Katy Perry Makes Out While Skydiving, Slithers in Bikini on Corvette Hood in ‘I’m His, He’s Mine’ Video With Doechii
If you’re still wiping the steam off your screen from Katy Perry‘s NSFW debut performance of “I’m His, He’s Mine” with Doechii during her career-spanning medley at this week’s 2024 VMAs, buckle up because the official video is just as provocative.
The TORSO-directed clip for the third single from Perry’s upcoming 143 album (due out on Sept. 20) dropped on Friday morning (Sept. 13) and it combines some hair-raising green-screen stunts with a racy tabletop dance atop a speeding muscle car. The clip opens with Perry elegantly tumbling through the atmosphere in free fall as she makes out with a hunky dude who looks a bit like her daredevil skydiving fiancé actor Orlando Bloom.

“I’m his queen, I’m his freak/ I’m every woman he wants and needs,” Perry sings as she cradles the man’s head while they hurtle toward the ground, before the camera cuts to a bikini-wearing Doechii dancing in an elevator while delivering her her own alluring come on: “I’m his boss, I’m that b–ch/ I’m every woman he knows exists.”
After Perry and her cloud ranger love interest’s clothes peel off during their mid-air make out sesh — with no parachutes in sight, we might add — the scene shifts to the singer splayed out on the hood of a gleaming chrome Corvette cruising down a suburban Barcelona street. Wearing a complex, skin-revealing metallic harness black monokini, Perry does the splits and slithers on the windshield as she sings about “creepin’ in his DMs” and “sleepin’ in his sweatpants.”
Perry then gets tossed from her moving automotive dance platform, falling into the arms of her hunky love interest, clad in nothing but skimpy white underwear. The two women finally team up on a soundstage where they crawl around each other on the floor before Doechii takes to the air for a drone-assisted sky dance.
“I’m His” prominently samples Crystal Waters’ beloved 1991 house single “Gypsy Woman (She’s Homeless),” which features the hypnotic refrain “la da dee, la dee da.” It follows on the heels of Perry’s first 143 single, “Woman’s World” — which sparked criticism over Dr. Luke’s involvement — and second focus track, “Lifetimes.”
As provocative as the visual is, it’s PG-13 compared to the the performance at the VMAs, during which the two singers twisted themselves into sapphic pretzels and kissed in a moment that made Taylor Swift’s jaw drop.
