I don’t have live updates right now, but here’s what’s publicly known about Katy Perry’s “Never Really Over” and “Small Talk” in the recent past.
-
Never Really Over: Released in May 2019 as Katy Perry’s return with a solo single after a hiatus, produced with Zedd. It was marketed as a healing, empowering track about moving on from heartbreak, and its video features a bright, therapeutic-aesthetic setting. It performed well commercially and became a standout launch for that era.[1][4]
-
Small Talk: Dropped in August 2019 as a follow-up standalone single, co-written with Charlie Puth among others. It continued the “standalone singles” approach Katy discussed at the time and explored awkward post-relationship conversations with a retro vibe. It charted alongside Never Really Over and helped define the phase of her releases that year.[2][5]
If you’d like, I can look up the very latest coverage (news outlets, artist statements, and any new releases or reissues) and summarize with citations. I can also pull together a quick timeline of the two songs’ releases, chart performances, and key media coverage. Would you like me to fetch current news now?
