It was released on March 23, 2012 by Capitol Records, nearly two years after the original record. Perry collaborated with producers including Tricky Stewart to refine leftover material from the recording sessions at Playback Recording Studio for ''Teenage Dream''.

In several international territories, the album charted moderately as an independent release, and has sold one million copies globally.
