Teenage Dream track listing

"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry. The song was produced by Lukasz Gottwald and Max Martin, who also co-wrote the song with Perry and Bonnie McKee for Perry's third studio album, Teenage Dream. Perry stated that she was inspired to write the track after a night of wild partying and streaking. It was released as the album's fifth single[1] on June 6, 2011 through Capitol Records with a remix featuring American hip-hop recording artist Missy Elliott released to U.S. radio stations and digital retailers on August 8, 2011.[2] Musically, the song is prominent dance-pop with influences of pop-rock, and the lyrics are about drunken fun and debauchery. Some of the risque lyrics in the song are often censored in radio versions of the song.

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics, with most of them highlighting its playful and catchy nature. However, critics were divided regarding the song's lyrical content; some referred it to as funny and sexy, while others dismissed it as lifeless. The song enjoyed chart success in North America, reaching number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and Canadian Hot 100. It also topped U.S. charts like Hot Digital Songs, Pop Songs, Radio Songs, and Hot Dance Club charts, like all of her previous singles.[3] It also reached number one in Slovakia and the Czech Republic and has attained top-ten positions in Austria, Ireland, Italy and Poland.

With "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" Perry set a record for a female solo artist, having amassed five number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 off a single album. [4] This makes Perry the second artist in the 53 year history of the chart to amass five number one singles from a single album--the first was Michael Jackson. [5] The song became Perry's sixth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and her fifth consecutive number one single.[6] The song joins the set's first four singles, all of which reached No. 1: "California Gurls", featuring Snoop Dogg; "Teenage Dream', "Firework", and "E.T.", featuring Kanye West.

As of December 2011, the single has sold 2,717,000 digital copies in the United States.[7]

The song's accompanying music video was directed by Marc Klasfeld. The clip features Perry, as her thirteen year old alter-ego Kathy Beth Terry, at a house party filled with music and dancing. While at the party, Terry is made over by her friend and draws attention to herself as the life of the party. The video features appearances by notable music artists and actors, which includes Rebecca Black, Darren Criss, Corey Feldman, Kenny G, Debbie Gibson, Hanson, and Kevin McHale. According to the director, the inspiration behind the video was Sixteen Candles, works by American filmmaker John Hughes, and other 1980s high school movies.

Background and artwork

Perry has revealed that she was inspired to write the track after running naked through a park with her friends. According to Music Rooms, Perry claims that after a wild night of partying and streaking, she wrote the song about her antics and what she remembered the next day. Perry revealed: “There’s nothing better than an impromptu dance party with my friends. My track 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' is a song about debauchery because I had one of those nights in Santa Barbara. We went out to this place called Wildcat and got crazy,” Perry admitted: “We had a couple of beers and danced until we died, then brought the party back to the hotel room.” She added: “Most of that song is actual truth, apart from the ménage à trois… unfortunately! But, yes, streaking in the park, that’s what we did, so we had to write a song about it the next day!”[8] Bonnie McKee, the co-writer of the song stated "TGIF is pretty much a word for word description of our trip to Santa Barbara [with Perry], so I love that one. It’s really catchy and fun and makes me nostalgic."[9] The official artwork for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" using scenes from the music video, shows Perry both before and after a makeover. She revealed the official album artwork for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) Remixes!" on her Facebook page. The photo features Perry in nerdy gear, including mouth guard and glasses, and was taken when she hosted the Teen Choice Awards in summer 2010. The image is surrounded by '80s-style neon colors and swirly graphics.[10] A remixed version of "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", featuring Missy Elliott, was released on August 8, 2011 to radio and digital downloads.[2][11] The remixed version omits the first verse of the album version and includes an edit to the bridge. Also, there is a new rap verse in the beginning by Elliott.

Composition and critical reception

"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is a pop rock and dance-pop song with a length of three minutes and 50 seconds.[12][13] It is set in common time and has a moderate tempo of 126 beats per minute. It is written in the key of F♯ major and Perry's vocals span one octave, from C♯4 to D♯5.[14] It follows the chord progression B–G♯m7–D♯m7-C♯.[14] The song has received mixed to positive reception from music critics. Allmusic picked it among the top tracks on the album, and said that Perry "salutes fellow attention-whore Kesha on 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)'".[15] Rolling Stone said that "Perry likes her songs chatty; in the kegger romp "Last Friday Night," she chirps, "Think I need a ginger ale/That was such an epic fail".[16] Slant Magazine said that “"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" is a lifeless roller-rink jam with a "T! G! I! F!" shout-along that will no doubt provide the soundtrack to any number of trashy sorority parties this semester".[17] Spin Magazine said that "Last Friday Night recounts an evening of nonstop naughtiness – think streaking, skinny-dipping, and ménage à trois-ing.”[18]

Now Magazine wrote, "The singer recently said that the catchy 'Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)' is her version of 'I Gotta Feeling'. With lyrics about photos ending up online after a debauched evening, it’s also reminiscent of Lady Gaga singing about drunkenly losing her keys and phone on "Just Dance." Derivative, sure, but the song strikes a perfect equilibrium between Perry’s sex appeal and goofy, self-effacing charm".[19] The A.V. Club said that "assuming that everything here is based on real life also means we have to accept that she’s had a ménage à trois on the indie-rock-meets-American Idol cut Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)".[20] The Washington Post said that "Over strummy guitars and zigzagging keyboards, Perry recounts an evening of debauchery with no repercussions, her innocent transgressions (streaking, skinny-dipping) mentioned in the same breath as more serious trouble (mysterious bruises, a blackout), but ... [when] it's time for Perry to reflect on her 3 a.m. follies, she stiffly sings, "That was such an epic fail." It sounds like a clueless parent's attempt to speak teenager.".[21] Billboard included the song in their Five Potential Pop Hits for 2011 list.[22] Future Music Charts said that it sounds like a pop song as it should be without any auto-tune voice changes and hard dj beats, which is the song's strength and weakness at the same time".[23]
In Cyprus Music Awards the video is nominated for "Worst Video" but the host added: "Maybe the video sucks , but the song is cool". Critics also belived that the cameo of Rebecca Black would affect the music video as she was stated to be older than her age.

