“Teenage Dream” was released as the second single from Perry’s studio album of the same name . The song became Perry’s second number one Hot 100 single from the album, following the number one peak of the previous single, “California Girls” .
While discussing “Teenage Dream,” Katy said that the song is about recapturing the dizzying, thrilling feeling of first love.
When you’re growing up and you’re falling in love for the first time, it’s such an amazing feeling that sometimes you can’t recycle again later on in your life. For me, being in love again now, it’s kind of the same feeling.
In 2018, NPR ranked this as the #63 greatest song by a female or nonbinary artist in the 21st century, saying:
While this era’s faux-woke, grill-sporting Katy Perry has taken a nosedive into a cyclone of dystopian kitsch, there was a time when her appeal was simple: Her nostalgic pop singles were silky and pristine, like a soft swirl of vanilla ice cream. At a time when pop can feel overstuffed with spectacle — multi-artist guest features, visual drops, strategically planned Twitter beef — listening to ‘Teenage Dream’ provokes wistful reconsideration of a classic formula, one whose subtlety and nuance can be easily overlooked. The song is a blissful memory encased in glass: ‘We can dance until we die / you and I,’ Perry sings, promising to stretch the ephemeral. The beauty is in stasis, sealed with a declaration: ‘We’ll be young forever.’
According to an interview from Billboard by Bonnie McKee, one of the songwriter’s of the song, the chorus came first:
“Teenage Dream” was the most difficult song I’ve ever been a part of. We wrote five different versions of it. We couldn’t get the lyrics right. Max Martin and Dr. Luke wrote most of the melody, and then Katy Perry and I were responsible for getting the lyrics right. We started with a hook – I usually start with a hook – but there were several different versions of the hook before “Teenage Dream” came together. We had some kind of filler shit that no one was feeling good about or satisfied with. Then I went off and had a good think with myself – looked at myself long and hard in the mirror and was like, “this is your Eminem 8 Mile moment – don’t fuck it up.” And then “teenage dream” came to me. So once we had the words "teenage dream,” the rest of it really fell into its place."
Best song I wrote… I think “Teenage Dream” takes the cake. That was just a song that everyone, from the obvious 15-year-old girls crying in the audience to their dad, was like “This song spoke to me.” I was actually just listening to Fall Out Boy’s song “Centuries.” I actually met the lead singer at a CAA party last year and he was like, “Hey, I’m a big fan of your writing, ‘Teenage Dream’ is one of my favorite songs.” He quotes it in the song and every time I hear it — I’m like, “Hey I wrote that!"
