Who You Love
The artist releases Who You Love, featuring Perry, from his album, Paradise Valley. Mayer:
I started singing ‘And my girl, she ain’t the one I saw coming. Sometimes I don’t know which way to go. And I tried to run before, but I’m not running anymore.’ In 2013, modern-day times that’s sweet. Because there’s so many other things to occupy your time that you can do for yourself. That to say, I tried to be alone but I can’t. This is sort of our generation.
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.

The One That Got Away
Perry releases the single, The One That Got Away, from her album, Teenage Dream. Perry:
I’m so pleased to select The One That Got Away as my sixth single because this song shows a very different side of me that I haven’t shown with my past singles on this record.
I think that everyone can relate to this song. I wrote this song about when you promise someone forever, but you end up not being able to follow through.

Firework
Perry releases Firework from her album Teenage Dream. The song is inspired by a line from Jack Kerouac’s On the Road:
…the only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue center-light pop and everybody goes, ‘Awww!’
Teenage Dream
Perry releases the single, Teenage Dream, from her album with the same name, Teenage Dream.
Teenage Dream is a euphoric feeling. It gives off this feeling that a lot of people have been through. I remember my teenage years, and I remember falling in love for the first time and how impressionable that was. How sensitive I was to every feeling. Heartbreak was really hard. Of course heartbreak is really hard now, and love is still intense, but it’s a different type of feeling, that teenage love. I want people to have that feeling again of falling in love unabashedly – those teenage dreams.
California Gurls
Perry releases the single which features Snoop Dogg, California Gurls, from her album Teenage Dream. Perry co-wrote the song with “Dr. Luke” Gottwald and Max Martin:
My serotonin level changes, my personality changes. California Gurls talks about all those iconic things that you’ve seen on postcards and on TV. And I wanted to do a homage to the Beach Boys.
Thinking of You
Perry releases the single, Thinking of You, from her album, One of the Boys.
Hot N Cold
Perry releases Hot N Cold, from her album, One of the Boys. The song is inspired by an ex-boyfriend:
One day this person would send me a text and I would be so thrilled about it because I had been waiting for some kind of sign – a smoke signal. He would be all interested and then I would just lose him, or one day he would want to see me and then one day he wouldn’t. I didn’t know what was wrong with him, if he was bipolar, or if he was wearing a mood ring. I took the theme and the song kind of spilled out of me.
