The Real Meaning Behind Katy Perry's Daisies Lyrics

Posted by Reinaldo Massengill on Friday, May 31, 2024

Singer/songwriter Katy Perry welcomed her first child, daughter Daisy Dove Bloom, with fiancé Orlando Bloom in late August 2020. Following the Instagram announcement, fans freaked out, wondering if Perry's single "Daisies" — which was released in May 2020 – was an inside scoop to her baby girl's name, per Vulture

Upon the release of the song, Perry took to Instagram to share the true meaning, writing, "I wrote this song a couple months ago as a call to remain true to the course you've set for yourself, regardless of what others may think." She continued: "Recently, it has taken a new meaning for me, in light of what the whole world is experiencing. Each of us is one in more than seven billion, with our own story of strength and resilience to tell." 

The pop singer completed the message with encouragement for her fans, noting, "I hope it will be the soundtrack to going for your dreams now... especially the ones we left behind." In an interview with Apple Music host Zane Lowe, Perry described the meaning further, calling "Daisies" an "anthem for [herself]" (via Billboard). She also revealed to Lowe that she wrote the song coming "out of a pretty dark time."
