Carly Rae Jepson was born on November 21st, 1985, in Mission, British Columbia, Canada. After performing several lead roles in her high school’s musical productions, she enrolled at the Canadian College of Performing Arts in Victoria, British Columbia. In 2007 she competed on the fifth season of Canadian Idol, where she finished in third place. To date Carly Rae Jepson has released five studio Albums between 2008-2020, two remix Albums, four EP’s, and 26 singles, nine of which have reached the top 40 in her home country, three have made the top 40 on Billboard in America, while in the UK she has charted on four occasions.

‘Call Me Maybe’ was co-written by Carly Rae Jepson, Tavish Crowe, and Josh Ramsey, who also produced the track. The song made it’s first appearance on Jepson’s second EP release ‘Curiosity,’ from February 2012, as track two of the six track EP, the song would later appear on Jepson’s second studio Album ‘Kiss,’ released in September 2012. ‘Call Me Maybe’ was originally written as a ‘Folk’ song by Jepson, and Tavish Crowe, who was a guitarist with Jepson’s touring band, and has since collaborated with her on other occasions. The song received a complete overhaul when Josh Ramsey came on board, transforming it into the ‘Bubblegum Pop’ track we now all know. In his home country of Canada, Ramsey is best known for being the lead singer of the Canadian Pop/Rock band ‘Marianas Trench’, whom he formed in 1999.

In December 2011, prior to ‘Call Me Baby’ becoming a worldwide hit, the singers Justin Bieber, and Selena Gomez were in Canada, and heard the track on the radio. Both were impressed with what they heard and wrote about it on their Twitter accounts, instantly gaining Jepson international attention, leading to her being signed by Scooter Brawn (Bieber’s manager) to his ‘Schoolboy Record’ label. Beiber’s tweet had said,’The song is possibly the catchiest song I’ve ever heard.’ ‘Call Me Maybe’ went onto top the charts in 18 countries, and to date has sold, and streamed over 18 million worldwide, it is the best selling single by a female artist in the 21st Century to date. The song has also been ranked by Billboard Magazine as Number 1 on the list of ‘The best chorus’ of the 21st Century.’

‘Call Me Maybe’ is the story of a female being smitten at seeing a very attractive male take off his shirt, as she watches from across the street. She immediately want’s this guy, and try’s to catch his attention. The song’s memorable video show’s Jepson rehearsing in a garage with her band, and when the guy walks over to them, it isn’t her who he is interested in, but the male guitarist, who he gives his phone number to. In 2018 Holden Nowell who played the part of Jepson’s love interest in the video said that it was his idea to hand over his phone number on a piece of paper, as the original story line had called for him to kiss the male band member, and Nowell told the directors,’I’m going to be completely honest with you, I’m not going to kiss a guy, especially for $500.’

‘I threw a wish in the well, don’t ask me I’ll never tell. I looked at you as it fell, and now you’re in my way.’
