Type the lyrics to “The One That Got Away” by Katy Perry

Katy Perry keeps a steady, unrelenting rhythm here rather than pausing between sections, so across 328 words this builds stamina at a genuinely quick clip. The chorus comes round enough times that you drill the same phrases repeatedly, which is how speed on common words gets built.

Based on its natural singing speed, this track sits in the “fast” range, a demanding pace that challenges even experienced typists. You can slow the video down or turn on Easy mode (which drops capitals and punctuation) to make it more approachable, or type at full speed to test yourself.

The full lyrics run to roughly 328 words, making it a longer, endurance-building session. Repetition in the chorus means you'll drill the same words several times, which is exactly how typing speed on common words improves.
