Definitely one of her strongest vocals to date and considering this is a power ballad, Katy really sells it here giving her performance some real texture and some real elegant production going on here and out of the 3 new tracks on the 'TD' re-release, this is definitely the best one and ends the entire era on a positive high note. So yeah I really like this song and about 20 times better than 'POM', but do feel that this also seems rather forgotten through the past couple of years, despite being a decent sized hit.

Beautiful song and well written, holds up well.

Am I right in thinking this actually outsold 'Part Of Me' in the end? Much deserved if so.

This should have been no.1 on both sides of the Atlantic!

One of her masterpieces. It's great that Teenage Dream started with two ikonek masterpiece of pop/ video and ended with one, too.

A really good way to close the Teenage Dream story and a beautiful song with one of her best videos.
