- Carly Rae Jepsen released the double LP Day and Night, featuring 24 tracks split across two 12-song LPs themed around Day and Night
- "Versailles" music video, directed by Kanya Iwana and filmed in Los Angeles, depicts Jepsen dancing at a party while imagining herself at the French chateau
- The track was inspired by Sofia Coppola's film Marie Antoinette, with Jepsen co-writing it alongside Elias Kapari, Noonie Bao, and Markus Krunegård, with production by Kapari
- Day and Night marks Jepsen's first album of new music since 2023's The Loveliest Time, following her earlier single and video for the ABBA-inspired "Don't Leave Me on the Dance Floor"
- Jepsen will perform a special sunset set at New York City's All Things Go Festival on Sept. 27, her first live performance of the year
- Jepsen began teasing the album in June, playing two 12-hour instrumental snippets on June 1 (one being "After All") and posting postcard-style social media images twice daily starting June 11
Why it matters: After a two-year gap since The Loveliest Time, Jepsen returns with a notably expansive project — 24 tracks across two themed LPs — anchored by a Sofia Coppola-inspired visual for "Versailles." Fans get their first live preview of the Day and Night concept at Jepsen's Sept. 27 sunset set at NYC's All Things Go Festival.
