Katy Perry’s 2011 song The One That Got Away has re-entered the UK Official Singles Chart
Katy Perry is seeing renewed success as her 2011 hit The One That Got Away has re-entered the UK Official Singles Chart Top 40 more than a decade after its release.
The emotional track has found new life on TikTok where users have been using it in nostalgic videos reflecting on past relationships, memories, and life moments.
The trend has led to millions of clips featuring the song pushing it back into streaming and chart rankings.
Fans have helped drive the resurgence introducing the track to a younger audience who were not familiar with its original release. The renewed attention has also boosted interest in Perry’s wider catalogue.
Perry herself has joined in on the trend online by sharing posts and reacting to fan-made content linked to the song which has further amplified its comeback.
The track was originally released in 2011 on her Teenage Dream album and later issued as a single in 2012 where it peaked at number 18 in the UK charts at the time.
Its return comes amid renewed attention on Perry’s music more broadly including the performance of her recent compilation project The Ones That Got The Plays.
