance record and with ESPN to become the first artists to premiere our music video at halftime of the College Football Playoff National Championship. I loved working with her and think this song and video came out super special.”

10:22PM/Astralwerks/Capitol Records released “When I’m Gone” on Wednesday.

Its music video will be premiered on ESPN at the 2022 NCAA national championship football game’s halftime on January 10.

“When I’m Gone” is included in the 19-track set list that the multi-platinum-selling pop superstar is playing for her Las Vegas residency shows.
