Perry also shared a touching anecdote that inspired the song’s title. She revealed that every night before bed, she tells Daisy, “I love you,” and then asks, “Will you find me in every lifetime?” to which Daisy always responds with a heartfelt “Yes.” This nightly ritual exemplifies the deep bond and enduring love between mother and daughter, which Perry captures in her new track.
Reflecting on her relationship with her daughter, Perry expressed how Daisy filled a void in her life, stating, “The love I was missing, every mountain I climbed looking for this view, all this love, it came to me when she entered my life.” This sentiment underscores the profound impact Daisy has had on Perry’s emotional and creative world.
Perry also gave fans a sneak peek of ‘Lifetimes’ during an interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe. She previewed some of the lyrics, which include, ‘I love you for, I love you for life / Lifetimes / I know you feel it, can you believe it? / I’m going to love you till the end and then repeat it’. This snippet offers a glimpse into the song’s heartfelt and enduring message.
In addition to her single announcement, Perry shared what fans can expect from her album ‘143’ when it drops. She described the album as a dance-pop project with a mix of styles. According to Perry, one-third of the album is dance-focused, another third remains true to her pop roots, and the final third features rhythmic elements. This insight reflects her creative vision for the album, which she had previously described as a “bold, exuberant, celebratory dance-pop album” with the symbolic number ‘143’ representing love throughout the project.
