    This is still my favorite Katy Perry song. She sounds great on it, and the lyrics aren't fluff.

    "It's very appropriate to say "the f word" when "the f word" is needed." THAT IS VERY TRUE.

    I can relate to every single lyric to this song. It's helped me through a tough breakup with an addict. New respect for Katy, she's amazing.

      She's a useless, toxic person that doesn't know how to communicate to a friend that has depression and needed support at the time. She is not a savior, she's the villain.

    This song was my most pleasant surprise on the album. Hearing it for the first time, I was struck by the subject matter being probably the most weighty on the entire record, and it even has the pop rock sound that was one of my favorite aspects of her first album One of the Boys. 0:57 It's nice to see she seemed fully aware of how the song was a standout and had some of the rawest emotions on Teenage Dream.

    I am pretty sure if Travie was so offended he would have been more upset about it. Anyone who thinks that she was too blunt obviously has not dealt with this type of situation. No one but the addict can make the move to make themselves better. I don't think she sounds bitter, I think she finally got something off her chest the way an artist does- through their art.
    Google Travie responds to Circle the drain, MTV has his response.

    She made it to the top by herself. There may be people who hate Katy for this song and say she's a hypocrite, in all it is a good song and most people connect with it. I don't understand why you guys are getting worked up over nothing. Besides, you don't know the full story, which means you really have no place criticize. I'm not writing this to get hate comments, I'm just stating the facts. If you don't like her, why bother listening and commenting? It's very immature, so just don't bother wit

    @batsarecool09 Wow, you're not getting it at all. This song is clearly personal for the both of them, and it didn't need to be released, or at least this version did it. I'm all for people expressing how they feel and things that go on in their lives, but to put someone on blast for their ADDICTIONS which they tried to take care of while they were with you and weren't strong enough to? That's when it's out of line.
