The cited reason
"The One That Got Away" has surged since early 2026 after going viral on TikTok and Instagram, where users repurposed the 2011 ballad to soundtrack nostalgia edits, relationship retrospectives and "what if" storytelling about lost love. Katy Perry capitalized on the momentum with an April 21, 2026 director's cut of the video featuring Stevie Nicks narration and a greatest-hits compilation, "The Ones That Got the Plays," and the track's viral resurgence has continued to lift it across global charts into August 2026.

In culture
Every place this record has lived. A solid chip states a fact and carries the citation that earns it; a dashed one is a connection somebody drew, and carries their name instead.
