Alesso Closes Out 2021 With Major Hit ‘When I’m Gone’ Alongside Katy Perry!

December 29th marked the hotly anticipated global premiere of ‘When I’m Gone’, the electrifying new single from Alesso and Katy Perry. ‘When I’m Gone’ is the first-ever collaboration between the iconic GRAMMY-nominated producer/dance artist Alesso and the multi-platinum-selling pop superstar Katy Perry.

“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 honored 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.”Alesso

“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.”Katy Perry

Within the very first seconds of ‘When I’m Gone’, Alesso and Katy prove to be a match made in dancefloor heaven. A high-drama anthem built on throbbing beats and powerful piano melodies, the track spotlights Katy’s radiant vocal presence as she offers up a fierce warning to the one who’s left her behind: “You’re chasing the danger. It’s just in your nature. Look for me in strangers. All these pretty faces. No one can replace it. I’m always your favorite.” Written by Alesso and Katy with Alida Garpestad Peck, Rami Yacoub, Space PrimatesNathan Cunningham, and Marc Sibley, and Alma Goodman, ‘When I’m Gone’ comes to wild and dazzling life thanks to Alesso’s immaculate sound design and endlessly imaginative yet pop-perfect production. On Monday, January 10, the official music video for ‘When I’m Gone’ will receive a massive worldwide premiere when ESPN broadcasts the video at halftime of the 2022 College Football Playoff National Championship.
