Katy Perry released the single 'Lifetimes' on August 8.

The Spanish government is investigating Katy Perry for allegedly filming the music video for 'Lifetimes' on protected sand dunes without permission.

The video was filmed on the islands of Ibiza and Formentera, including the protected dunes on the isle of S’Espalmador.

The production company WeOwnTheCity did not secure permission to film at the location, according to the environmental department of the Balearic Islands.

The dunes on S’Espalmador are part of the Ses Salines de Ibiza and Formentera natural park and are considered to have great ecological value.
