After teasing us with a couple of trailers and a few lyrics, Katy Perry finally shared the full video for "Never Really Over" -- her first solo single in two years -- at 12:01 a.m. Friday.

The colorful, upbeat clip, shot in Malibu, features the "American Idol" judge singing about trying to let go of a past heartbreak, while taking part in various heart-healing rituals, like yoga and acupuncture.
