---|---|
Song |
"The One That Got Away" is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry. The song was written by Perry, Dr. Luke, and Max Martin, and was produced by the same for Perry's second studio album, Teenage Dream (2010). The song is a mid-tempo pop ballad about a lost love.
"The One That Got Away" received mixed reviews from music critics. The song was released in September 2011 by Capitol Records as the sixth single from the album. It impacted US Top 40/Mainstream radio on September 28, 2011,[1] and Rhythmic radio on October 11, 2011,[2] It will impact Hot/Modern/AC radio on October 31, 2011.[3]
Background and artwork
On September 13, 2011, at the New York City's Irving Plaza, Capitol Records confirmed to Billboard that "The One That Got Away" would be the sixth single from "Teenage Dream".[1] Perry said in a statement from the label:
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 (it) about when you promise someone forever, but you end up not being able to follow through. It's a bittersweet story. Hopefully, the listener learns from hearing it and never has to say they had 'The One' get away.[4]
Capitol Records said that they're not specifically releasing the song in hopes of it reaching number one and re-writing Hot 100 history, rather the decision came out of "Perry's fondness for the song, its ear-catching hook and her obvious track record of success at pop radio".[1] EMI Music/Capitol Records EVP/marketing and promotion Greg Thompson told Billboard that, "if it goes to No. 1, that would be great, If not, we still have a Katy song on the radio in fourth quarter", presumably boosting sales for Teenage Dream in the Christmas season.[1] The label serviced "The One That Got Away" to US mainstream top 40 stations on September 28, 2011, at noon ET.[4]
On September 28, 2011, Katy Perry tweeted the words "The One That Got Away... It's happening!!!", along with a picture of the official single artwork, via TwitPic.[5] The artwork shows a a pink-haired Perry looking up at the sky while wearing a disc-shaped hat. The photo gives a whimsical nod to the 70s, with its distinctively retro appearance.[6] Amy Sciarretto of PopCrush commented that the artwork shows Perry in a "deep thought and remembering the one that actually did get away from her."[7]

Michael Wood from 'Spin Magazine' said that the song adding that is one of the album's quieter cuts and that it recall(s) Perry's singer-songwriter days at L.A.'s Hotel Café".[12].

The song follows the chord progression of E–G#m–C#m–A and Perry's vocal range and spans two octaves from B3 to E5.[13] The song was built on a relentless drum beat and a music box melody which highlights Perry’s breathy voice.[7] Kitty Empire noticed that Perry's vocal is wistful throughout the song and that the references to June and Johnny Cash was unexpected.[14].
