La canción The One That Got Away de Katy Perry habla sobre la nostalgia de su primer amor y los arrepentimientos sobre las cosas que podrían haberse hecho de manera diferente. La letra refleja la pérdida y el anhelo por un amor juvenil, simbolizando a alguien que fue importante pero que, por circunstancias de la vida, terminó alejándose.
