“Stop this train,” of course, is a nod to his 2006 hit of the same name. In the song, the star says that he “had a talk with my old man” about getting older. “He said, ‘Turn sixty-eight / You’ll renegotiate / Don’t stop this train / Don’t for a minute change the place you’re in / And don’t think I couldn’t ever understand / I tried my hand / John, honestly, we’ll never stop this train,'” he sings.

Perry and the “Gravity” singer split for good last year after dating on and off for three years. Mayer, who collaborated with her on 2013’s “Who You Love,” previously said that his new music is inspired mainly by her.
