Katy Perry has put her spin on one of the memorable songs from the award-winning Broadway musical Dear Evan Hansen.
The pop star recorded a version of “Waving Through A Window,” which was written by Benji Pasek and Justin Paul.
Perry said Thursday she was “emotionally transformed forever” when she saw the musical about a young man with social anxiety in 2017. (A Toronto production opens in March.)
“In my own life, I’ve struggled with depression, and like so many, always feeling alone in the battle of wanting to belong,” she explained in an Instagram post.
Perry said the song “embodied the mental isolation I sometimes fought.”
She added: “I hope this song helps you know that you are not alone, and that I’m waving back at you.”
