carly rae jepsen call me maybe

"Call Me Maybe" is a popular song by Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen. It was initially released on September 20, 2011, as the lead single from her EP Curiosity and later appeared on her second studio album Kiss in 2012. The song was co-written by Jepsen and Tavish Crowe as a folk song but was transformed into a pop track by producer Josh Ramsay. Its style blends teen pop, dance-pop, and bubblegum pop. The song narrates the story of a girl experiencing love at first sight and hoping for a call back from her new crush. It gained massive international success, topping charts in over 15 countries including Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, and several European countries. It spent nine weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in the US and became a diamond-certified single by the RIAA, one of the best-selling digital singles in the US. The music video features a storyline with a twist, where Jepsen has a crush on her neighbor, who eventually turns out to be gay. The song's catchy chorus "Hey, I just met you / And this is crazy / But here's my number / So call me maybe" became iconic and widely recognized in pop culture.
