In October 2023, Mayer reflected on his 2013 song “Who You Love,” which featured Perry.
“Isn’t that great? I’m glad we did that,” he told Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live at the time. “I like the way that she sounds on that song. She got that way of singing down and met the challenge of that song. It was so much fun.”
Mayer also previously confirmed to the New York Times that his 2017 track “Still Feel Like Your Man” was about Perry.
“Who else would I be thinking about?” he told the outlet at the time. “And by the way, it’s a testament to the fact that I have not dated a lot of people in the last five, six years. That was my only relationship. So it’s like, give me this, people.”
While Mayer hasn’t gone public with a relationship in recent years, Perry has built a family with Bloom. In fact, the Lord of the Rings actor recently praised his partner as she received the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards.
“I know her as a mother, as a partner who brings that same sense of love and joy to our family,” Bloom said during the September ceremony. “She loves with her whole heart and it’s kind of irresistible. Congratulations on this honor baby, I’m so proud of you.”
