Vince Aung* Carly Rae Jepsen is reveling in her life’s next chapter on “After All,” the second single from her double album Day and Night out Sept. 18.
“After All” will appear on the Day side of her next record and was co-written by Jepsen and Kyle Shearer, and co-produced by Shearer and Nate Cyphert. The glistening song finds Jepsen musing on life as a new wife and mother in a series of tableaus; there’s terracotta tiles, late-night fireworks, and an apartment with the view of the ocean. The chillwave-esque track then explodes into a spritely breakdown which is sure to serve as a midsummer anthem.
Like previous single “On Wires,” Jepsen is pregnant in the Aerin Moreno-directed music video for “After All” (she and husband Cole M.G.N., who she met three years prior during a studio session, welcomed their first child in March). Throughout the glowy video, she twirls around a golden-hued house, and later, M.G.N. makes an appearance in the visual at a glitzy fête.
Day and Night is Jepsen’s eighth studio album following the 2023 b-sides collection The Loveliest Time. On Sept. 27, Jepsen will play a special sunset set at New York City’s All Things Go Festival, marking her first live performance of the year. The Canadian pop star’s first double album features 24 tracks, with each LP comprising 12 songs corresponding to the Day and Night theme. The musician worked on the double LP with collaborators and friends, including Tavish Crowe, Shearer, Cyphert, and M.G.N.. The track list has yet to be announced.
