New Song: Katy Perry – ‘Teenage Dream’

Published: Thursday 22nd Jul 2010 by Trent

The title track from Katy Perry’s new album, ‘Teenage Dream’, has surfaced. The song serves as the 2nd single from the album which will arrive in stores on August 24th. Give the song a listen below (via Punch Bow Blog):

Another fun song from Perry. Given the massive success of ‘California Gurls’ which spent 6 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, there is not doubt that this upbeat track is a worthy followup. However, I would be lying if I said that the artistic and vocal brilliance of her ‘Thinking of You’ is not sorely missed.

Hit or Miss?

  2. Nothing But My Opinion July 22, 2010

    its ok…

  3. BENJAMIN July 22, 2010

    Sounds decent, it will definately grow on me. Another catchy pop tune that will sell. Katy definately isn’t the perfect artist, but she has spunk and a hot look. On a side note, this would have been a better album cover.

  4. BENJAMIN July 22, 2010

    Also, “Thinking of You” didn’t really stand out to me, however, “Waking Up In Vegas” was highly underrated.

  5. True Blue July 22, 2010

    It’s a fun song, I like it. Much better than California Gurls.

  6. BLACk July 22, 2010

  7. TOMI July 22, 2010

  8. TOMI July 22, 2010

    Why didn’t they use this for her album cover

  9. perry July 22, 2010

    It’s pretty good. Definitely a grower.

  10. rob July 22, 2010

    i love her

  11. MUSIC LOVER July 22, 2010

    This won’t be as successful as “California Girls.” I personally like E.T. (Futuristic Lover) better. It would have served as a better second single.

  12. Lewis92 July 22, 2010

    LOOOOOOOOVE IT!!! LOVE HER! 🙂

  13. Baron July 22, 2010

    I’m feelin’ it. I actually like Katy Perry. She has her own vibe.

  14. rob July 22, 2010

    i think the vocals are still impressive on this ,thinking of you wasnt a stand out to me

  15. jojo July 22, 2010

    i like it

  16. ADE July 22, 2010

    I quite like this, it’s much better than California Gurls. Thinking of you was horrible, I hated that song

  17. Aryo July 22, 2010

    It’s a way bedder than California whores!

  18. Joseph July 23, 2010

    I Like it, katy perry isnt the most AMAZING artist, but she does what she does VERY well. She’s definitly talented and she owns her image. She knows who she is and thats what I respect

  19. Hazel July 23, 2010

    Another #1

  20. Angelo July 23, 2010

    I love this song. Katy Perry has a gift and is very creative. IMO, it’s a good song to chill to on a cool day.

  21. DIVAZZ July 23, 2010

    WOW! I LOVE THIS SONG AND I LOVE KATY!! I HOPE THIS GET’S TO #1! I REALLY HOPE THIS DOES BETTER THAN CALIFORNIA GURLS!WITH MY FINGERS CROSSED-I AM GOING TO GET TEENAGE DREAM WHEN IT COMES OUT! AND I AM DOWNLOADING THIS SONG!

  22. DIVAZZ July 23, 2010

    I LOVE THE COTTON CANDY CLOUD PAINTING ALBUM COVER OF KATY FOR “TEENAGE DREAM” IT’S ART AND SHE SAID IT WILL SMELL LIKE COTTON CANDY TOO! I HAVE TO GO GET THIS ALBUM IN STORES WHEN IT RELEASES!

  23. DIVAZZ July 23, 2010

    THE PAINTING IS BY WILL COTTON! I ALSO LOVE WILL!!!!

  24. DizzyGuy1985 July 23, 2010

    Love this song! Really catchy!!!!

  25. number1k9 July 23, 2010

    This to me is more authentic Katy Perry.

    I hear hear Pop Rock/Pop (slight Dance Pop, see “Hot N Cold”) roots! Which I like, and thought was kinda weird that
    NOBODY
    picked up on that regarding “California Gurls.” Everybody wanted to say Christina Aguilera went ElectroPop and copied the trend, but Katy did the same thing on “California Gurls.”

    @ ARYO -LMFAO @ California Whores

    ANYWHO = I do like this song, and to the person who said it would be a cool chill summer song, I agree.

    TO KATY PERRY: she said she was going to give us 90s Dance music/Ace Of Base/Roller Skating music, I’ve yet to really hear that sound!

    @MUSIC LOVER -NO WAY “E.T. (F. L.)” was not a good song to me, rather annoying, I hope it DOESN’T make the album! I say this single will be a Top 5 single, wouldn’t be surprised if it stalled at number 3 like “Hot N Cold.”

    @number1k9

  26. TheBaddestBitch July 23, 2010

    It’ so unoriginal, bland & s***..damn, when artists will bring the creativity back?

