First listen .. not impressed

Really fun song but would have been more suited for a 16-year-old Disney pop star to sing about being or feeling like a teenager.

LYRICS:

"Teenage Dream"

You think I'm pretty without any makeup on
You think I'm funny when I tell the punchline wrong
I know you get me so I let me 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 & 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 floor 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 & 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

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

A teenager? have you even heard the song? it would make no sense at all

THAANK you.....

I dont say its a bad song.... just not what she is supposed to release.... just look at 'thinking of you'..... Im sorry to say it like this, but if you are known for your 'partyish' songs.... you stay to that....

Yeah, it's about the exhilaration of being (or, in her case, feeling) like a teenager as told through this romance she's having.

I was totally caught off guard, this is ****ing epic. A masterpiece, one of her best works.

WOW. I'm just amazed. Seriously

Lol, it's about a teenage dream finally coming true. I think the song is so sweet.

yeah i know what you mean, it's not a bad song at all, but it's not a 2nd single material, maybe 4th or 5th!!

Eh, I'm thinking more along the lines the love that she always dreamed of while she was a teenager has finally come to reality and has come true.

Her and Russell are too cute

YEAHHHH THIS SONG IS HOT!!! the perfect follow up to CG

This is amazingggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggg ggg

Smash. I ****ing LOVE it.

She has the right to release what she wants to release, she doesn't have to conform to your expectations just because her first ballad flopped. Besides, this is something I could dance to, once i'm drunk

I like it

But: California Gurls >>>>>>>>>>>>>>Teenage Dream

I thought she said it was about having a love that made her feel like a teenager again (ie, that first love/crush).

It depends on how each person translates it i suppose, but to me the song is about an adult about feeling like a teenager again, in love. It wouldn't work for a teenager.

Maybe, either way though, that's not really what I get from the song.

I love it.

So how would it make sense that a 16 year old should be releasing this song?
