"Teenage Dream"
Song

"Teenage Dream" is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry. It was released as the second single from her third studio album of the same name on July 23, 2010 through digital distribution. Perry and Bonnie McKee wrote many songs with a youthful theme in mind, but they were rejected by producers Benny Blanco and Dr. Luke. Blanco showed them The Teenagers' single "Homecoming", and McKee imagined "Teenage Dream" as a throwback song to the euphoric feelings of being in love as a teenager. They met with Max Martin in Perry's hometown of Santa Barbara, California and started writing the track at Playback Recording Studio, which Perry later described as a pure moment for her. After Perry recorded her vocals, McKee presented her idea and the chorus was rewritten. Perry also described the song as reminiscent of her youth while contemplating her future marriage to boyfriend Russell Brand.

Musically, "Teenage Dream" is a mid-tempo pop song with a retro sound. It is styled in the genres of power pop and electropop, while taking influence from other genres such as disco, pop rock, and industrial music. Perry starts the song in a high-pitched voice while her vocals grow stronger as the song progresses. Lyrically "Teenage Dream" discusses being with a lover that makes one feel young again. "Teenage Dream" received generally positive reviews from music critics, some praising its nature and sound, but with others dismissing its lyrics as "too carefree and immature." The song has topped the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Perry's third number-one single on that chart, and her second consecutive number-one single after California Gurls (2010). "Teenage Dream" has been certified four times platinum in the United States, as well as receiving platinum and multi-platinum certifications in other countries.

A music video for the song was filmed in various locations around Perry's hometown in Santa Barbara, California and was directed by Yoann Lemoine. The video premiered on August 10, 2010, the video showcases Perry being in love with her high school sweetheart. Perry has performed the song on Saturday Night Live, the 2010 Teen Choice Awards, 53rd Grammy Awards and others. "Teenage Dream" was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, becoming Perry's third nomination in the category. Rolling Stone listed the song as the fourth best song of 2010.[1] The song is featured in the Best Buy edition of Just Dance 3. The song has been covered numerous times appearing on such as American Idol, The Voice , and Glee. The song was also covered by Justin Bieber and Lady Antebellum.

Background and writing

Perry performing "Teenage Dream"

When Perry and McKee first met in 2004, they both were "really into Lolita" and "had a mutual fascination with the adolescent state of mind." They explored the themes in their first records: Perry wrote One of the Boys, which touched on the early stages of discovering that boys could be more than friends, whereas McKee wrote "Confessions of a Teenage Girl", which was about using sexual power to one's advantage. For the Teenage Dream sessions, Perry and McKee had a "forever young" idea in mind. Perry at first wrote a lyric about Peter Pan, but they later deemed it as "too young" since "we wanted it to have more edge, more sex." Another version included the lines "And the next thing you know / You’re a mom in a minivan", which made them laugh uncontrollably for an hour. There was a final version that was based around the metaphor of "trying me on" comparing clothes to sex, in a similar manner to Madonna's 1985 single "Dress You Up". It was rejected by the producers, as McKee explained, "Luke always makes us 'Benny Proof' everything. He says that if Benny doesn't get it, America won't get it." Blanco showed them The Teenagers's 2007 single "Homecoming" and asked them to write in a similar style. McKee said that "[We] looked at each other with dread, knowing we had to start all over again. [...] We were both so over it we just called it a night."[2] McKee continued working on the song the following days. She explained,

"I thought about my own adolescent years, my own first love. I thought about watching Baz Luhrmann's 'Romeo and Juliet' [sic] and putting on a little mini disco ball light and just dreaming of Leo. I thought about me and my friends sitting around at slumber parties in the 90’s, giddy even just THINKING about boys. [...] I thought about what Benny said and I listened to the song again, and I was like The Teenagers… that’s such a great word, Teenager. It is a very descriptive word; it packs a lot of emotion and imagery into three syllables. [...] I couldn’t believe after all of our agonizing over 'youth' themes, that we had overlooked such an obvious one – the teenage condition."[2]

The following week, Perry invited McKee, Luke, and Martin to write at her hometown of Santa Barbara, California. McKee tried to approach Luke about her idea, but he was upset about the amount of time he had spent working in the chorus, so he banned them from changing it. They started working on the verses, where Perry had already prepared most of the imagery.[2] Perry described the process "a very pure moment for me" and continued saying, "[It was] where I started my creative juices. And also it kind of exudes this euphoric feeling because everybody remembers what their teenage dreams were — all the girls that were on your poster walls."[3] After she recorded the vocals, McKee pulled Luke and Martin aside and told them her idea, to which they responded, "Well why didn’t you say that in the first place?". The chorus was rewritten, and the line "Skin tight jeans" was taken from the early "trying me on" version. When the final version was finished, McKee said, "We were all so pumped that it had paid off. I remember Max sitting back and saying 'I wish we could bottle this feeling'. It was really magical."[2] Perry commented that even though the song was rewritten many times, she was "so happy to finally get somewhere that we all agreed on" after it was finished.[4] During an interview in June 2010, Perry confirmed "Teenage Dream" as the second single from the album, and said that the song was about "kind of like feeling that way when you were a teenager: really emotional, really invested. ... It's intense being in love and being a teenager."[5] After confirming that "Teenage Dream" was also the title of the album, she explained that it was a throwback to her teenage years, as she thought back to her youth while contemplating marriage to her boyfriend Russell Brand. She added, "To me, this year is pretty heavy. I am going to be getting married and putting out this record, and there is so much going on that it's nice to think of those young dreams."[6]

