Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection is going to be the re-release of Katy Perry's 2010 studio album Teenage Dream. It includes many songs that have not been released on her albums. Leftover songs by Ryan Tedder that did not make the original track list might appear on the re-release, Tedder said: "I have three songs that I think are dead-on, incredible songs for her that are just started, they're ideas that I want to finish with her. The stuff that I'm doing for her, it connects to the first album, one song is, like, the evolution of 'Hot N Cold', that kind of thing. The next step from that. The other two literally sound like something you would hear in the mid-'90s at a roller-rink skating party - like, a birthday party at a skating rink. I would describe it as guilty-pleasure music, straight up. I've had the melodies and the choruses in these songs stuck in my head for, like, a week. So I feel really good about it, and Katy, I hope you like it".

In October 2010, Rihanna stated that she and Katy have been talking a lot about possibly working together, she stated: "We want to get in the studio and make something......maybe for her re-release. But we want to do something together for sure".. In November 2010, Rihanna shed some further light on the duet, stating: "[Katy] sent me a song a while ago and she wanted me to be a part of it. I was like, 'Hell, yeah, of course'. She's my girl and the song is amazing. We'll be recording that together pretty soon".

In March 2011, Dr. Luke’s representative confirmed that Luke was finishing up a new single with Perry, he stated: "They just put the finishing touches on Katy’s newest [upcoming] single, which they created together in February 2011. They had a great time, and the single is amazing. He wishes Katy nothing but continued success and looks forward to working with her again soon”.. Also in March 2011, when asked by More Magazine wether she would record a feline-inspired song, Perry replied: "I have a lot of those on the album already. I do have a song coming out in a few months that has a couple of cat references, but I think that's a little too saucy to talk about. I like to leave things a mystery".

In October 2011, Tricky Stewart told MTV that he is back in the studio with Perry working on leftovers from their Teenage Dream sessions. He stated: "Katy and I went into [the studio] just to address some issues with [the] records that we had done in the past that didn't end up going on Teenage Dream, so we are in the process of just listening and freshening up things and getting ready for something special she has going on", hinting that Teenage Dream would have a re-release. Stewart also added: "We always knew that the records we created were special [and] at the time it was more contractual obligation [that they did not make the album], I can only have so many songs produced by me on the album, and she honestly didn't need any more records, as you can tell by the success of this album, the songs have been flawless." Stewart said that one of the songs is titled "Dressin' Up", he said: "This song is really special. It's called 'Dressing Up,' so it's going to be a big record, I think, it definitely fits. It's right there in what her sensibilities are as a musician and a songwriter. She doesn't change much. She has a very keen musical taste. It'll be really good".

In January 2012, it was revealed by Amazon, Best Buy, and Billboard that Teenage Dream will be re-released on March 27, 2012 under the title Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection.
