"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's 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, 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. "Teenage Dream" is a mid-tempo pop song with a retro sound. Perry starts singing in a high voice and her vocals grow stronger as the song progresses. Lyrically it talks about being with a lover that makes one feel young again. The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, some praising its nature and sound, but with others dismissing its lyrics as "too carefree and immature". "Teenage Dream" has topped the charts in United States, New Zealand and Ireland as well reaching the top-ten in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom, and has charted in Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands. A music video for the single, filmed in various locations of Santa Barbara, premiered on August 10, 2010. Katy Perry herself presented the song live for the first time in July 2010 in MTV World Stage 2010: Malaysia at the Sunway Lagoon Resort, Kuala Lumpur which was attended by over 15,000 fans from all over Asia, as well as Singapore's Singfest 2010 Concert. Perry performed the song at the 2010 Teen Choice Awards. The song became Katy Perry's third number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and her second consecutive number-one single. The song was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The song was her third time being nominated for the category. Rolling Stone magazine lists this as the fourth best song of 2010.
