Wide Awake
Perry releases Wide Awake from her album Teenage Dream: The Complete Collection. Perry wants her audience to feel certain emotions when listening to the song:
Well, this song, I have a lot of different emotions and feelings in all of my songs. This song in particular is a dose of reality. It’s kind of like coming down from a high. You’ve been on cloud nine for so long, and it can’t always be so sweet and sometimes you need to realize that, and you have to pick yourself up and move forward and face the facts of life and know that this is just a lesson you learn and you’re stronger because of it.
