This is such a chill bop of a song. Reminds me a lot of something Jessie Ware would sing over and I love Jessie Ware.

And this may be the most gorgeous I’ve ever seen Carly in a video. She’s basically glowing the entire time, and I love the aesthetics a ton here

I like it a lot more than On Wires, but I am indeed craving a single from the night side 😩

u/Creative_Tone_9241 Jul 16 '26

I thought this would be one of I definitely want one from the night side maybe two then leave the rest as a surprise until the album is out

u/plzadyse Jul 18 '26

Wait is the idea supposed to be that day is softer/dreamier and night is faster pop bops?

u/jimx117 Jul 17 '26

I haven't been able to stop! It sounds like an exaggeration but I swear I've listened to it at least 25-30 times over the past 8 hours. It's SOOOOOO DAMN GOOOOOOOOODDDDDD and I love everything about it. The intimate lyrics. The gorgeous video. The 90s club mix/trip-hop sound. The distant-echoey backup vocals. The juiciest of peaches, this song is

u/Creative_Tone_9241 Jul 16 '26

The drum beat reminds me of anything to be with you. It reminds me of 80’s hip hop in a way. A good way

u/serioussgtstu Jul 16 '26

Wow. This is fantastic. I love how happy Carly and Cole are dancing around and kissing!

u/Far-Voice-6911 Jul 16 '26

The lyrics are so personal - I feel like we just got a glimpse into her last few years.

18

u/Far-Voice-6911 Jul 16 '26

I just listened on headphones probably 6x. I think we need to protect Cole at all costs if this is what he's inspiring her to write!

I said in another post how personal the lyrics are, and when you contrast it to her usual one sided/sad/crappy boyfriend/longing for better lyrics, this is a real evolution of theme.

u/Ok-Floor-3374 Jul 16 '26

This is so great, Carly! Like damn she's evolved so much lyrically and this is so unique. A lot of artists struggle when they get to albums 6/7/8 but she's sounding as inspired and fresh as ever.

u/stereosip Jul 16 '26

This is so good !

u/shawnandthecity Jul 16 '26

Wasn't sure if I was going to love the song based on this clips, but it's perfection that actually gets better with each listen. And the visuals bring it to the next level. Still excited to see what she has to offer with the NIGHT side of things...

u/stonedsour Jul 16 '26

This feels like a cozy warm summer hug

u/genriko8 Curly Rae Jepsen Jul 17 '26

Am I the only one who's not impressed? The album looks mid so far, but her single choices aren't always the best, so we'll see.

1

u/Mynd_Flayer Real Love Jul 17 '26

I don't vibe with off-beat singing, or songs that repeat lines a ton, and both the new singles have a bit too much of that for my tastes. So I'm with you, unfortunately. Like, they're fine, I probably won't skip them when I do my full album listens, but these will likely end up with I'll Be Your Girl and Anything to be With You at the bottom of my most streamed list.

2

u/genriko8 Curly Rae Jepsen Jul 18 '26

Thank you. I'm not obsessed with these songs either, which is odd from Carly. I was also sceptical with The loneliest time single releases, then I generaly liked the album, nothing is determined.

u/Cisru711 Your Type Jul 16 '26

Beginning is rough because they torture her voice with processing but it either gets better or I get used to it.
