'The One That Got Away' marks the sixth cut from her Teenage Dream album, and is officially released later this year.
The release follows five US chart-topping releases from Perry's second LP, matching Michael Jackson's chart record set by his Thriller album in 1987-1988.
"Nothing ventured, nothing gained," EMI's EVP Greg Thompson said of the release to Billboard, adding: "If it goes to number one, that would be great. If not, we still have a Katy song on the radio in fourth quarter."
A "touch up" of the song will be released to radio by its original producer Dr Luke, while the label is said to be reading treatments for the accompanying music video.
Teenage Dream topped the US and UK charts last August, where it has sold 1.8 million copies in the States alone and remained in the top 40 since its release.
Perry's last single 'Last Friday Night' was voted 'Song of the Summer' by VH1.
