Teenage Dream is the third studio album by American recording artist Katy Perry. It was released on August 24, 2010, in both standard and deluxe edition through Capitol Records. On top of co-writing every song on the album, Perry worked with a multitude of producers and writers, including Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Benny Blanco, Tricky Stewart, Stargate, Ryan Tedder, Greg Kurstin, Ester Dean, and The-Dream.
The music of Teenage Dream is derived from a wide variety of pop and rock genres, while heavily incorporating different musical styles not heard on her previous releases; disco and electronic music are examples. It also encompasses a broad variety of other genres, such as funk, house, gothic rock, Hi-NRG, and hip hop. The lyrical content of the album mainly focuses of the ups and downs of teenage love, partying, self empowerment, and personal growth. The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics; with many complimenting the production and the theme of the album, while some denounced the lyrical content. Teenage Dream and its singles have received multiple awards and nominations at the 53rd and 54th Grammy Awards, as well as winning International Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2011.
In the United States, Teenage Dream debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 192,000 copies in its first week. It was later certified two times platinum by the RIAA; selling more than 2 million copies in the United States. The album has sold more than 5.5 million copies worldwide. Six of the album's eight singles ? "California Gurls", "Teenage Dream", "Firework", "E.T.", "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", and "Part of Me" ? went on to reach number one on the US Billboard Hot 100. The other two singles ? "The One That Got Away" and "Wide Awake" ? peaked at numbers three and two, respectively on Billboard Hot 100 chart. Teenage Dream is only the second album in history to have five number ones from one album (after Michael Jackson's Bad) to do so, the first by a female to achieve this milestone, and the third album in history to produce seven top five hits. All eight of the aforementioned singles have sold over two million digital downloads each in the U.S., thus setting a new record in the digital era for the most multi-platinum singles from one album, breaking the previous record of Fergie with her album The Dutchess (five multi-platinum songs).[1]
Prior to recording Teenage Dream, Perry discussed with Rolling Stone her plans for the album, stating that she would "definitely keep it pop", in order to not "alienate" her fanbase.[2] Perry began recording the album on October 13, 2009, stating that she had "lots of layers to get through, thankfully Greg Wells is there to do the peeling". Work on the album involved collaborating with numerous artists and producers including Wells,[3] Guy Sigsworth,[3] Dr. Luke,[3] Max Martin,[3][4] Ryan Tedder,[5] Rivers Cuomo,[4] Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell,[6] Greg Kurstin, Benny Blanco, Darkchild, Cathy Dennis, Ester Dean, The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart, who told Rap-Up magazine in December 2009 that the sound of the album would be pop and rock, like One of the Boys, though calling it a "different gear" for himself.[7]
As for the visual component, Perry likens it to "going from Shirley Temple, Betty Boop to more of a Betty Paige [sic], pop art-sarcastic-fun-Lichtenstein picture: still bright, but the colors are more saturated, and it's more metallic fuchsia or purple than bubblegum pink."[8]
On March 27, 2010, at 2010 Kids' Choice Awards, Perry told Jose Ordonez that she considered the album "a summer record". She added that her previous teases about the album still fit, saying "it's what I said I wanted earlier".[4] She has also stated that the album is inspired by ABBA and The Cardigans. According to Perry, she gave her producer Dr. Ricardo a mixtape of songs by the two groups in order to demonstrate how she wanted her next record to sound. Perry described the album as "more groove-driven". She added, "When I went on tour, as much as I love all the in-between songs, I felt I was missing some of the stuff that made people bounce up and down."[9]
During a Rolling Stone photo shoot in April 2010, Perry revealed details about what would prove to be the album's lead single, "California Gurls". Allegedly a response to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys's "Empire State of Mind", she stated "everyone has the New York song, but what the fuck? What about LA? What about California?", adding that the song also took its inspiration from Prince.[10] The song features California rapper Snoop Dogg.[11] USA Today gave the song a positive review, calling it "an effervescent toast to summer fun".[11] Perry also claimed that working with producers Max Martin and Dr. Luke was "a wonderful collaborative effort".[10]
Recording for the album finished on April 30, 2010. The album cover is a painting by Will Cotton, and was premiered on July 21, 2010[12] via a live webstream with Cotton, at his Art Studio.[13] On July 23, 2010, the album's official track listing was posted on Perry's official website.[14]
