Katy Perry所演唱的单曲"One That Got Away/离我而去的人"由Katy、Dr. Luke、Max Martin共同撰写，这是一首讲述旧情人的慢速流行民谣，Katy表示“当你向一个人承诺永远后却没有去信守诺言，这是一个苦乐参半的故事。”这是Katy Perry翻唱自己的“The One That Got Away”虽然只是一个“The”的相隔，但是是与“The One That Got Away”完全不同的风格的慢速流行民谣。

是Katy Perry在与Russell Brand离婚后翻唱的，他们是于2011年12月30日离婚，讽刺的是在两年前的12月31号，Russell Brand向Katy求婚。世事无常啊，Katy在这场婚姻中受尽了伤，，感情这东西没有个对错，不合适就只能慢慢磨合，如果磨合不来，也就只能分手了，分手了大家可以做朋友就做朋友，不能做朋友也不至于要去做仇人，你不放过那个人，何必呢？最后受到伤害的还是你自己，看开点吧，不是说谁没有谁，谁就活不下去的，没有那个人只是说你刚开始还不习惯而已，等习惯了没有那个人的时候，你回过头来看，会发现当初的自己是多幺的幼稚，多幺的可笑。在这首歌的字里行间，更是有一种令人心碎的感觉。希望Katy可以早日从这段失败的感情中走出来，早日找到属于自己的爱情。
