About Harleys in Hawaii

"Harleys in Hawaii" is a song by American singer Katy Perry. It was released as a stand-alone single on October 16, 2019 along with its music video. The song was written by Jacob Kasher Hindlin, Perry and its producers Charlie Puth and Johan Carlsson. On October 14, 2019, Perry revealed the song's cover art and announced it would be released two days later, with Fox News calling the image "retro". She stated on the Zach Sang Show that the inspiration for the song was a trip to Hawaii with fiancé Orlando Bloom, saying: "I can remember specifically where I was, the street corner I was at in Oahu and turning that corner and whispering to Orlando, going 'I'm going to write a song called 'Harleys in Hawaii'". Perry shot a music video for the song in Hawaii in July 2019, and Puth commented in September 2019 that he was in the process of approving a mix of the song, as well as that he had "a lot of fun" creating the song with Perry. The video was directed by Pau Lopez, Gerardo del Hierro, and Tomas Pena under the name Manson and was released on October 16, 2019.
