Carly Rae Jepsen Shares ‘On Wires,’ First Glimpse of Double Album Day and Night

Carly Rae Jepsen has released “On Wires,” the first single from her forthcoming double album Day and Night, arriving September 18 via Interscope.

The track, written with longtime collaborators Kyle Shearer (who produced) and Nate Cyphert, opens with a bright piano figure before layered live instrumentation folds into wide electronic production. Jepsen’s vocal sits forward, direct and unguarded, as she pushes a restrained confession — “I want to be more than friends for the week” — against an almost martial beat. The arrangement swells and contracts, her declaration dissolving into echo and then pivoting to a pointed question about where any of it leads.

“On Wires” anchors the Day half of the 24-track project, which Jepsen has described as organic and raw, drawing on live playing and ’70s psychedelic pop. The Night side will explore a sleeker, synth-driven dance mode. It’s a conceptual split she’d teased for weeks through cryptic postcard images, stray lyric fragments, and two instrumental streams that hinted at the album’s dual atmospheres.

Jepsen made the record with a tight circle of collaborators, including Tavish Crowe, Shearer, Cyphert, and Cole M.G.N. It’s her eighth studio full-length, following the companion sets The Loneliest Time (2022) and The Loveliest Time (2023). She’ll launch the album with a headlining set at New York’s All Things Go Festival on September 27, her first live performance of 2026.
