18 March 2026 - Carly Rae Jepsen - Tug Of War

You thought you were getting away with no Carly Rae Jepsen this March?

Nope.  

But we went OLD.  We went to her debut album, from the pre-"Call Me Maybe" times. This was the title song and main single off that album - written by Jepsen and her producer, Ryan Stewart. It was her first Canadian hit - and second single overall - peaking at #36 on the Canadian Top 100 and doing better on adult contemporary radio.

This album and single were released in 2008, a year after her third place Canadian Idol finish.  Bonus points if you can name the top 2. 

It's a song about her begging a guy to stay in with her tonight.  


I love these "before they were really famous" performances, because you can see her excitement, even back then.
