And on this very day something very unexpected happened.

The music video for “Call Me Maybe” was released on December 9, and the song did a 180 turn and began to climb again, albeit slowly: #32, #28, #24, and #22 on December 30. But Carly and her team were not willing to back down their efforts, setting their sights higher and working on creating a catchy music video. It looked like Carly was not going to improve on the chart success of her previous 2 hits, that it was all over. After the shows, on November 25, the song hit #35 but the following week slipped down to #37. When it was just outside the Top 40 at #43, Carly launched a mini-tour of western Canada to promote the song. From there (October 28), “Call Me Maybe” began a slow and steady climb. The third week was the most exciting as the song enjoyed its biggest climb, lunging ahead 24 places to #57. The following week, however, “Call Me Maybe” leaped forward to #81. While new songs by Daughtry and Taio Cruz debuted on the same chart inside the Top 40, and Maroon 5′s unbeatable “Moves like Jagger” was king of the charts, the future of the song did not seem promising. “Call Me Maybe” debuted on the Canadian Hot 100 on October 14 at the humble position of #97. After some time, local radio stations like Virgin 953 decided to add it to their playlists. The new song was released on September 20, 2011. In lieu of her second album, the team decided one of the songs was good enough and ready to be released as a single. Under her direction, label-mate Josh Ramsay, lead singer of band Marianas Trench, helped convert her folk-pop style into a more fresh sounding dance pop style. During this time, she began writing some new songs with the assistance of her guitarist Tavish Crowe. She was later signed by Vancouver-based record label 604 Records, a pet project of Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger.

Her success led to 2 JUNO nominations in 2010 for New Artist of the Year and Songwriter of the Year. This finish was good enough to secure a record deal and she released her debut LP Tug of War in 2008, with the production talents of Canadian hit-maker Ryan Stewart, which spawned 2 GOLD, Top 40 hit singles, the title track and “Bucket”.

In 2007, Mission, BC’s Carly Rae Jepsen finished 3rd on the fifth season of Canadian Idol, a series that ran for six seasons. Frequently overlooked, a delicious bridge is what sets apart the great songwriters from the good. In the case of Jepsen, however, oftentimes, the bridge “steals the show”. Many artists, unable to do this, opt for the rap segment route. One of the elements that makes Carly Rae Jepsen’s songs so enjoyable is that she is able to write a killer bridge.
