Katy Perry and Alesso dart onto the dancefloor with their brand new single ‘When I’m Gone.’

The collaborative jam arrives on the same day the starlet presses ‘Play’ on her like-titled Las Vegas residency at Resort World.

A slick slice of EDM flavored Pop, the track serves as the first taste of fresh material from Perry since this summer’s ‘Electric’ and is considered a possible preview of her next studio project.

Speaking on the release, Alesso said:

“I’m so thrilled that “When I’m Gone” is finally out. We’ve been waiting the whole year to share it with all of you. I’m honored to collaborate with Katy on such an amazing dance record and with ESPN to become the first artists to premiere our music video at halftime of the College Football Playoff National Championship. I loved working with her and think this song and video came out super special.” 

Perry added:

“When it comes to my music videos we all know I like to push the boundaries and myself, and create unique opportunities for my fans to see them. ESPN and especially College GameDay hold a special place in my heart, so partnering with Alesso to become the first artists to ever debut a global music video within a live event on ESPN made for a perfect and natural pairing.”

While the track doesn’t reinvent the wheel, it does drive in a delightful direction and by the time it reaches its penultimate destination, it satisfies in earnest.
