"The One That Got Away" is a song co-written and recorded by American country music artist Jake Owen.

According to co-writer Dallas Davidson, Owen " started talking about how the girls would come in for the summer.

He thought that the song's release was perfectly timed for summer, and said that "Owen is becoming more adept at selling the emotion in his music, but he’s not quite at the level of someone like Keith Urban or Kenny Chesney.

This fails on all counts, leaving us with a generic summer song that's as easily forgotten as the love that it documents.

"[4] The music video was directed by Mason Dixon and premiered in late June 2012.
