As a passionate fan, I’ve found myself caught in the whirlwind of intrigue surrounding Katy Perry’s “Lifetimes” music video.

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.

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.'”
