Key Points

The album’s first song, “No Labels, I Love You,” was also the first song Jepsen wrote with Cole M.G.N.; the track captures the tension of falling for someone despite trying to suppress those feelings.

Jepsen described Day and Night as possibly her most sexually charged album, saying that “longing is really sexy” and that she has always enjoyed being the person who advances a romantic pursuit.

Jepsen shot the “On Wires” music video while pregnant and planned her wedding while writing the album, illustrating how closely the project’s creation overlapped with major personal milestones.
4
While four months pregnant, Jepsen performed every track from Emotion at a 2025 Los Angeles anniversary concert; she recalled that her mother was alarmed whenever she climbed risers in high-heeled boots.

The Broadway adaptation of 10 Things I Hate About You is targeting a 2027 arrival; Jepsen and Ethan Gruska are writing the music and lyrics, while Lena Dunham and Jessica Huang are handling the book and Christopher Wheeldon is attached to the production.
Carly Rae Jepsen released Day and Night on September 18, a bold 24-track double album split between two contrasting sonic worlds. Music Times notes the acoustic, folk-leaning "Day" sequences flow against a darker, synth-driven "Night" half. At 40, Jepsen created this project while navigating major life shifts—marrying producer Cole M.G.N. in 2025 and welcoming son Ilya in March 2026.
The album explores romance, desire, and longing through singles like "On Wires," "After All," and "Don't Leave Me on the Dancefloor." The Saturday Paper describes Day and Night as Jepsen's "most lyrically grounded" work, marking a major inflection point in her career. She called it her most sexually charged album, believing "longing is really sexy."
