Carly Rae Jepsen has shared a new song, “Me and the Boys in the Band.” Made with the help of Jack Antonoff, Tavish Crowe, Jared Manerika, and Nik Pesut, the new song comes with a video directed by Jake Chamseddine. The visual features footage of Jepsen and her band on tour, intercut with video clips of them in their respective quarantines. Check it out below.
“I miss travel and performing and my band mates who over the years have become my adopted brothers,” Jepsen said in a statement. “Here’s to all the shows we have played and have yet to play. The late-night dancers we turn into on the long bus drives and the tourists we become in the early mornings. Here’s to nostalgia city and keeping close the ones that know you best. Can’t wait for more.”
“Me and the Boys in the Band” is Jepsen’s first new single since May, when she released Dedicated Side B, the companion to last year’s Dedicated.
