Carly Rae Jepsen's new album EMOTION is still a month and a few days away, but she's continuing to roll out pop gems in anticipation. Today (July 17), the "Call Me Maybe" singer has returned with a gleeful, earworm single "Run Away With Me," complete with a fittingly adorable music video.
"Run Away With Me" maintains the sort of glitzy, '80s-inspired production that Jepsen first explored on "I Really Like You." With the same radiating personality and positivity, Jepsen and her man have moved past the "I like you" phase and now she wants to explore the world together.
"I'll run away with you / 'Cause you make me feel like I could be driving you all night / And I'll find your lips in the streetlights / I wanna be there with you," Jepsen sings before declaring that she'll be "your sinner in secret."
Paired with a hook so infectious, bubblegummy and peppy, "Run Away With Me" could finally be the track that helps to bring EMOTION to "Call Me Maybe" levels of hype. At least, that's what it deserves.
The accompanying music video features Jepsen running around gleefully in all of the cities that you can run away with her to. Grabbing her man's hand on occasion, Jepsen rides the subway in New York City, sings karaoke in Tokyo, plays in a London fountain and rides up the elevator to the top of the Eiffel Tower in Paris.
The clip is a fitting carefree, happy and loving visual. Who wouldn't want to run away with Carly Rae?
"Run Away With Me" is the fourth single from Jepsen's upcoming sophomore album EMOTION. It follows the release of "I Really Like You," "All That" and "EMOTION." The album is expected to be released on Aug. 21.