For the recording of Teenage Dream, Perry had recorded at a multitude of recording studios such as Playback Recording Studio, Roc the Mic Studios, Conway Recording Studios, Rocket Carousel Studio, Studio at the Palms, Triangle Sound Studios, Silent Sound Studios, The Boom Boom Boom, Henson Recording Studios, Capitol Studios, Nightbird Recording Studios, and Eightysevenfourteen Studios.[15]
The music of Teenage Dream is derived from a wide variety of rock and pop genres, while heavily incorporating different musical styles not heard on her previous releases; disco and electronic music are examples.[16] Musically, Teenage Dream is considered to be a departure from Perry's previous album, One of the Boys (2008), which was pop rock and soft rock driven. The album features a very wide range of rock music sub-genres, which include disco-rock,[17] glam metal,[18] indie rock,[19] pop rock,[20] hard rock,[21] electro rock,[22] rock,[23] and goth rock.[24]
"Some of the stuff...is a bit sugary sweet but when you listen to the record head to toe I think it's completely appetizing. I didn't want to have just club songs. People are living real lives, working jobs, having relationships. There's definitely a bit more substance and perspective on this record."
The album opens with the title track "Teenage Dream", and is written as a throwback record to Perry's teenage years.[26] It is a power pop and electropop song which features a "distinct retro sound",[27][28][29] and contains influences of disco, pop rock, and industrial music.[20][30][31] The song has been compared to several disco artists, including Madonna and The Cardigans.[32] The following song, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" recalls a true experience that Perry had while partying in Santa Barbara which included streaking in a park, dancing on tables, and partying at a club.[33] Musically, the song is styled in the genres of disco, indie rock, and Hi-NRG,[19][34][35] while also taking influence from dance-pop.[36] The third song on the album, "California Gurls", continues the "retro sound" carried from "Teenage Dream", and is written as an answer song to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, and pays tribute to the beach lifestyle of California.[27][37] The song utilizes the genres of disco, funk-pop, and electronic music,[17][18][38] while bearing influence of New Wave music and electropop within its composition.[18][31][39] Written in tribute to The Beach Boys, the song has been compared to their song "September Gurls", as well as the group Flanger.[31]
The fourth cut from the album is the self-empowerment song "Firework". Written in a disco-rock style which runs over the backing track, consisting of a mix of violins and house music.[17][40][41] The song has generated comparisons to artists such as Coldplay and Leona Lewis.[32][42] According to Perry, the song was inspired by Jack Kerouac's novel On the Road, and she has said on many occasions that it is her favourite song from the album.[43][44]
The next song, "Peacock", is an uptempo dance-pop song with a house music beat, and intertwines elements of cheerleader-rock.[17][45] Lyrically, the track contains a double entendre with suggestive wording, multiple puns, and a "cock, cock, cock" hook. Critics compared the song to the 1982 hit "Mickey" and the Gwen Stefani song "Hollaback Girl".[46] Perry has stated that she wrote the song with the intent of it becoming a "gay pride anthem".[47] The sixth cut is "Circle the Drain", a rant song where Perry tells off her self-destructive drug-addicted ex-boyfriend, Gym Class Heroes frontman Travie McCoy.[48] Perry herself described the song as her "You Oughtta Know" moment.[49] Musically, it is a "menacing" dark and deep electronic rock song,[50][51] influenced by disco-rock, goth rock, and techno goth.[17][24][52] The next song from Teenage Dream is "The One That Got Away", which is a rock and teen pop ballad.[53] Perry stated that "...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."[54] The following song, "ET", is an electronic and hip hop ballad about "falling in love with a foreigner".[55] The decision to write "E.T." came after its beats were accidentally played when Perry had a recording session together with Gottwald, Martin and Ammo. The song was originally intended for American hip hop group Three?6?Mafia.[56][49] However, after hearing it, Perry chose to work with the track.[56] It also features influence from rave and hard rock.[21][57]
"Teenage Dream" was released on August 24, 2010, in the United States[58] as a digital download on iTunes, and as a physical release by Capitol Records.[59] Worldwide, the album was released on August 30, 2010 and distributed by EMI.[60] A deluxe version was made available on August 27, 2010 in the US, and consists of two CDs with the twelve original tracks, plus two tracks from 2009 on which Perry had appeared as a featured artist ? 3OH!3's "Starstrukk" and Timbaland's "If We Ever Meet Again".[61] The deluxe version also includes remixes of "California Gurls" and "Teenage Dream".
