Background and development

Prior to recording the album, Perry discussed with Rolling Stone regarding her plans for the album, stating that she did not want to "alienate" her fanbase:

“	The second record is really important to me because I think it shows whether I'm meant to do this, or I got lucky. Basically what I want to do is not alienate the audience that I have at all. I think some people feel like they have had success with one thing and one idea and one record and they want to pull a 180 and try a totally different thing, I definitely feel like that's the wrong move. I feel like you just have to grow from it, you can branch off of it but keep the tree the same in some ways. Some people get full of themselves, and they think that anything they do is going to work or turn to gold or be the right move, and the reason why you're here is because of the people that like your music and the fans, so you always should keep an ear open to what they're saying".	”
—Katy Perry

Perry added she would "definitely keep it pop. 'Love Fool' by the Cardigans meets 'Into the Groove' by Madonna but a little more meat on the bones lyrically. I'm not just gonna talk about the beat and just dancing, I like to get into the meaning."

Perry began recording the album on October 13, 2009 and wrote on twitter saying that there are "lots of layers to get through, thankfully Greg Wells is there to do the peeling." She worked with various artists, writers, and producers such as Greg Wells, Guy Sigsworth, Dr. Luke, Max Martin, Ryan Tedder, Rivers Cuomo, Thaddis "Kuk" Harrell, Greg Kurstin, Benny Blanco, Darkchild, Cathy Dennis, Ester Dean, The-Dream and Christopher "Tricky" Stewart. Perry wanted to work with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart because she loved Beyonce's "Single Ladies". She added on the comment saying "It has a great level of sass and fun. Everybody wants to sing that kinda anthem." Stewart commented on working with Perry during an interview with Rap-Up Magazine Rap-Up magazine in December 2009 saying, "It’s a different gear for me. This is a very important project for me ’cause people are waiting to see what I’m gonna do."

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."

Perry told MTV News about the process of the album and that she used her "gut":

"In the very beginning [of this album], I was telling the record executives, 'Listen, don't tell me when it's over, don't tell me when to turn it in, don't tell me when we're out of money. I'll let you know when my gut says 'Go.' Because I've always followed my intuition, and that's worked for me. I'm not going to overthink that, because it's always worked for me."

On March 27, 2010, at 2010 Kids' Choice Awards, Perry told MTV News 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". She has also stated that the album is inspired by ABBA and The Cardigans. According to Perry, she gave her producer Dr. Luke 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."

On March 27, 2010, at 2010 Kids' Choice Awards, Perry told MTV News that she commented on the album's progress saying, "It's so exciting. It's coming out this summer. It's a summer record." When she was asked what the sound and feel of the album would be like, she told them "It's what I said I wanted earlier, we nailed it. It's roller-skating. It's '90s. It's Ace of Base. It's Cyndi Lauper. It's like all these colors and more." She has also stated that the album is inspired by ABBA and The Cardigans. According to Perry, she gave her producer Dr. Luke 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."

Perry told MTV News that she wanted to work with producer, Calvin Harris, but it didn't fall through. "We tried to make it happen, but he got really famous so it didn't happen. But there might be some really cool guest appearances by some cool rappers from the West Coast," she added. "I mean, you'll just have to see, since I'm a California girl, you know. And then some best friends might be appearing. ... We'll see! It's going to be fun. It's going to be one of those records that is everybody's favorite guilty pleasure."

During another interview with Rolling Stone after her performance in the 2010 Movie Awards on June 8, 2010, Perry told them, ""Of course, with the music business being in trouble, EMI is thinking I'm gonna make a billion dollars in two months — or that's what they're hoping," Perry continued, "But as much as I want to play that Top 40 game, like the Ke$has, Rihannas and Gagas, I've gotta have more than just a club banger… I think people are wondering, 'What's she gonna say next? What story will she tell?' Not just, 'What's her next hit?'"

She went on to explain more about the album, "It may not be about periods, boys and shaving my legs. Fuck it, I don't even shave my legs anymore!" and the visual component is "going from Shirley Temple, Betty Boop to more of a Betty Paige, 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."

