Carly Rae Jepsen Drops New Single 'Shy Boy' & Details Globe-Trotting Performance!

Carly Rae Jepsen came BACK for music, baby!

The princess of pop bops is back with a new single, perfect for all of the introverted males out there! Months after Jepsen released "The Lonlinest Time" and experienced viral success with the single of the same name, the "Call Me Maybe" songstress released "Shy Boy" on Friday.

Jepsen, 37, is following up a marathon year where she also released the single "Western Wind" and performed many live shows.

A decade after the release of "Call Me Maybe" Jepsen got serious with understanding what it meant to get introspective with herself. The Blast took a look at all things behind Jepsen's latest LP.

Before we take a look at 'CRJ's "Shy Boy," let's look back at how Jepsen came to terms with feeling and processing huge feelings during an unprecedented period in history: the global COVID-19 pandemic.

After millions of listeners had likely branded Jepsen as a one-hit wonder with 2012's "Call Me Maybe," Jepsen had gone on to release several cult classic albums including "Emotion" and "Dedicated."

Jepsen's next album would coincide with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2020. She would begin creating "The Loneliest Time" during a period when many of us were collectively thinking about spending endless time alone. For Jepsen, the focus of living 'The Loneliest Time" meant coming to terms with being someone who feels every feeling quite differently.

She discussed the concept with The Cut upon the album's release.

"It's been a lifelong inquiry that I've had with myself about my relationship with loneliness," Jepsen told the publication per The Blast, "The idea that you have to be lonely with yourself- like, 'Go be alone and be happy'- that's b*lls**t to me. You become really happy when you know you have connections out there," she said.

Jepsen would go on to note "Loneliness is a similar thing to love. It's felt everywhere by everyone at different moments in their life."

Jepsen took a break from exploring the intricate concept of loneliness to cut to the party feeling! "Shy Boy" turns up the 'song of summer' vibes and gets heavy on the fun and flirty vibes. She would also dip into those with the track "Beach House" from "The Loneliest Time."

Jepsen would also turn up the celebration vibes when she was gearing up to release "Shy Boy."

On Friday, the "Surrender My Heart" singer would share a reel on Instagram depicting her special performance at the Glastonbury festival; she would officially debut "Shy Boy" for the audience!

Jepsen's reel shows every bit of her preparation process for Glastonbury, chaotic airport bits and all!

She would give her followers more insight into the experience in her caption. The "Talking To Yourself" singer wrote, "The long journey to debut SHY BOY at the festival of dreams- @glastofest! Steamed my clothes, packed my clothes, left my boy w a quiche and a kiss and made my way to the UK. Trains, planes, and automobiles w a good book and even greater company."

"Made time for important things like rehearsals and desserts! Feeling rather rocked by the time change, I landed on stage shocked to see some 85,000 people there to greet us! I was delighted to be invited and would do it all again in a heartbeat! What a happy release day. Thank you for making it so special," Jepsen concluded.

BBC Music has just released Jepsen's performance from Glastonbury! "Shy Boy" is also available to stream!
