Sebelum "Teenage Dream" dirilis sebagai track pembuka pada album kedua Katy Perry yang dirilis oleh Capitol pada 24 Agustus 2010 di North America dan 30 Agustus 2010 secara mendunia, "Teenage Dream" telah dirilis sebagai single resmi kedua pada 23 Juli 2010 dengan format digital download dan CD single oleh Capitol, dan nyatanya "Teenage Dream" yang beraliran pop, eclectropop dan pop rock, sampai saat ini mampu bertengger pada posisi 2 di U.S. Billboard Hot 100, kemungkinan untuk naik keposisi yang lebih tinggi, bisa saja memungkinkan untuk tejadi.
Katy Perry menulis lagu ini sekalian bernostalgia pada saat dia waktu remaja yang berangan-angan memiliki future husband seperti Russell Brand. Nyatanya, dalam video klip yang di direksi oleh Yoann Lemoine, Josh Kloss seorang model seksi asal Amerika menjadi pemeran Katy Perry interest lover, dan ada adegan dimana Katy Perry sedang kneeling di pasir sambil curi-curi pandang melihat Josh Kloss yang hanya dibalut speedo berwarna oranye. Untuk video klipnya sendiri telah di publikasikan pada 10 Agustus 2010 melalui MTv pada pukul 8 malam dan sudah lebih ditonton dari 10 juta orang di YouTube!

Lyrics:
You think I'm pretty
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the puch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down
Before you met me
I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
We drove to Cali
And got drunk on the beach
Got a motel and
Built a fort out of sheets
I finally found you
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
Let's go all the way tonight
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I might get your heart racing
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
Let you put your hands on me
In my skin-tight jeans
Be your teenage dream tonight
You make me
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
My heart stops
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