Katy Perry previewed songs from the album on June 14, 2010 in an exclusive beach-themed party in New York City. She performed songs like "Teenage Dream", "Peacock", and "Not Like the Movies". When MTV News asked for comments, Perry told them, "It's really exciting to do these little beach party, Katy Perry, Teenage Dream listening parties. It's funner — I love that word that doesn't exist — it's funner to do it in this environment, where it's just free and fun and there's a couple of drinks, people are eating, people are socializing, seeing people they haven't seen in a while. It looks like it's going to be a sleepless year," Perry continued. "It's gonna be really fun. I think we're going to do these type of things, especially for the fans. We're just starting to roll the record out, and it's all beginning again. Although I don't feel like I'm back. I feel like it's a continuum."

Before the official album title was released, the name of the album was thought to be "Summer Starts Now!" since Katy Perry has said the line during a press conference with the addition of several advertisements for the upcoming album included the phrase on it.

The last day of recording was on April 30, 2010 where Perry stated on her twitter and thanked Greg Wells, one of the producers. On May 5, 2010, Perry shot the album cover and sent it to Will Cotton, who she is a fan of and had worked with for the "California Gurls" video, to paint. Perry posted in her own website that she'd revealed the official album cover via live steam-video with Will Cotton, at the Will Cotton's Art Studio. On July 20, 2010 the album cover was revealed for the first time to the people who watched and to Katy Perry herself. She said the album was "art" and that everyone needs a little art in their lives. The album booklet will "stink with the smell of cotton candy" and the artwork wouldn't have any "Katy Perry" logos on it because she wanted to keep it the way it is, an art piece.

Style

When describing the songs on the album, Katy Perry said, "Some songs are pretty sweet, but when you hear the entire album, is quite appetizing. Not only wanted to make music for parties. The people living real lives, work, have relationships. There is a higher proportion and perspective on this album too. Circle the Drain 'is my' You Oughta Know 'by Alanis Morissette. I speak the word' fuck up 'about five times in music, but do not think it will shock people - you always say this when you need it."

The theme song of the album, "Teenage Dream", is considered an electronic ballad with composition quiet and romantic at the same time with sounds made by synthesizer music. "And it was in Santa Barbara that sparked my creativity. It was there that came all the feeling of euphoria in me. Everyone remembers their dreams of adolescence [...] all posters left in the wall of our bedroom, you know", said Perry to MTV News. According to Katy Perry, though "not have much substantive content", "Last Friday Night" conveys a good sense as "I Gotta Feeling of Black Eyed Peas" and was called a new version of "Waking Up in Vegas." "California Gurls" has been written as a response to "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys, and pays tribute to women, and beaches Lifestyle California state.The song follows the style electropop, containing sounds of synthesizers and some stretches helped by Auto-Tune, which turned it into a "beach theme song," said James Montgomery MTV. She had told Rolling Stone that she felt compelled to create a song about California when he saw some people from American West Coast singing the music of Jay-Z who does homage to New York, and because long ago they did not create something on the state Californian, mostly about the prospect of a girl. "We got some references to Prince, which is always a good reference. In addition, you must reference the house music of the 1990s," Perry said about the major influences of "California Gurls." "Firework" was inspired by the classic book by Jack Kerouac,On the Road , and the singer told the BBC that "the book he talks about how he wanted to be near people were buzzing, efevercendo and making people go like fireworks in the sky". In the song, Katy Perry motivates and inspires people not to be common to excel, and singer told MTV News that "[the song] is real, because he has a great beat, but also has a great message." "Firework" has a musical sequence with violins mixed with house music, and the voice of Katy Perry was called by Chris Ryan MTV Buzzworthy as "an inspirational diva vocals of house music" In "Peacock," Perry said he used puns that will awaken many perspectives on each person. The singer follows a style electro rock in "Circle the Drain," a song in which he criticized the ex-boyfriend and frontman Gym Class Heroes Travis McCoy. Perry commented that her song is like "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette, where she expresses all her feelings of anger and hurt. In "Circle the Drain," the singer vents about addiction remedies, therefore, did your ex-boyfriend to die gradually. In "Who Am I Living For?" Katy Perry expressed about their spirituality and faith, citing the biblical character in music, Esther as inspiration. "Hummingbird Heartbeat" was inspired by the singer's fiance, Russell Brand, which also inspired the song "ET" later. "Not Like the Movies" is a song played by piano music and unique style that follows the romantic ballad "Teenage Dream", the song is a novel that in reality are never equal to the love stories of the great productions film. Due to Music sound, MTV Buzzworthy compared to this song "My Immortal" from Evanescence and "Everytime" by Britney Spears.

