Carly Rae Jepsen is back with “After All,” the latest new song off her upcoming double album Day and Night.
With a soft, soulful approach — think Jungle or Khruangbin — “After All” leaves any sense of pop sheen behind for a sound that feels warm, lived in, and luxurious. Carly Rae Jepsen coos over skittering drums and delicate piano touches, with a backing choir eventually rising in for the song’s light, lively chorus; they provide some extraverted energy, but overall, “After All” is more about the subtle glow that Jepsen conjures. The song also arrives with a music video featuring a very pregnant Jepsen reveling in sunlight as she reflects on a prior night’s dinner party; the video was filmed prior to the birth of Jepsen’s daughter in March of this year.
Upcoming Album and Tour
“After All” is the second single off Day and Night following last month’s “On Wires”. Day and Night, a 24-track double album themed around daytime and nighttime, will arrive on September 18th; it’s Jepsen’s first new album since 2023’s The Loveliest Time. Like “On Wires” before it, “After All” represents another track on the daytime portion of Day and Night. Pre-order your copy of Day and Night here.
Carly Rae Jepsen has yet to announce a formal tour in support of her upcoming album, but she will make a major appearance this fall at New York City’s All Things Go festival; get tickets here.
The music video for “After All” is now available to watch, and Carly Rae Jepsen is expected to make more announcements about her upcoming album and tour in the coming weeks. With the release of Day and Night just around the corner, fans are eagerly anticipating the chance to hear more new music from Jepsen. In the meantime, they can enjoy “After All” and look forward to seeing Carly Rae Jepsen perform live at the All Things Go festival this fall.
