Here Are the Lyrics to Katy Perry’s “Never Really Over”

Katy Perry‘s comeback bid is officially underway. The pop star just dropped her new single, “Never Really Over,” marking her first solo release since 2017’s Witness era.

Perry tapped “365” collaborator Zedd and Dreamlab for production duties on the energetic outing, and it certainly shows in the arcing electro synths that accompany the song’s singalong chorus.

“I brought [Zedd] on the song and said wow it sounds amazing,” the singer explained in a statement. “Specifically the lyrics in the second verse, which I love is: ‘I guess I should try to go to therapy to try to get you out of my brain, I can’t even go on the internet, without even checking your name.’”

I’m losing my self-control
Yeah, you’re starting to trickle back in
But I don’t wanna fall down the rabbit hole
Cross my heart, I won’t do it again

I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, “Draw the line”
And I do, I do
But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line
And I think of you

Two years, and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done
But I guess it’s never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn’t it the best?
Thought it was done
But I guess it’s never really over

Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be comin’ over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be comin’ over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again

I guess I could try hypnotherapy
I gotta rewire this brain
‘Cause I can’t even go on the internet
Without even checking your name

I tell myself, tell myself, tell myself, “Draw the line”
And I do, I do
But once in a while, I trip up, and I cross the line
I think of you

Two years, and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done
But I guess it’s never really over
Oh, we were such a mess
But wasn’t it the best?
Thought it was done
But I guess it’s never really over

Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be comin’ over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be comin’ over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again

Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time was the last
But I guess it’s never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can’t keep going back
I guess it’s never really over, hey

Two years, and just like that
My head still takes me back
Thought it was done
But I guess it’s never really over

Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be comin’ over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
Just because it’s over doesn’t mean it’s really over
And if I think it over, maybe you’ll be comin’ over again
And I’ll have to get over you all over again
Over you all over again

Thought we kissed goodbye
Thought we meant this time was the last
But I guess it’s never really over
Thought we drew the line
Right through you and I
Can’t keep going back
I guess it’s never really over
