The single debuted at number one in the United Kingdom and Canada, and has been certified Platinum in the United States, Australia and New Zealand. Marketing campaigns for Adidas and The Sims 3: Showtime have featured it, and Lindsey Pavao performed the song on Season 2 of The Voice.\n\nAn accompanying music video was filmed at the United States Marine Corps' Camp Pendleton in Oceanside, California. The video depicts Perry enlisting in the marines following a heartbreak.

Perry debuted the first televised performance of song on at the 54th Grammy Awards. Perry has performed the song on several television programs, including the ECHO Awards, the 2012 Kids' Choice Awards, and American Idol."},{"idArtist":"111827","strMusicBrainzArtistID":"122d63fc-8671-43e4-9752-34e846d62a9c","idAlbum":"2120401","idTrack":"32849948","strTrack":"Wide Awake","strTrackThumb":"http://www.theaudiodb.com/images/media/track/thumb/rvyyux1359093423.jpg","strMusicVid":"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0BWlvnBmIE","strDescription":"\"Wide Awake\" is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry, from the album Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection (2012).
