Singer-songwriter MACO, who has garnered strong support from her generation with down-to-earth lyrics, rose to prominence after a Japanese-lyric cover of a Western pop song she posted on YouTube drew huge attention.

This cover of Katy Perry’s global hit preserves the original’s powerful message of self-affirmation while the delicate Japanese lyrics breathe new life into it, offering deep comfort and courage to listeners.

It’s a track included on her major-label debut mini-album “23,” released in July 2014.

Seamlessly fusing the cadence of English with the emotional nuance of Japanese, the song invites even those unfamiliar with Western pop into its world.

Katy Perry, who has long led the scene as the queen of pop, returns with a new single in November 2025—about a year after her 2024 album “143.” The song is a wistful ballad that likens the end of a long-term relationship to a “bandage.” It carefully portrays the protagonist’s struggle to move forward while covering up the wound, blending a modern production with the pop-rock sensibility reminiscent of her early classic “One of the Boys.” The music video depicts a string of misfortunes with a heavy dose of black humor, leaving a strong impression with its distinctive world where pain and laughter coexist.

It’s a must-listen for anyone trying to recover from a breakup or for those who value subtle emotional nuance.
