Canadian pop singer Cary Rae Jepsen is on line 1, calling you back, and this time there’s no indecision — she really likes you.
And we really like her new single, ‘I Really Like You.”
The “Call Me Maybe” singer might not ever top the success of her 2011 breakout hit, which has generated more than 650 million views on YouTube, but this is a good start. And the track was co-written a produced by Peter Svensson, who moonlights as the guitarist for the Cardigans.
“I told her that she couldn’t come out with anything unless it was on the level of ‘Call Me Maybe,'” Jepsen’s manager Scooter Braun tells Billboard. “And, now we have a new one that is on that level.”
Adds Jepsen in a presser: “Lyrically, it’s about that time in a relationship when it’s too soon to say ‘I love you,’ but you’re well past, ‘I like you’ and you’re at the ‘I really, really like you’ stage.”
Summer still seems like a distant dream, but things got a little warmer with this Tay Sway-flavored bit of bubblegum pop goodness.
