Katy Perry's 'Never Worn White' Lyrics Explained
Dissect Katy Perry's songs and you might find personal details you never knew. There is no question that in Perry's 2020 single, "Never Worn White," she's alluding to her engagement to Pirates of the Caribbean star Orlando Bloom.
First, the song opens to Felix Medelssohn's "Wedding March" which is typically played for wedding recessionals. Perry told Mikey Piff in an interview on SiriusXM (via People), "The song totally fell out of my mouth. I was next to my songwriter on the piano and I was like, 'Play the "Wedding March" song,' and that's literally how it happened." The wedding-themed song lyrics include the lines: "You asked the question/ I said yes, but I'm scared." Bloom proposed to Perry on Valentine's Day in 2019, according to People.
The single also appears to reference her on-again, off-again relationship with Bloom as she sings: "I've stood on the edge of love/ But never took the leap/ And you took my armor off/ And did it delicately/ And I let my guard down. To show you what's underneath."
