inspired by singer Josh Groban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The revelation came years after the song was released and after fans had speculated about several other former relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the identity of the person behind the song is only part of why it has endured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d is essentially about imagining the life you might have had with someone if circumstances had turned out differently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It isn&#8217;t simply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I miss my ex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if that relationship was supposed to become my life?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That question has helped turn a 2011 single into one of 2026&#8217;s biggest music revivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TikTok named \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d its Global Song of the Summer 2026 after the track soundtracked millions of videos and returned to charts around the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who was \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perry revealed in 2017 that the song was about Josh Groban.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two had been romantically linked years earlier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Groban later reacted with surprise, joking that he hadn&#8217;t realised he was the subject of such a famous heartbreak song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes the record slightly different from the dramatic fictional relationship portrayed in the music video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Songs don&#8217;t need to be literal documentaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Writers take an emotion, exaggerate it, rearrange events and build a story around it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The real relationship provides the spark.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The song becomes something much bigger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What does \u201cthe one that got away\u201d actually mean?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The phrase existed long before Katy Perry used it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe one that got away\u201d describes someone you once loved or could have loved but lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually there&#8217;s an implication that you still wonder:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if we&#8217;d stayed together?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if we&#8217;d met at another time?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if I hadn&#8217;t made that decision?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What if we&#8217;d tried harder?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The person can become idealised precisely because the relationship never reached its natural conclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reality never had the opportunity to ruin the fantasy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why does the song mention Johnny Cash and June Carter?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perry uses Johnny Cash and June Carter as a romantic reference point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their relationship has become one of music&#8217;s most famous love stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the song, the comparison represents the kind of lifelong musical partnership the narrator imagined having.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That&#8217;s what makes the breakup hurt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She&#8217;s not simply remembering dates and kisses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">She&#8217;s mourning an entire imagined future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d a sad song?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Absolutely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the production disguises it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The record is bright, polished pop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can easily sing along without paying much attention to what is actually happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Underneath, it&#8217;s devastating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The narrator imagines growing old with somebody who is no longer part of her life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That combination of upbeat music and deeply nostalgic lyrics is probably one reason the song works so well in short-form video.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It can soundtrack both:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">funny nostalgia<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">genuine heartbreak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why is \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d popular again in 2026?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TikTok is the biggest reason.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The track became attached to videos about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">old friendships<br>former relationships<br>childhood memories<br>TV characters<br>celebrities<br>places people miss<br>different periods of someone&#8217;s life<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">TikTok says it became its global Song of the Summer 2026, with the resurgence introducing the track to a new generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Perry&#8217;s Lifetimes Tour and subsequent concert film also gave the song renewed visibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The important thing is that the trend fits the song perfectly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People aren&#8217;t using an old song randomly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re using a song about remembering something lost to remember things they&#8217;ve lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why are old Katy Perry songs becoming huge again?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There&#8217;s a broader nostalgia cycle happening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Teenage Dream was released in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means children who heard those songs growing up are now adults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, teenagers discovering them through TikTok don&#8217;t necessarily think of the songs as \u201cold\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Streaming has flattened music history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A song from 2010 and a song released yesterday sit beside each other on the same screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listeners care much less about release dates than radio programmers once did.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If a song connects, it connects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What other songs have the same feeling?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you love \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d, try:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Taylor Swift \u2013 Back to December<br>Adele \u2013 Someone Like You<br>Lord Huron \u2013 The Night We Met<br>Coldplay \u2013 The Scientist<br>Bruno Mars \u2013 When I Was Your Man<br>The 1975 \u2013 Somebody Else<br>Gracie Abrams \u2013 I Love You, I\u2019m Sorry<br>Olivia Rodrigo \u2013 drivers license<br>Joji \u2013 Glimpse of Us<br>Carly Rae Jepsen \u2013 Your Type<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They&#8217;re all different musically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But each deals with some version of wanting a past relationship that no longer exists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the song really about?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Regret.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But specifically the kind of regret that can never be tested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You don&#8217;t know whether the relationship would actually have lasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You simply know that it didn&#8217;t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And that leaves enough empty space for your imagination to create the perfect version of what might have happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes the hardest relationship to get over is the one you never got the chance to finish.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Katy Perry has said that \u201cThe One That Got Away\u201d was