The covers of the first two singles were photographed by Emma Summerton in April 2010, and three other pictures taken by the artist were released to promote the album in July.[62] The official album cover, which shows Perry lying naked on clouds of cotton candy, was painted on canvas by Will Cotton and released on July 21 via live webstream.[63]
In North America, the album was packaged in several different ways. The explicit version of the album is available in a three-panel (six-sided) digipak, which has no text on the cover, aside from the Parental Advisory warning. This is also how the album is displayed if purchased digitally. The booklet contained inside this version reproduces the album's front artwork, without any labels or text. The explicit version is also offered in a standard jewel case, which has text printed on the booklet. The clean version of the album has the same options available, but the digipak editions of this version were released in limited numbers, and it is more common to find it in the standard jewel case packaging.[citation needed] The cover with text is mainly used for releases outside of North America, while international deluxe editions are available in the digipak, with a bonus disc included. A limited number of the albums are scented like cotton candy indicated by a sticker on the cover.
Artwork based on the album were also used by EA Games for the limited edition of the expansion pack "The Sims 3: Showtime" from the The Sims game franchise. It was released on March 6, 2012.[64]
The Complete Confection features lenticular artwork of both the original and new artwork on its initial release.[65]

According to review aggregator Metacritic, Teenage Dream received an average score of 52 out of 100, based on nineteen reviews, indicating mixed or average opinions from music critics.[73]
Teenage Dream fared slightly better than Perry's previous album, One of the Boys, which had received a score of 47.[74] Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic was critical of the album, describing it as "desperate vulgarity" and "tiring."[67] Mikael Wood of Spin gave a mixed review, noting that the album "won't disappoint parents looking for reasons to worry about their kids".[52] Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone described the album as "heavy on Eighties beats, light on melody, taking a long dip into the Daft Punk filter-disco house sound."[16] Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune gave a negative review to the album. He criticized the production, calling it "Frankenstein-like", as well as calling Perry's vocals "robotic" and lacking "any elegance or nuance".[24] Matthew Cole of Slant Magazine called it "over-produced bad-girl debauchery," claiming that Perry has "found a way to lower the bar."[32]
However, Los Angeles Times gave it three stars, saying, "On 'Teenage Dream,' the songs alternate between weekend-bender celebrations of hedonism and self-help-style affirmations encouraging listeners to get an emotional makeover. Either way, acquisition is the goal: of a great love, a happy hangover, a perfect pair of Daisy Dukes". Leah Greenblatt, writing for Entertainment Weekly, stated, "beneath the fruity outfits and fart jokes, Perry is clearly serious about the business of hit songcraft; that doesn't make Dream nearly cohesive as an album, but it does provide, intermittently, exactly the kind of high-fructose rush she's aiming for."[69]
Despite the mixed reviews, the album managed to win International Album of the Year at the Juno Awards of 2011. Teenage Dream and its singles earned Perry six Grammy Award nominations, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year.

But we want to do something together for sure".[128] In November 2010, Rihanna shed some further light on the duet, stating: "[Katy] sent me a song a while ago and she wanted me to be a part of it.

In March 2011, Dr. Luke's representative confirmed that Luke was finishing up a new single with Perry; he stated: "They just put the finishing touches on Katy's newest [upcoming] single, which they created together in February 2011.