  27. DIVAZZ July 23, 2010

    @THEBADDESTBITCH IT’S NOT!! YOU SEEM TO LIKE CHRISTINA AND LIKE SHE SAID “AND IF YOU DON’T LIKE IT F*** YOU” WE ALL LOVE KATY PERRY AND I KNOW THIS WILL BE A HIT JUST LIKE “CALIFORNIA GURLS” AND SHE IS BRING THE CREATIVITY BACK WITH TEENAGE DREAM “CALIFORNIA GURLS” IS BASED ON A FAMOUS PAINTER BY THE NAME OF WILL COTTON! WHO DID MANY OF THE PAINTING INSPIRED BY CALIFORNIA GURLS! LIKE THE COTTON CANDY CLOUD AND THE ALBUM COVER IS A PAINTING BY WILL COTTON ALSO! HE PAINTED A PICTURE OF HER IN A COTTON CANDY CLOUD LIKE THE ONE ON CALIFORNIA GURLS AND SHE IS USING IT AS HER ALBUM COVER! “TEENAGE DREAM” WILL BE THE BEST ALBUM OF 10 JUST LIKE “CALIFORNIA GURLS” IS THE BEST VIDEO OF 2010 BECAUSE OF IT’ ARTISTIC BRILLIANCE AND IT’S THE BEST SUMMER SONG OF 2010 I HOPE THIS IS A #1 HIT JUST LIKE “I KISSED A GIRL” OR “HOT N COLD” AND “CALIFORNIA GURLS”!!!!!!

  28. TheBaddestBitch July 23, 2010

    @ Divazz

    Girl, chile…i already knew all you said but when i talked about the lack ofcreativity, i was talking about about why this topic has been made: THE SONG.

  29. Soulful Roses July 23, 2010

    I’m in the minority. Not feeling it..

  30. TheBaddestBitch July 23, 2010

    And sorry to burst your bubble but this song has not the potential to be a #1 record.

    Top 10 for sure…maybe #3 or #4…but not number one.

    It”s so lame…i don’t understand how anyone can appreciate crap like this but whatever…to each is own.

  31. Curtis July 23, 2010

    I love it.

  32. rick July 23, 2010

    this song screams dance-pop/electropop. saying this, it will most likely hit #1 in the US

  33. KATY 4EVER July 23, 2010

    @THEBADDESTBITCH SHUT THE F*** UP!!! YOU CALLING THIS CRAP BUT YOU LISTEN TO NOT MYSELF TONIGHT???? THAT SONG WAS A MAJOR FLOP!! AND IT WAS CRAP! THE VIDEO WAS GREAT BUT SONG WAS CRAP AS YOU SAY! THIS IS TRUE ART,KATY IS DOING HER THING! AND SHE IS DOING IT WELL “CALIFORNIA GURLS” IS THE BEST SONG OF THIS SUMMER BY FAR #1 ON THE RADIO AND ON THE POP SONGS CHARTS NOT TO MENTION #1 ON THE HOT 100 FOR 6 WEEKS AND IT WAS #1 ON THE DIGITAL CHARTS! I WILL PROB BE #1 ON THE HOT 100 AGAIN AND IT WILL PROB BE #1 ON THE DIGITAL AND CLUB SONGS! ALL HAIL QUEEN KATY! KATY 4EVER! KATY ROCKS!

  34. KATY 4EVER July 23, 2010

    I ALSO LOVE HER SONG E.T {FUTURISTIC LOVE}! IT IS AWESOME! KATY PERRY 4EVER! KATY RULES!

  35. Anonymous July 23, 2010

    Well I think Katy Perry has personified pop for this whole summer. I mean who else has stepped up? I’m usually more of an R&B type but I’m seriously considering buying her album. This song is hot!

  36. SunDee July 23, 2010

    I’m not feeling this song. E.T. & CG are better. IMO
    the intro very Clarkson’s MLWSWY. & after that not tho’

  37. mishka July 23, 2010

    It’s okay but sounds “déjà vu”

  38. GangsterA July 23, 2010

    Great song i love it way better than calfornia and her vocal is amazing

  39. Kevin July 23, 2010

    I’ve never really liked her music. I liked Cali Gurlz, only bc it wasso bubblegum pop that its universally catchy..Similar with this!

    I hatedhot n’ cold, waking up in vegas etc. though.

    sure as hell not buying the album.

  40. Yusuf Mallick July 23, 2010

    Amazing Tune. Love Katy Perry!

  41. tom July 23, 2010

    it starts of a little bad but the further you go into the song the more you start to like it

  42. Opal Shanice August 14, 2010

    That photo of Katy with the purple/blue hair should have been the cover artwork of the CD. It’s more futuristic and original. Why they chose Will Cotton’s art is beyond me. Besides it would distinguish itself from the Katy with the same bland dark hair on the One of the Boys cover artwork. I don’t know but whatever!

  43. dory August 17, 2010

    I agree with sundee! i was like isnt this the intro of another song? i mean if u suddenly hear it on a radio u will surely think of that song! but then it isn’t. is it really no other intro this big2 people can produce?: the verse is ok, but the chorus..omg..almost the same with california girls..and it hurts my heart thinking why it sounded the same..at least put a lil twist in it.. i thought TD is the part 2 of CG! lol. no offense. i like Thinking of you for slower KP, and hot & cold for catchy KP. those work the best.

    just work on the chorus part all over again then it’ll be okay.

  44. macayla August 31, 2010

    katy you are one of my fave singers.:) can someone please give me the lyrice to Teenage Dream.plz

  45. BUNNYBOO September 10, 2010

    I love this song. My faves by her are: California Gurls, Teenage Dream, Wakin’ up in Vegas, I kissed a Girl and Hot n Cold.
