Carly Rae Jepsen Announces 24-Track Double Album Return with ‘Day and Night’
Carly Rae Jepsen is entering a new era with Day and Night, a 24-track double album set to arrive September 18 via Interscope Records. The project will be divided into two 12-song collections, each built around its own sonic identity and emotional atmosphere. And apparently, Jepsen will offer the first preview on June 26 with lead single “On Wires,” which arrives just under three months before the full album’s release.
Day and Night Brings Two Sides of Carly Rae Jepsen’s Pop World Together
According to the announcement, Day and Night explores the hazy space between one part of the day and the next: evenings that blur into morning, hours that seem to stretch forever, and moments where time feels suspended. That concept carries through its split structure, with Day and Night designed as distinct yet connected sides of the same artistic statement.
The Day half is described as organic, raw, and rooted in live instrumentation, with flashes of ’70s-inspired psychedelic pop woven into its sound. Night, meanwhile, moves toward something sleeker and more intense, embracing synth-driven dance pop and a heightened sense of escapism. Across both sides, Jepsen explores love, joy, fear, anxiety, fantasy, and the uncertainty that comes with letting yourself believe in new possibilities.
Jepsen developed the album alongside a close circle of collaborators, including Tavish Crowe, Kyle Shearer, Nate Cyphert, and Cole M.G.N. The result is being positioned as her most cohesive artistic statement to date, arriving after more than a decade of building one of modern pop’s most devoted fan bases.
Since breaking through internationally with 2012’s “Call Me Maybe,” Jepsen has continued to shape a catalog defined by emotional precision, huge melodies, and a willingness to follow pop music into stranger, more intimate places. Her 2015 album E•MO•TION specifically remains a landmark release for fans and critics alike, while later projects including Dedicated, The Loneliest Time, and The Loveliest Time expanded the scope of her songwriting and production instincts.
For those with a penchant for live shows, Jepsen will also bring Day and Night to the stage shortly after its release, headlining New York City’s All Things Go Festival on September 27. The performance will even mark her first show of 2026 and offer fans their first chance to hear this new chapter in a vibrant, pop-friendly, festival setting.
Day and Night arrives September 18, while “On Wires” officially drops on June 26.
