I titled it ‘Bad Photographs’ because the idea is that when people are in a relationship they only take photographs when they are happy, and sometimes when it ends you realize maybe it would be important to take photographs when it’s not happy. So I have this idea.
Looking back we should have taken photographs
of all the unhappiness
coz now my mind’s playing tricks on me
I forget we are not meant to be
You know what I am saying? So I put it in this song last night. That’s how I write a song.

“I’m not in a relationship, I’m just on my own—I am myself in my own bed. I have to be happy being alone, and I am happy. I believe that I will be loved again, in the right way. I know I’m worth it.” - Katy Perry for Vogue - 2013