Composition

"Teenage Dream" is a midtempo pop song with a strong beat that follows the retro sound of previous single "California Gurls".[7][8] It is predominately a power pop and electropop song,[9][10] which features influences of disco, pop rock, and industrial music.[11][12][13] According to the sheet music published at Musicnotes.com, by Alfred Music Publishing, the song is written in the key of B major, and moves at a tempo of 121 beats per minute.[12] It has the sequence of B–B2–B as its chord progression.[12] These chords are played on guitar throughout the song, but with the addition of different bass notes from halfway through the first verse, the overall harmony can be heard as Emaj9(no3) - Gm7 - Fsus4. Perry's vocals in the song span from the note of B3 to the note of F5.[12] The song starts with relatively high vocals, with Perry singing in head voice; it also continues during the second verse.[14][15] As the track continues, the vocals get stronger and more powerful, "giving a musical indication of the power of the relationship being described", according to Bill Lamb of About.com.[14] Amos Barshad of New York said that "if not for a bluntly muscular chorus ('You! … make! … me!'), [the song] is nearly a ballad."[16] The lyrics refer to being with a lover that makes one feel like a teenager.[8] According to James Montgomery of MTV, the lyrics refer to being in love, and about the feelings of commitment and security that it brings.[3] They also talk about taking the relationship further in lines such as: "Lets go all the way tonight / No regrets, just love / We can dance until we die / You and I / We'll be young forever".[15]

Critical reception

Bill Lamb of About.com commented that "Teenage Dream" "has the sound and feel of an instant classic love song" and is "probably the most universally appealing love song yet released in 2010". He also added, "Technically, Katy Perry is not a phenomenal singer, but she has proven very adept at helping to create phenomenal songs to sing."[14] Craig Marks of Billboard said that along with "California Gurls", the songs "are textbook summer singles whose ingenious pop hooks and zillion-dollar drum tracks are stamped with Perry's knack for a memorable line and frothy, gum-snapping persona."[17] James Montgomery of MTV commented that "Teenage Dream" showed a "definite change of pace for Perry. While it's still as saccharine sweet as her previous hits, there's also a rather, well, mature quality to it (despite the title)."[3] Amos Barshad of New York said, "Right now, it’s feeling a bit too earnest, and not nearly as catchy as the follow-up single from Perry’s first album ('Hot n Cold,' most definitely still a jam). That said, we are now mentally preparing ourselves for its ubiquity."[16] Alyssa Rosenberg of The Atlantic dismissed the lyrics as "simply annoying and incoherent" and added that "the hook and chorus aren't nearly compelling enough to pull me back into it."[18] It ranked number 4 on Rolling Stone's Best Singles of 2010.[19] The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

Chart performance

"Teenage Dream" debuted at number 20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 dated August 7, 2010, becoming the week's Hot Shot debut. It also debuted on the Hot Digital Songs chart at number 11 with 84,000 downloads, and on the Radio Songs chart at number 75. According to Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, "Teenage Dream" set the record for most added song in a week with 64 new stations and 14.9 million plays.[20] The following week, it jumped to number seven on the Hot 100, due to a radio audience of 29.5 million impressions and an increase of 183,000 downloads. On the issue dated September 18, 2010, the song topped the chart becoming her second consecutive number one-single and her third overall number one-single. In the teenage-driven era of rock music, the song is only the second number 1 single in the U.S., since 1955, to have "teen", "teenage" or "teenager" in its title – the first being 1960's "Teen Angel" by Mark Dinning.[21] The same week, it debuted at number 20 in the Canadian Hot 100.[22] On the September 2 issue of the Canadian Digital Download Chart, Teenage Dream rose to number one, making it her third number one on that tally.[23][24] It went to number one in New Zealand on the August 30 chart making it her third number one in NZ this year preceded by "If We Ever Meet Again" with Timbaland early 2010 and California Gurls mid 2010. Overall the song remained at Number 1 for 4 weeks in New Zealand. It is her fourth number one overall achieving this with I Kissed a Girl in 2008. On September 5, 2010, "Teenage Dream" debuted on the UK Singles Chart at number two selling over 86,000 units in its debut week. It was kept off top spot by the release of Olly Murs' debut single "Please Don't Let Me Go." The following week it stayed at number two, before moving down to number three the following week. The song reached number one on the Scottish Singles Chart.[25] As of November 2011, the song had sold 4,003,000 digital copies in the United States.[26]

Music video

Background and concept

The music video for "Teenage Dream" was filmed in Santa Barbara, California, in July 2010, and was directed by Yoann Lemoine.[8] Perry planned the concept along with the songwriters during the sessions.[2] Pictures from the shoot feature Perry kneeling in the sand looking at a man (played by Josh Kloss[27]) wearing speedos, while others show her kissing the man in a hotel pool. She commented about the filming on her Twitter, saying, "That's a wrap for Teenage Dream! So gorgeous [...] In my hometown. I got to cast all my friends in the new music vid for Teenage Dream = amazing insanity."[8] The video features images of Perry in a car with a boyfriend, then, Perry is shown in a Party with her friends, and the closing scene shows Perry kissing her boyfriend under the water. Perry was interviewed online via YouTube, where she talked about the music video. She said: "It is gonna be completely different from 'California Gurls.' With 'Teenage Dream' you'll see a very raw, almost vulnerable [side] ... I had to wear so many less layers of makeup. I had to make out with a boy which was very traumatizing, I was kind of mean to him. I would be the one to call cut because I was like, 'oh I can't do this!' I feel so horrible. But I know it's a job. [Russell and I] understand what our work is."[28]

The video briefly gained notoriety in the D.I.Y. punk community, since one of the cast members wears a Zero Boys shirt.[29]

Release

A lyric video with pictures was uploaded to Perry's YouTube account on July 26, 2010.[30] A 30-second snippet was released on August 5, 2010.
