KATY Perry looked sensational on a swim in the Italian sea with her fiancé Orlando Bloom – ahead of her return to music.
The pop superstar showed off her incredible physique as she paddled in the waters off the coast of Maiori, Italy.
Katy and Orlando love Europe and holiday there most years.
And she’s been sunning herself across the continent for the past month while promoting her music comeback.
Just weeks ago the Californian girl was spotted dishing out shots in Barcelona after teasing her new track.
The song, Lifetimes, is released on Friday and is being tipped to be a late summer smash hit.
She’s also been sending fans into a frenzy on Instagram with glamorous bikini photos from her travels.
The stunning mum captioned one shot as she posed on a little boat: “9/10 experts say pre-saving LIFETIMES can cure motion sickness.”
Fans were blown away as she teased the track, with one writing: “The 30 seconds of lifetimes we heard already touched our heart in such a special way, we are so Ready.”
Another said: “This is gonna smash so hard and we cannot wait mother!”
After heading to a load of sun-soaked locations including St Tropez and Paris, Katy hit London to promote the song.
She spoke to The Sun, and told us: “I always wanted to make a dance pop record.
“One third is more dance than I have ever done before. One third is quintessential pop and then one third is rhythmic.”
The song is inspired by Katy’s daughter Daisy, three, and the singer’s face bursts into a grin as she talks about her.
She continues: “It is funny how sometimes you’re looking for your soulmate in a partner. It could be a dog, your mum, your best friend, your cat . . . but for me it came in the form of Daisy.
“I wrote Lifetimes about her. Every night, before we go to sleep, I say, ‘I love you’, and then I ask, ‘Will you find me in every lifetime?’ and she says, ‘Yes’.”
