"Teenage Dream" is a song by American singer Katy Perry. It was released as the second single from her third studio album of the same name on July 23, 2010. Perry and Bonnie McKee wrote many songs with youthful themes in mind, but they were rejected by producers Benny Blanco and Dr. Luke. I whakaaturia e Blanco ki a raua te waiata "Homecoming" a The Teenagers, a ka whakaaro a McKee ko "Teenage Dream" he waiata whakahokinga ki nga kare a te aroha i a ia e tamariki ana. I tutaki raua ki a Max Martin i te taone o Perry o Santa Barbara, California, ka tiimata te tuhi i te Playback Recording Studio, i whakaahuatia e Perry i muri mai he wa mo ia. I muri i te tuhi o Perry i tana reo, i whakaatu a McKee i tana whakaaro me te waiata. I whakaahuatia ano e Perry te waiata hei whakamaumahara i tona taiohi i a ia e whakaaro ana ki tona heke mai i muri i te marena.
I whakaatu a McKee i tana whakaaro, ā, i tuhia anō te waiata