Artwork

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. The official album cover was painted on canvas by Will Cotton and released on July 21 via live webstream, which shows Katy Perry naked lying on clouds of cotton candy. To preserve the artistic work of Cotton, the singer decided not to insert the title on the cover. As shown in an exclusive video launched by Perry, Cotton was also responsible for the photographs of the singer on the album sleeve.

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 how it is displayed if purchased digitally). The digipak is cotton candy scented, as indicated by a sticker placed on the wrapper of front cover (which also has the album's title). The booklet contained inside this version reproduces the album's front artwork, but omits the Parental Advisory warning, leaving absolutely no text. The explicit version is also offered in a standard jewel case, which has text printed on the booklet and is not cotton candy scented. 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. The cover with text is mainly used for releases outside of North America, and physical copies purchased in North America in jewel cases do contain text on the cover.

The Complete Confection featured limited edition lenticular artwork of both the original and new artwork on its initial release.

A special remix of "Teenage Dream" was rewarded to anyone who completes the album using this feature.

During the MTV Movie Awards in June 2010, Katy Perry and Snoop Dogg California honored with the presentation of California Gurls ", which exhibited the major cultural elements of the state. The California culture also influenced the presentation of the same song during her release in Europe, as in Germany's Next Topmodel 2010 and Le Grand Journal, two presentations in June. The scene inspired by Candyfornia was used in MuchMusic Video Awards 2010 and on The Graham Norton Show.

According to review aggregator Metacritic, Teenage Dream received an average of 53 out of 100 indicating mixed reviews from music critics, based on fourteen critiques.Allmusic said: "And, once again, the music feels familiar, so Perry distinguishes herself through desperate vulgarity, wooing a suitor with “you make me feel like I’m losing my virginity,” extolling the virtues of blackouts and an accidental ménage a trois, melting popsicles, pleading for a boy to show her his “Peacock” (chanting “cock cock cock” just in case we at home didn’t get the single entendre). All this stylized provocation is exhausting, and not just because there’s so much of it (none of it actually arousing). It’s tiring because, at her heart, Perry is old-fashioned and is invested in none of her aggressive teasing." Mikael Wood of Spin gave a mixed review and noted, "Teenage Dream won't disappoint parents looking for reasons to worry about their kids ... Perry delivers the gurl-gone-wild stuff with requisite sass, but she actually sounds more engaged on 'Not Like the Movies' and 'One That Got Away'". Leah Greenblatt wrote for Entertainment Weekly, "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". Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone commented "It sets the tone for Teenage Dream, Perry's album about Cali girls ... Throughout [the album] she chases an all-American teen-pop sound that's older than the Hollywood Hills". Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune gave a negative review to the album. He criticized the production, calling it a "Frankenstein-like", as well as the Perry's vocal production "(she sounds robotic, like a wind-up toy incapable of singing with any elegance or nuance)", and he noted at the end of his review "With music as rigidly formulaic as this, no wonder the teens in her songs want to party until they blank out". Slant Magazine said :"Perry's ironic persona—all gum-smacking, eye-rolling sarcasm—signals that those tracks are, if nothing else, shallow by design; it's the album's second half, when Perry dons her serious artist face, that Teenage Dream transcends its own middling crappiness and becomes truly, remarkably shitty. "Circle the Drain" finds Perry telling off a self-destructive ex, but she's almost less sympathetic than the pill-popping object of her scorn. Her put-downs are alternately pedantic ("Wanna be your lover, not your fucking mother") and hypocritical (she's offended that he takes drugs before foreplay, but wasn't she the one blacking out and hooking up "Last Friday Night"?). Tricky Stewart's "Who Am I Living For?" is a one-note wallow in self-pity, weighed down by clichéd lyrics, a leaden beat, and a tone-deaf vocal turn from Perry."

