Katy Perry — The One That Got Away

A 15-year-old cut from Teenage Dream has become the load-bearing pillar of Katy Perry's catalog, appearing on 79 country and platform charts today after a 40-day absence. The mid-tempo heartbreak ballad has crossed 1.6 billion Spotify streams, per the Daily Mail, riding a wave of TikTok nostalgia edits built around its Mustang-and-matching-tattoos imagery. Perry told Forbes the track is now the highest-rising hit of her career — a curious inversion, since her new single Watch It Burn has struggled while a decade-old song carries the moment. The May compilation The Ones That Got the Plays leaned into that resurgence. Its Diego Luna–starring video, filmed before Rogue One, remains part of the song's enduring pull.
