halcyonday Posted June 16 Posted June 16 (edited) Katy Perry's sixth single from the album Teenage Dream became one of her biggest classics. The song has 1.2B streams on Spotify (og + acoustic combined) and is one of the favorite songs of the new generation of pop stars to cover. Usually it's the lead, the second or the third single that become classics, but Katy did that with her sixth single. How did she manage to achieve such an impressive feat with this song?

Fitzswiftie Posted June 16 Posted June 16 When a ballad is done right it ages like a fine wine. Katy got herself a 1962 Domaine de la Romanee-Conti with TOTGA. 2 1
DoubleRainbow! Posted June 16 Posted June 16 The GP prefers relatable / sad songs in the end, that's why everyone I know knows this classic 1
Doctor Dick Posted June 17 Posted June 17 When you have an album filled with smash hit material even your sixth single will become a classic. Just look at MJ and his album Bad. 1
georgechxng Posted June 17 Posted June 17 it's a timeless well crafted and beautiful written song about memories, mistakes, longing and love. it resonates with everyone. not surprised it survived the test of time 2
Lightbringer007 Posted June 17 Posted June 17 cause its one of her best songs, and it was one of the most career-defining hits of the decade too! 2
PopKills Posted June 17 Posted June 17 From the lyrics to the melody, production and vocals it's a perfectly mastered song that excels both as pop song AND ballad 1 1
Dekkan Posted June 17 Posted June 17 It's an incredible song with beautiful lyrics resonating with everyone. Given GP's choices sometimes, I'm almost shocked that it's appreciated the way it is. 2

umich Posted June 17 Posted June 17 Because she had already released 5 classics prior, so she released a sixth for a little razzle dazzle. 1
AxelFox Posted June 17 Posted June 17 It truly is a great song. I'm impressed and very pleased to see how well it has stood the taste of time and is still remembered to this day. The video was brilliant as well. It helped for sure. I wish thinking of you would see more of this type of appreciation too. That one is sadly quite underrated. 2
FailSafe Posted June 17 Posted June 17 The One That Got Away and Thinking Of You are my two absolute favorite Katy songs. Timeless classics 2
Acuminatus Posted June 17 Posted June 17 It's interesting how everyone seems to perform the acoustic slow version of the song. I guess it fits into the sad girl aesthetic. Also I love the MV, which reached a billion views on Youtube! 1
Gladiator Posted June 17 Posted June 17 The One That Got Away Hummingbird Heartbeat Teenage Dream Pearl Magnificent pop classics. 2
