The video clip of Bandaids opens with a wedding ring falling into the sink. It is the beginning of a series of misadventures that lead the protagonist to deal with one dysfunctional relationship. The rhythm is pounding, at times mechanical, like the heart stranded in an agonizing love. “I put Band-Aids on a broken heart,” Perry sings. In the end, the inevitable epiphany that, despite everything, “the love experienced was worth it”.

Behind the pop sounds of Bandaids there is a hidden story made of fragility and disillusionment. It is the diary of an unbalanced relationship, the summary of a relationship made of attempts, expectations and unbridgeable gaps. “It’s because of what you didn’t do,” “I was used to you disappointing me,” and again: “I lowered my expectations.” However, there is no shortage of references to happy memories in the text: “We were perfect” and “I would do it all again”.

I don’t need a red Ferrari, I can buy one myself. Just wash the dishes: it’s really that easy!”.