Chart performance

The song's first charting position was at number 67 on the Billboard Hot 100.[24] It also charted at number 49 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart that same week. Following its single release, the song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 on June 18, 2011 at number 63 and at number 31 on the Billboard Pop Songs.[25] The following week, the song jumped 63-31 with the Hot 100's "Greatest Gainer" award.[26] In its fourth week on the chart, "Friday" leaped to number four, spurred by a number one ranking on Hot Digital Songs. This made Teenage Dream the first album to have five songs hit number one on the chart.[27] The song peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, in July 30. The following week, "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)", reached a new position of number two, where it remained for three additional weeks, behind "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock.[28]

The song finally reached the number-one position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for the issue dated August 27, 2011, and spent two weeks there. The song became Perry's sixth number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and her fifth consecutive number-one single. Perry became the first woman in the 53-year history of Billboard to take five singles from the same album to number one on the Billboard Hot 100, equaling the record established by Michael Jackson 23 years earlier.[29] The song has also peaked at number-one on the Canadian Hot 100, and has became her fourth number-one single from the album. As of December 2011, the single has sold 2,579,000 digital copies in the United States.[30] "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" peaked at number two on the Irish Singles Chart.

Music video

Background

In an interview with MTV, director Marc Klasfeld said that the video's storyline was inspired by Sixteen Candles and other works of John Hughes, as well as "all those great '80s high school movies."[32] Including a long series of outtakes during the ending credits was influenced by a similar idea in The Cannonball Run.[32] The costume for Perry's character, Kathy Beth Terry, was inspired by the character Betty Suarez, played by America Ferrera in the series Ugly Betty. The music video for "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" was filmed around May 3–6, 2011 at the home of John Schneider. It was directed by Marc Klasfeld,[33] and co-directed by Danny Lockwood.[33] Perry tweeted, "I told someone about my new music video I just filmed & they responded with 'wow, that's gonna break the internet.' ... Should I knock on wood?"[10]

Synopsis

The music video contains several cameos, including two stars of the TV series, Glee, McHale (left) and Criss (right). The character Betty Suarez was the inspiration to compose the visual of Kathy Beth Terry (right).

In the late 1980s/early 1990s,[34] Kathy Beth Terry (Perry), a nerdy teenager with braces, headgear, and oversized glasses, has just awakened the morning after a house party, surrounded by passed-out partygoers. A male guest, Aaron Christopherson (Darren Criss) opens the door to her bedroom and congratulates her on having the "best party ever." Puzzled as to what happened, she goes online, only to find pictures of herself in various compromising positions, including one picture of her licking the stomach of the boy in bed next to her. The video then goes into a flashback of the events that occurred the night before. While doing a Sudoku puzzle, Kathy hears loud music from the house next door, and goes over to complain. She is greeted by Rebecca Black (who appears in a homage to Black's viral video "Friday"), who invites her in. A nerdy Everett McDonald (Glee star Kevin McHale) ogles Terry from afar and fantasizes about being with her.

Kathy, however, is more interested in Steve Johnson aka "The Jock" (model Richie Nuzzolese), an attractive football player, who turns her down because of her appearance. To cheer her up, Black gives Kathy a makeover, ripping off her headgear with pliers, waxing her upper lip, dressing her in tight-fitting neon clothes, and teasing her hair out. Steve becomes enamored with her, and everyone starts dancing. Kathy and Rebecca are also seen playing Just Dance 2 (a game that features Perry as DLC and they are playing the song "Hot Stuff"). Musician Kenny G, despite not having played the saxophone on the song's actual recording, plays the saxophone solo on the roof while Hanson act as the house band. The entire party ends up moving to Kathy's house, where she throws up after drinking too much. Everett punches Steve for trying to fondle Kathy's bottom (Visualized by him as a medieval sword fight with Kathy as a damsel in distress).

At the end of the night, Kathy finally passes out next to Steve. The video shifts back to the next morning, where she looks at the photos with regret, but is also ecstatic to have a naked Steve passed out in her bed. The film ends with former teen idols Corey Feldman and Debbie Gibson as Kathy's parents, Kirk and Tiffany Terry confronting Kathy about the state of the house; Feldman makes several references to The Lost Boys, in which he starred. The video end credits feature various deleted lines, bloopers, and extra scenes from the party, as well as Everett bringing Kathy breakfast in bed. After the credits end, it repeats the shot where Kathy gets tape ripped off her upper lip; her scream is heard this time.

Release

The teaser of the video was released on Perry's YouTube profile on June 4, 2011.[35] Prior to the video's premiere, Perry created Facebook and Twitter profiles for her alter-ego of a nerdy thirteen year old, Kathy Beth Terry, who first appeared in one of Perry's hosting skits during the 2010 Teen Choice Awards.[36] Starting from June 8, a series of short video clips was uploaded on the Facebook profile, YouTube and Perry's official web version premiered later on the same day on Funny or Die. On July 11, after crossing the half-million "likes" mark, Perry released an interview in character as Terry on DigitalSpy.[37] Perry, in character as Kathy Beth Terry made various references to Rebecca Black and other guests on the video on her Twitter and Facebook. She also gave interviews to the Digitalspy, Australian Cosmopolitan and BOP Tiger Beat.[38][39]
