"Daisies" is a song recorded by American singer Katy Perry from her upcoming sixth studio album. It was released on May 15, 2020, through Capitol Records as the first single from the album. The song will be serviced to US adult contemporary and pop radio formats on May 18 and June 2, 2020. She co-wrote the track with Jonathan Bellion, Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Michael Pollack, and its producers Jordan K. Johnson and Stefan Johnson of The Monsters & Strangerz.

Background and release

On May 7, 2020, Perry announced through social media that her upcoming sixth album's first single, entitled "Daisies", would be released on May 15, 2020. Its cover art was also posted that day, featuring Perry smiling in a field of yellow daisies. The following day, in a promotional campaign for "Daisies", coinciding with Mother's Day, a digital flower shop called "Katy's Daisies" which offers 12 free multicolored bouquet options to "tell someone you care, you love them, you miss them, or simply thank them for believing in you" was opened.

On a Facebook live stream, Perry shared details about the song, saying, "It's a song for all of the dreams that you guys have been dreaming about, and all the things you want to achieve". When "Daisies" premiered, she also revealed on social media that the song was written "a couple of months ago as a call to remain true to the course you've set for yourself, regardless of what others may think".

Critical reception

Alexa Camp of Slant called it "atmospheric ballad". Brittany Spanos of Rolling Stone magazine describes Perry's new work as a "booming, empowering bright track". On May 15, both the song and accompanying music video reached the number one spot on the iTunes Charts.

Live performances

On May 15, 2020, Perry performed a stripped-down take of "Daisies" and participated in a Q&A with fans on Amazon Music's weekly Friday Live performance series. The following day, she will also perform the song on Houseparty's "In the House" event. Perry will make the television debut performance of the song during the eighteenth season finale of American Idol on May 17, 2020.
