Carly Rae Jepsen – “Motivation”

Carly Rae Jepsen is making waves in the music industry, currently working with Lena Dunham on a new stage-musical adaptation of "10 Things I Hate About You" set to premiere on Broadway next year. Soon, the release of her double album "Day And Night" will be just a month away, and it promises to be a masterpiece. Jepsen has already shared three advance singles from the album: "On Wires," "After All," and "Don't Leave Me On The Dance Floor."

Today, she releases her latest single, "Motivation," which is a joyful club-pop track that does not feature any covers from Kelly Rowland or Lil Wayne. Instead, it boasts a bright and euphoric sound, accompanied by a determined strut.

The song was penned by Jepsen herself and co-produced by Cole MGN and regular Jepsen collaborator Kyle Shearer. The inspiration behind "Motivation" came when Jepsen was back in her hometown in the fall, where she felt the crunch of leaves beneath her feet and contemplated her family's passion and high expectations. This led to the creation of a song that serves as a family anthem, recognizing the complexities of their relationships while also hoping to be an anthem for chosen families as well.

The music video for "Motivation" was directed by Caio Viera and filmed in Paris, evoking a sense of longing for the city. The video features models, designers, actors, and former RuPaul's Drag Race contestant Gigi Goode. At the end of the video, viewers can catch a glimpse of Jepsen's newborn baby, born earlier this year. Be sure to check out the video below.
