Day and Night (Carly Rae Jepsen album)

Following the release of The Loveliest Time in 2023, Jepsen continued writing and recording new material while touring internationally. In August 2025, she marked the tenth anniversary of her third studio album, Emotion (2015), with a one-night-only celebration. Throughout 2024 and 2025, Jepsen was sometimes seen in the recording studio, which included a session with British producer A. G. Cook.^[1] In the weeks leading up to the announcement of her new album, Jepsen posted cryptic messages on social media featuring images accompanied by locations, dates, and times.^[2] Images included photographs of artifacts and objects, as well as lines resembling lyrics from the upcoming record.^[3]

Day and Night's first half is described by The Line of Best Fit as "raw", featuring live instrumentation and elements of 1970s-inspired "psychedelic pop", while the second half is "exploratory and intense", resembling a "sleek, synth-driven dance-pop sound". As a whole, the collection is set to capture a "blurred, dreamlike sense of time", in which "nights stretch into mornings" and "days dissolve into nights".^[4]

Jepsen announced Day and Night on June 22, 2026, scheduled for release as a 24-track double album.^[5][6] Twelve tracks are intended to represent daytime, while the remaining twelve represent nighttime.^[4] The album was recorded with collaborators Tavish Crowe, Kyle Shearer, Nate Cyphert, and Cole M.G.N. (also Jepsen's husband),^[7] as well as Noonie Bao, Patrik Berger, Markus Krunegård, and Pontus Winnberg.^[8]

"On Wires" was released as the lead single on June 26, 2026,^[9] followed by the second single "After All" on July 16, 2026^[10] and the third single "Don't Leave Me on the Dance Floor" on August 7, 2026. The album's release will be followed by a headlining performance at the All Things Go Festival on September 27, marking her first live appearance for the year.^[11]
