"Not Like the Movies" is a song by American singer-songwriter Katy Perry. The song was written by Perry for her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010), while production and additional writing was done by Greg Wells. It was released on August 3, 2010, by Capitol Records as the album's first promotional single. The song is a teen pop and pop ballad from the point of view of a teenage girl. Lyrically, the girl contemplates her first time and how "it wasn't right". She realizes through that experience that her "prince" is still "out there" waiting for her. It was written when Perry first started dating her then-husband, Russell Brand.
"Not Like the Movies" received positive reviews from music critics, some of whom called it a powerful and lovely song, as well a contemplative ballad, but noticed that the song's lyrics make only minimal reference to Perry then-husband, Russell Brand. "Not Like the Movies" achieved moderate success, peaking at number 53 on US Billboard Hot 100 chart and at number 41 on the Canadian Hot 100 chart. Perry performed the song on her California Dreams Tour (2011). She also did a performance of the song along with "Teenage Dream" at the 53rd Grammy Awards on February 13, 2011. The performance received positive reviews from music critics.