Furthermore, it officially impacted Rhythmic radio on October 11, 2011 and Hot/Modern/AC radio on October 31, 2011. On November 24, the single entered the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, making Teenage Dream one of only 7 albums in U.S. history to have 6 or more top 10 singles. On December 14, it became one in two albums to yield 6 top 4 songs, when it soared to #4. Like she did for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", Perry eventually released a remix in an attempt for the song to reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, which featured another rapper, B.o.B. On December 14, it became one in two albums to yield 6 top 4 songs, when it soared to #4, it later peaked at #3. A remix and an acoustic recording were also made available for purchase. In total, the song has sold an approximate 2 million worldwide.

Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection

A re-release was rumored for the album and was to be released sometime in 2011. Speculations for the re-release began when a fan messaged one of Katy Perry's producers asking about the release of the song "Dressing Up". The producer replied saying the song will be included in a re-issue of the album.

In October 2010, Rihanna stated that she and Katy have been talking a lot about possibly working together, she stated: "We want to get in the studio and make something......maybe for her re-release. But we want to do something together for sure". 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. I was like, 'Hell, yeah, of course'. She's my girl and the song is amazing. We'll be recording that together pretty soon".

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. They had a great time, and the single is amazing. He wishes Katy nothing but continued success and looks forward to working with her again soon”. Also in March 2011, when asked by More Magazine wether 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".

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 'Dressing 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".

In December 2011, German Amazon sites revealed a 2012 re-issue is on it's way. It will include all the re-released remixes of singles from the album era. In January 2012, it was revealed by Amazon and Best Buy that Teenage Dream will be re-released on March 13, 2012 under the title "Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection".^[2] It was later removed from both sites and put up again with a new release date; March 27, 2012. It was made available for pre-order on the US iTunes store on March 12, 2012. Regarding the reasoning for re-releasing the album Perry stated in a press-release:

“	This is the complete story of 'Teenage Dream'. It was an incredible honor to tie the King of Pop's Billboard Hot 100 record, but I'm moving forward and had a few things left to get off my chest. So this is the complete special edition of my album for my fans.	”
—Katy Perry

In February 2012, the cover art and details about Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection were revealed. It will contain the original album, plus 3 single remixes of "E.T." featuring American rapper Kanye West, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" featuring also rapper Missy Elliott, and the acoustic version of "The One That Got Away". The package will also contain three new songs that didn't make the original cut of Teenage Dream, plus a megamix of the six singles, made by Tommie Sunshine.^[3] The only two songs from the Teenage Dream-era that were left out the re-release were "Milk Milk Lemonade" and the B.o.B. remix of "The One That Got Away".

Perry told MTV.com in Los Angeles for details onto why she's releasing the album, "With Teenage Dream, the reasons why I wanted to put out this special edition, Complete Confection, is two major reasons for me: One, I'm doing it mostly for the hard-core fans because they always love all the extras, the second reason I wanted to do it is because it's my one last push, to push that person that is on the precipice of becoming a fan. They're thinking to themselves, 'I bought four or five singles, maybe I should actually complete my album and now I should really complete my album because I'm gonna get 19 songs for a really great price.' I think it's like a bargain and I'm doing it for my fans." She added that doesn't consider the re-release as a whole new album, "I'm really excited and I'm not putting it out there as, like, another album — you know how you find different artists do their version, like eight songs or something. I'm am ready to make a new record, and I will close the book on Teenage Dream soon, but [Complete Confection] just felt really organic."^[4]

Reviews from the re-release Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection received generally mixed reviews, with some reviews being the same as the previous release. Stephen Thomas Erlewine from Allmusic gave it 2-and-a-half out of five stars, the same as from the previous. He found that as from the previous album, shes wanting the "spotlight". But just found the album similar to the original.^[7] Melissa Maerz from Entertainment Weekly gave it a B- grade, saying "Still, much of the bonus material on Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection is already available, and the previously unreleased weepies 'Wide Awake' and 'Part of Me' are kind of a bummer."^[8]

I believe that when talent meets preparation meets opportunity, you can breed success. For the talent, I thank God and the unique DNA of my wonderful, hilarious family. For the preparation, I thank the brilliant people who have helped me grow musically and personally. We are a team and one to be damn proud of. Finally, for the opportunity...to meet you. YOU are fundamental to my existence, and I will never take that for granted. We will do great things together - you wait, watch & listen. I hope this record will help spark a firework in you to fulfill your dreams, no matter what the obstacles - your pure, true, teenage dreams. From my California cotton candy cloud, Love, the new & improved Katy Hudson-Perry-Brand.
