5 Underrated Songs From Katy Perry’s ‘Teenage Dream’

4. Not Like The Movies

In this track, Katy Perry explores uncertainty, nervousness and a collapsing relationship. She sings of the kind of love that just isn’t right, from the very beginning. Complete with witty imagery and strikingly simple writing, the singer captures the essence of relatability in a pop song. 

She sings: “I didn’t feel/ The fairytale feeling/ Am I a stupid girl/ For even dreaming that I could/ If it’s not like the movies/ That’s how it should be.” Take a ride of this gentle, stripped down pop ballad, and let those floodgates open.
