Teary Eyes by Katy Perry Song Info
“Teary Eyes“ is the third track off Katy Perry’s sixth studio album "Smile". Here, she’s talking about moving on and continues to live your life even though you’re going through something painful or that still makes you cry, one day all the pain will be over and your “eyes will dry” Katy said this is her favorite song of the album, and coincidentally the rhythm of delivering vocals matches with her hit song "Firework", which according to Katy, is her favorite song to sing live. ”It’s really about just dancing through your tears, and I’m like, “Wow, that really resonates – that slaps! That hits hard for me right now.” – via Radio KC101 with Adam Rivers (June, 2020) On August 28, 2020, Billboard ranked the song at #9 on their favorite songs list from the album and had this to say about the song: “Consider “Teary Eyes” Perry’s house music sequel to “Firework” – instead of uplifting the downtrodden with an inspirational anthem, she reaches out to the lost and left behind and commands them to keep dancing instead of running away. The chorus here arrives in abrupt fashion, but Perry’s vocal take helps it go down smoothly.“
