Carly Rae Jepsen just released two new songs — and we really like them.
On Wednesday, the pop star, 33, dropped “Now That I Found You” and “Drug Like Me” (listen above and below, respectively). Like recent releases from the Canadian singer, the tracks boast a retro sheen and an earworm hook.
“‘Now That I found You’ is about the high you get when a new love starts to change your life. It’s like the rush, rush, rush is better than any drug,” Jepsen said of the track, which Zane Lowe premiered on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio. “Which leads me to ‘No Drug Like Me’ which is a promise I made to love in general. That when the good stuff lands my way I’ll always try to be vulnerable and brave and show all of myself — ‘If you make me feel in love then I’ll blossom for you.’”
Both “Now That I Found You” and “No Drug Like Me” will appear on Jepsen’s much-anticipated fourth studio album.
Jepsen has slowly been making her return over the past few years.
In 2015, Jepsen — who rose to fame with her ubiquitous smash “Call Me Maybe” in 2012 — released her critically acclaimed, ’80s-inspired pop masterpiece E•MO•TION, which was followed by her E•MO•TION: Side B EP the next year. Her fizzy bop “Cut to the Feeling” was a 2017 song of the summer contender, and Jepsen hasn’t dropped new tunes since the one-off release “Party for One” last November.
Last April, Jepsen opened up to PEOPLE about how her new album is coming together, revealing she had about 100 songs to sift through.
“When I was going into the making of the album, there was a real desire for the sort of understated disco. But it’s funny because even with intention to go in one direction, that can always be a jumping point; that doesn’t necessarily end up where we land,” she said. “Sometimes I’ve found that we were able to pull that off and other times it just took, like, left and right turns, and I’m like, ‘Have we made a mambo, what’s going on?’”