He wishes Katy nothing but continued success and looks forward to working with her again soon".[130] Also in March 2011, when asked by More Magazine whether she would record a feline-inspired song, Perry replied: "I have a lot of those on the album already. I do have a song coming out in a few months that has a couple of cat references, but I think that's a little too saucy to talk about. I like to leave things a mystery".[131]
In October 2011, Tricky Stewart told MTV that he is back in the studio with Perry working on leftovers from their Teenage Dream sessions. He stated: "Katy and I went into [the studio] just to address some issues with [the] records that we had done in the past that didn't end up going on Teenage Dream, so we are in the process of just listening and freshening up things and getting ready for something special she has going on", hinting that Teenage Dream would have a re-release. Stewart also added: "We always knew that the records we created were special [and] at the time it was more contractual obligation [that they did not make the album], I can only have so many songs produced by me on the album, and she honestly didn't need any more records, as you can tell by the success of this album, the songs have been flawless." Stewart said that one of the songs is titled "Dressin' Up"; he said: "This song is really special. It's called 'Dressin' Up,' so it's going to be a big record, I think, it definitely fits. It's right there in what her sensibilities are as a musician and a songwriter. She doesn't change much. She has a very keen musical taste. It'll be really good".[132][133]
In January 2012, it was revealed by Amazon, Best Buy, and Billboard that Teenage Dream will be re-released on March 26, 2012 under the title Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.[134]

Teenage Dream tied or broke a multitude of records throughout its run. Some of which included being one of only three albums to have six or more top-five singles from one album on Billboard Hot 100 chart (tied with Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814 and George Michael's Faith), and the only album ever to have 7 songs top the Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart, breaking the previous record set by Beyonc?'s I Am...Sasha Fierce and Kristine W's The Power of Music, both with six songs.[237][238][239][240]
Perry had also scored five number ones from Teenage Dream, making her the second artist in the chart's 53 year history to amass five number-one singles from one album over its first release after Michael Jackson achieved the feat with his album Bad, and the first female in history to achieve this milestone.[241][242] Those 5 songs led Perry to spend a total of 19 weeks atop the chart. With the release of "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)" remix the following week, the song climbed one spot becoming Teenage Dream's 5th number one single.
Five singles from Teenage Dream have topped the Adult Top 40 chart and all six have topped Mainstream Top 40 chart, both more than any other album in each respective chart's history. Additionally, with 7 chart-toppers from "Waking Up in Vegas", Perry broke the record for the longest streak of number ones on the Mainstream Top 40 set by Lady Gaga's first six singles.[243] The singles also allowed Perry to have an unprecedented 69-week long streak in the Hot 100's top-ten, as well as a 71-week top-ten streak on the Airplay chart.[244] Perry also has the most number-one singles (four) from one album to top the Canadian Hot 100.
All the songs have sold a total of over 35 million copies worldwide aside from the album.[245] Also, the first five singles from the album topped the charts in the United States and attained top-ten positions in more than twenty countries. All five singles also topped the Digital and Airplay charts, making her the first artist ever to have five number-one singles in the Airplay chart.[246] Perry is the only artist to spend over 52 consecutive weeks in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100, and has since heightened this to 69 weeks, with the first five singles from album, breaking the previous record by Ace of Base of 48 weeks with three singles.[247]
On Mainstream Top 40 holds the unique record of the artist chart history to have four songs from same album in the top five of "Most weekly plays"; 1. "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" (12,468), 2. "E.T." (12,361), 3. "California Gurls" (12,159), and 5. "Firework" (11,857).[248] In all of the songs that were number one on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 were a total of 28 weeks atop the chart.
With the first single from re-release, "Part of Me", the song was the twentieth song to debut at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, making her the artist with the most number ones (6) in the 2010s, tied with Rihanna. With the second and final single from re-realese, "Wide Awake", the song was the tenth number one consecutive on Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs chart since her single "Waking Up in Vegas" from One of the Boys (tied with Jennifer Lopez for the longest streak of number-one singles) and its eighth consecutive top three on Billboard Hot 100 chart since her single "California Gurls". The song is her ninth number-one single on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 (Pop Songs), tying her with Rihanna as the artists with the most number one singles on the chart. The song is her seven number-one single on the Billboard Adult Top 40, setting a new record in the chart.
