Alesso and Katy Perry have teamed up for new single ‘When I’m Gone’, out now.

The anthemic dancefloor-filler is the first-ever collab to come from the Grammy-nominated DJ/producer and multi-platinum-selling pop superstar.

The official music video will premier worldwide on 10 January 2022 during the 2022 halftime broadcast of the College Football Playoff National Championship on ESPN/BT Sport.

Alesso commented, “I’m so thrilled that “When I’m Gone” is finally out. We’ve been waiting the whole year to share it with all of you. I’m honoured to collaborate with Katy on such an amazing dance record and with ESPN to become the first artists to premiere our music video at halftime of the College Football Playoff National Championship. I loved working with her and think this song and video came out super special.”

Katy Perry added, “When it comes to my music videos we all know I like to push the boundaries and myself, and create unique opportunities for my fans to see them. ESPN and especially College GameDay hold a special place in my heart, so partnering with Alesso to become the first artists to ever debut a global music video within a live event on ESPN made for a perfect and natural pairing.”
