Did Josh Groban Really Inspire Katy Perry's 'One That Got Away'?

"We were both very private and we realized we were better as friends," Groban said. "We're very very good friends to this day, she's the best. But I was not expecting [her to say that]. That was a double-take and a spit. It's very sweet of her to say that, [but] I listened to the lyrics of the song and I'm like, 'I never owned a Mustang. I don't have a tattoo. Are you sure that's about me?' I'm very flattered by it but I was very surprised by it too."
The sixth and final single off of Perry's massively successful Teenage Dream, "The One That Got Away" tells the story of a lost love, and peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. It includes the lyrics "In another life, I would be your girl / We keep all our promises, be us against the world / In another life, I would make you stay / So I don't have to say you were the one that got away / The one that got away."
