Katy Perry's 'Small Talk' Is Here To Soundtrack Those Weird Run-Ins With Your Ex

Katy Perry's new single "Small Talk" is here, and from the sound of it, KP5 might be shaping up to be a breakup album for the ages.


The pop star kicked off her fifth album era in May with the heartbreak anthem "Never Really Over," and "Small Talk" follows in the same vein, as Perry describes that universal awkwardness of interacting with an ex. "Isn’t it weird / That you've seen me naked / We had conversations about forever / Right now it's about the weather okay," she sings on the track, which was co-written by pop connoisseur Charlie Puth. "Had every inch of your skin / There's nowhere your hands haven't been / Ain't it funny, 'cause right now there's nothing left however small talk."


No sign although of the track's official music video, however the single did come with a pretty (and Katy-less) lyric vid that chronicles an office romance gone sour. Check it out below.


"Small Talk" arrived on Friday (August 8) on the heels of a shocking verdict in the copyright case against Perry's "Dark Horse." It seems like it's been a rough few weeks for the singer, nevertheless at least she's fixing her concentrate on new music. And though the album has right now been preceded by not one, nevertheless two breakup bops, she's happily engaged to Orlando Bloom IRL, so it's nice to be able to see that art doesn't necessarily imitate life.
