<\/div>\n

Katy Perry<\/a> laments the conflicting feelings that come post-breakup, when love and intimacy fades and emotional distance pervades in her new song, \u201cSmall Talk.\u201d It\u2019s the second single the singer has unveiled in 2019, following the release of \u201cNever Really Over<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Co-written by Perry, Johan Carlsson, Charlie Puth and Jacob Kasher Hindlin, the song\u2019s lyrics don\u2019t mince words when it comes to the inevitable awkward conversations that ensue when running into a recent ex. \u201cActing like we never met\/Faking like we\u2019d just forget we were lovers,\u201d she sings.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsn\u2019t it weird that you\u2019ve seen me naked\/We had conversations about forever\/Now, it\u2019s about the weather, OK,\u201d she continues on the chorus. \u201cI just can\u2019t believe\/We went from strangers to lovers to strangers in a lifetime\/Now just memories\/We\u2019ve gone from strangers to lovers to strangers.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perry began teasing the new song via her Instagram<\/a> this week. Prior to the release of the track on Thursday at midnight, she unveiled several clips that hinted at the lyric video that was dropped at midnight along with the song. In the clips, a couple is seen in bed and also in an office setting that depict strained interactions.<\/p>\n
