She’s joined in the control room by Alesso as the song builds to a dizzying frenzy.

Released in late December via 10:22PM/Astralwerks/Capitol Records, “When I’m Gone” is the first-ever collaboration between the iconic GRAMMY-nominated producer/dance artist and the pop superstar, who is a member of the elite RIAA 100 million certified songs club.

Alesso, Katy Perry – When I’m Gone (Official Music Video)

Perry is no stranger to major college football. She was the College GameDay guest picker in 2014 for the Alabama-Ole Miss game. She notes, “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.”

“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,” Alesso said. “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.”

Lyrics

When I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on
But it won’t be for long, you’ll see
When I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on
But no one’s gonna feel like, feel like…Thought it would be easy
Easy to forget me
Let go of the memories (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Now your bed is empty
And you’re waking up, sweating
I’m still in your wild dreamsLate nights, callin’ me, callin’ me
Do anything to keep me close
Well you should know it’s gonna be, gonna be
So hard for you to let me goWhen I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on
But it won’t be for long, you’ll see
When I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on
But no one’s gonna feel like, feel like…Me on top of you
Touch you like I do
No, you’ll never forget
When I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on
But no one’s gonna feel like, feel like…You’re chasing the danger
It’s just in your nature
Look for me in strangers (ah, ah, ah, ah)
All these pretty faces
No one can replace it
I’m always your favoriteLate nights, callin’ me, callin’ me
Do anything to keep me close
Well you should know it’s gonna be, gonna be
So hard for you to let me goWhen I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on
But it won’t be for long, you’ll see
When I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on (never really gone)
But no one’s gonna feel like (no one’s gonna feel like)Me on top of you
Touch you like I do
No, you’ll never forget
When I’m gone I’m never really gone
You think you’re moving on
But no one’s gonna feel like, feel like meWhen I’m goneWhen I’m gone
