Jepsen Previews Second Song From 'The Loveliest Time,' An 'Intimate' Track!

Jepsen's latest track blends funk and dream pop, but its subject matter isn't so dreamy, according to the "Call Me Maybe" singer's Instagram reel she shared on Monday.

In the caption of the reel, Jepsen gives her followers some insight into "Kollage."

She wrote, "This one is fragile. I am nervous to share something so intimate, but I feel really thrilled too. Here goes everything…  'Leaving you was certainly the hardest part of all but I was living like a servant to a secret I was trying to protect.' My first instinct when I hurt is to pull away from everyone I love, thinking I’m protecting them. From childhood on my idea was to keep smiling even when things hurt," Jepsen explained.

She continued, ''Kollage' is a song about how wrong I was to think this helped anyone. “I did it to myself, I did it to you.” 'The Loveliest Time' celebrates honoring all parts of ourselves… and this song is a big lesson that I keep on learning. It may just be my personal favourite from the album so I couldn’t wait to show you! TLT July 28th" she concluded the post.

"The Loveliest Time" will be a bit different from Jepsen's traditional method of releasing B-Sides intended for her latest releases. She gave some insight into what makes the album unique!

The "Talking To Yourself" songstress wrote in an Instagram post, "...At this point you know me so well I won’t even tease about a b-sides. It’s almost disrespectful because you know that it’s coming,” Jepsen shared. “And in fact this is the time to announce that it’s here. It’s done and a month from now ‘The Loveliest Time’ will be all yours. I can’t really call it a b-sides as if these were cast off ideas- it’s the completed set to a body of work that taught me so much about love and loneliness and myself…" (per The Blast)

"The Loveliest Time" will be released on July 28th!
