Carly Rae Jepsen has released a new song called "Me and the Boys in the Band," in which she pays tribute to her bandmates during this unfortunate break from touring because of the ongoing health crisis.
The song arrived today with an accompanying video, featuring Jepsen along with the guys who make up her band, shot remotely during the quarantine.
“On the road. That was the life," she says. "I miss travel and performing and my band mates who over the years have become my adopted brothers. Through romantic relationships good and bad I have always found myself again in the late-night conversations with my band. 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."
She adds: "Till then, a from home 'pick me up' song from all of us to you. Me and the boys and the band! Big thanks to Jack Antanoff, Tavish Crowe, Jared Manerika and Nik Pesut for making this jam come together from a distance.”
