In the context of Katy Perry’s cartoonish early hits, the “Teenage Dream” music video is downright stark. No pyrotechnic breasts, psychedelic candy landscapes, or glow-in-the-dark alien abductions: just Katy, her ripped beau, and some similarly photogenic pals on a sepia-toned drive along the beach. The track is similarly svelte and irresistible: a sunny, major-key melody that shares a lineage with Don Henley’s “Boys of Summer,” New Radicals’ “You Get What You Give,” and other pop hits that arrived pre-loaded with nostalgia and widescreen emotions.

和Katy Perry早期那些带有卡通色彩的热单相比，“Teenage Dream”的音乐录像带要直白多了。没有喷火的胸罩，没有迷幻的糖果世界，也没有在黑暗中发光的外星人——只有Katy她自己和追求她的肌肉帅哥，还有一些同样十分上镜的伙伴一起在海边兜风。这首歌清爽让人无法抗拒——开朗的大调旋律似乎与Don Henley的“Boys of Summer”、New Radicals的“You Get What You Give”等其他那些带着怀旧情怀和宽银幕情感的流行热单一脉相承。

At the time Perry recorded it, she was attempting to become more than a pop novelty. As if realizing her ambitions mid-sentence, she once explained in an interview, “I want people to… think of me as that pin-up poster in their room—or hopefully I can invade their dreams and be their teenage dream.” And just like that, her music turned bold and sweeping, owing more to the ’80s pop stars with whom she’d soon share chart milestones. Meanwhile, she was midway through her 20s, about to get married, and entering a decade where her propensity for unsubtle gestures of positivity would fall in and out of fashion. But as she gazed toward the camera from the passenger seat in this song’s video, she seemed to have it all figured out. –Sam Sodomsky

当Katy还在为这首歌录音的时候，她曾尝试过不让自己太过流行化。她曾在一次采访中解释道，好像自己在中途达到了自己设想：“我想人们去……把我想成他们贴在自己房间里的海报，或者更好的话，我能够进入到他们的梦中，成为他们的青春美梦（Teenage Dream）。”就像这样，她的音乐变得大胆而感人，汲取了很多八十年代流行巨星的灵感（她甚至和他们一同被记入进了流行音乐的历史中）。同时，她已经20过半，已经到了谈婚论嫁的年纪，而她要面对的下个十年，不稳定性会更多，她的积极性也将会时不时被冲淡。但是在这个MV中她将镜头视角放在了乘客座上，她似乎早就看明白一切了。–Sam Sodomsky
