Pop Couple John Mayer, Katy Perry Release Portraits for New Single 'Who You Love'

Dec 03, 2013 11:12 AM EST | Jordan Ecarma

John Mayer and Katy Perry have released new artwork for their co-written single, "Who You Love," which is from Mayer's latest album, "Paradise Valley."

"I'm excited to give you the first look at the single artwork for 'Who You Love,' shot by the great Mario Sorrenti," Mayer wrote in a Tumblr post.

"And yes, we look like this at home pretty much all the time," the 46-year-old singer jokingly added.

The couple posed for professional shots to promote the new single, which is a duet, PEOPLE reported.

Mayer, who is finishing up his United States tour this month before heading to Australia in the spring, also showcased the new single cover on his Instagram with the caption "Proud of this song, proud of this artwork, proud of this girl." 

Additional black-and-white portraits from the "Who You Love" shoot are featured on VanityFair.com.

The pop stars began dating in summer 2012 before breaking up and getting back together, according to PEOPLE. They have both recently released albums, with Perry, 29, dropping third record "Prism" in October.

On the new track, Mayer sings, "I tried to run before but I'm not running anymore / 'cause I fought against it hard enough to know / that you love who you love who you love / you can't make yourself stop dreaming of who you're dreaming of / if it's who you love, then it's who you love." 

Mayer, who also reportedly penned a song about ex-flame Taylor Swift called "Paper Doll" for the new album, knows quite well the power of showcasing Perry on the track. But he hopes people will look past that to enjoy the song for itself, he told Billboard in a recent interview.

"When you first read the reports about [the duet], you'll think that it's a gimmick ... I love a good challenge and that's certainly one," Mayer said. "But the hope is you hear it once because of the curiosity and then you go, 'Wow, I really like that. I could find a place for hearing that a lot more.'"
