Katy Perry Becomes Heartbreak Shaman in New ‘Never Really Over’ Video

水果姐在新歌“Never Really Over”的MV中化身心碎的薩滿道士

Katy Perry?is back with her upbeat new song “Never Really Over,” produced by electronic pop artist Zedd. Since it’s the first bit of original music from Perry after a brief hiatus, the title feels apt. But the song and its colorful video, are actually about a pesky, second-guessing heart, and the lengths of self-love and woo-woo healing Perry will put endure to make it go away. “‘I guess I could try hypnotherapy, I’ve gotta rewire this brain/ ‘Cause I can’t even go on the internet without even checking your name,” she sings in one of the best lines.

Katy Perry（水果姐）帶著她充滿正能量的新歌?“Never Really Over”回歸了，電子流行樂小天王Zedd擔(dān)任新歌制作人。這是水果姐短暫休息一段時間后的第一首獨創(chuàng)作品。這首振奮人心的歌以及它色彩斑斕的MV講述的卻是水果姐充滿煩惱、愛對自己進(jìn)行事后批評的內(nèi)心。不過自愛與歡笑治愈了她，也支撐著她沖破陰霾。“I guess I could try a new therapy, I’ve gotta rewire this brain（我想我得換個新療法，我需要重新連接我的大腦）/ ‘Cause I can’t even go on the internet without even checking your name（因為我每次上網(wǎng)都忍不住要查看你在不在線）?！边@歌詞可以說是很神了。

The video, in kind, follows Perry in all sorts of woo-woo, heart-mending rituals. She gets acupuncture, does yoga outside, interpretive dancing in an open field and a wellness retreat surrounded by hippies in flowy, festival garb. But all the while – at least when the chorus kicks in – those doubts and what-ifs creep, enticingly, back in. It’s all a welcome dive back to the gently self-deprecating Perry of the “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)” days of olde.

“Never Really Over”的MV形象地展現(xiàn)了水果姐如何以愜意、治愈的儀式追隨自己的本心，她做針灸，在戶外做瑜伽，在曠野里翩翩起舞，穿著飄逸的節(jié)日盛裝的嬉皮士圍繞著她靜修。不過自始至終，或者至少在副歌響起時，一切的疑問與擔(dān)憂又無法抗拒地涌上心頭。大家都?xì)g迎水果姐做回當(dāng)年“Last Friday Night”里那個溫柔又無憂無慮的自黑女孩。

Leading up to the release, Perry hosted an intimate Q&A with fans at the YouTube Space Los Angeles (and even got matching tattoos with them after.) During the discussion, Perry told moderator/choreographer Kyle Hanagami about her struggle to embrace the awkward dancer she is. “I’m not really a ballet kind of girl,” said Perry, “I’m more of a ‘pass the burrata’ girl.” Welcome back, Ms. Perry.?

在新歌發(fā)布之前，水果姐在洛杉磯的YouTube空間與粉絲們進(jìn)行了一場親密的問答活動（甚至在之后粉絲也有了與新歌logo相同的紋身）。在交談中，水果姐向MV舞蹈指導(dǎo)兼活動主持人Kyle Hanagami 說到自己如何努力地去接受自己是個蹩腳舞者的事實，水果姐說：“我并不是那種芭蕾女孩，我是吃貨女孩。”
