As a long-time Katy Perry fan and someone who deeply respects the importance of environmental conservation, I find myself torn between my admiration for the pop sensation and the concern raised by her latest music video, “Lifetimes.”

As a passionate fan, I’ve found myself caught in the whirlwind of intrigue surrounding Katy Perry’s “Lifetimes” music video. Just days after its release, this video has piqued the interest of environmental authorities, leading to an investigation. Fans and critics alike are now eagerly awaiting the outcome of these inquiries.

Here is everything to know about why Perry’s “Lifetimes” music video is under investigation.

Why is Katy Perry’s ‘Lifetimes’ music video under investigation?

The Balearic Islands’ environment department is looking into Katy Perry’s “Lifetimes” music video following its release last week. On Tuesday, August 13, they announced a press release stating that the company producing the video failed to obtain the required permit to film in Ses Salines Natural Park’s protected sand dunes, specifically the sensitive dune system on S’Espalmador island, which is one of Formentera’s key natural areas.

The Environmental Department is looking into potential harm to the environment from filming activities that occurred in a protected and restricted area, indicated by ropes. Although this isn’t classified as an “ecological crime,” it’s seen as a breach because authorized videography or photography can be arranged through official procedures. The department’s statement highlights the lack of necessary permits. This oversight has sparked an inquiry regarding the production’s environmental consequences, which is receiving significant interest not just due to its location but also because Katy Perry is associated with it.

“Katy Perry’s second single, titled “Lifetimes,” comes from her upcoming sixth studio album, 143, which is due out in September via Capitol Records. This track, produced by Dr. Luke, follows the release of “Woman’s World.” The first single was unveiled in July 2024 and garnered mixed reviews. As we eagerly await Perry’s new album, it appears that the titles 143 might be a secret way of saying ‘I love you.'”
