First of all, I'd like to say it's nice to be working with you again. :)

Where is the 2010 recording date coming from? And where is the genre coming from? I don't mean like for these to be sourced in the infobox, but later in the article, which I see both are not.

I have changed and sourced the genre per the sheet music. Adabow (talk · contribs) 05:35, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have a few problems with the lead, but it pretty much just goes to personal performance. I'm just gonna give you a suggest to what would (in my opinion), sound a bit better, and you can use it if you'd like, or parts of it.
- "Not Like the Movies" is a song by American recording artist Katy Perry, taken from her third studio album, Teenage Dream (2010). The song was written by Perry, alongside the song's producer Greg Wells. The soft rock song, speaks about a love relationship where a woman doesn't feel in love and still awaits for her "prince charming". The song was released on August 3, 2010, by Capitol Records, as the first in a series of promotional singles from Teenage Dream.
- "Not Like the Movies" received positive reviews from music critics, with most calling the song a powerful and contemplative ballad. With only being released as a promotional single, the song managed to peak at number fifty-three on US Billboard Hot 100 and at number forty-one on the Canadian Hot 100. Perry performed the song on her California Dreams Tour, and at the 53rd Grammy Awards on February 13, 2011.
Not very good, but I tried my best to try to improve. Some parts are a bit messy. I suggest you pretty much rewrite some parts of it.

Since there isn't much in this section, I think this should be merged with the "composition" section, under one title: "Background and composition". Once this is done, I'll go after the sections put together.

Maybe start out the section by mentioning if the reviews were mainly positive, as a nice introduction to what's to come. The rest seems pretty good with the critical reception part of it.
Week of --> Isn't it usually week ending?
"and stayed on the chart for only one week" --> Does this really need to be said? It was a promo single, so it's not like it was an official single and only charted once for a week.

Why isn't it's peak on the Hot Digital Songs listed here? It's listed eariler in the article?

I'll go over some more of it later. The article needs some work. It also seems a bit bare to me. Is there any more information you can find? ℥^nding·start 04:47, 6 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Will you be able to get to this soon? Wizardman _{Operation Big Bear} 17:56, 2 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I am failing this due to lack of activity from both the reviewer and nominator. Adabow (talk · contribs) 01:37, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
