    Josh Groban has previously reacted to “The One That Got Away”

    While appearing in a weekend-long livestream in 2017 to promote her Witness album, Katy told fans that Josh was “the one that got away.”

    Josh reacted to the news on Watch What Happens Live in September 2018. He said, “I was not expecting that. That was a double take and a spit of my coffee when I saw that. It’s very sweet of her to say that. I’m very flattered by it. But I was very surprised by it too.”

    Josh didn’t think that he could be the subject of the song because the lyrics don’t actually match him.

    “I listened to the lyrics of the song. And I’m like, ‘I never owned a Mustang. I don’t have a tattoo. Are you sure that’s about me?’” he added.

    On why they broke up, Josh said, “We were both very private and we realized we were better as friends and we’ve been very, very good friends to this day. She’s the best.” He also shot down the chance of a reconciliation at the time, saying, “I think we’re both very taken at the moment, but it’s very sweet.”

    Katy stars in the music video alongside Diego Luna. In the first verse of the song she sings:

    Summer after high school when we first met
    We make out in your Mustang to Radiohead
    And on my 18th birthday
    We got matching tattoos
    Used to steal your parents’ liquor
    And climb to the roof
    Talk about our future
    Like we had a clue
    Never planned on one day
    I’d be losing you
