Carly Rae Jepsen dominated the airwaves with her breakout single, "Call Me Maybe" in 2012 and it brought in mixed reactions; however, ten years later, she is once again on people's radars with "The Loneliest Time."
Jepsen just turned 37 years old, and she ironically has been having the time of her life following the release of her sixth studio album "The Loneliest Time."
While many are only aware of her recently-released album and her breakout single, Jepsen has several albums and projects under her belt.
After placing third on the fifth season of "Canadian Idol" in 2007, she went on to release her debut studio album "Tug of War" in 2008.
Her second album, "Kiss," showed a completely different side of Jepsen. It also included "Call Me Maybe," which became a viral sensation.
With the massive success of "Call Me Maybe," it comes as no surprise that the Canadian native has amassed a net worth of $10 million.

Following "Kiss," Jepsen released her critically acclaimed album, "Emotion." In an interview with Elle, the singer-songwriter admitted that the attention garnered by her breakout single made her feel pressured.
"We were walking around New York City, and I was feeling the pressure of having all this attention. But he was like, 'I know what a writer you are-and now you finally have a stage and access to all these people. What if, instead of pressure, you look at this like an opportunity to show all the other sides of what you can do?'" She shared, referring to her guitarist Tavish Crowe. "I was really excited about switching my thinking in that way."
Since then, Jepsen has explored different styles of sound and genres. She released "Dedicated" in 2019 and "Dedicated Side B" in 2020.
However, the pandemic proved to be a pivotal moment in Jepsen's life and music. While she was stuck at home like everybody else, she found herself making music.
"When I was writing he thought in the back of my head was like, 'OK, these songs are for me, but I need to do them for cathartic reasons, and it feels really safe to write with this guy from London who I've never met over Zoom.'
"I could get into some of my family issues or whatever I wanted because no one will ever hear it!"
The songs she initially thought no one would hear became a viral sensation on social media-most especially the bridge of her title track.
