After All

Carly Rae Jepsen released the single "After All" as the lead promotional track for her eighth studio album Day and Night on July 16, 2026. The song serves as a mature evolution of her sound, blending soulful textures with disco-house rhythms to explore themes of married life and motherhood rather than youthful romance. Produced by Kyle Shearer and co-written alongside Nate Cyphert, the track anchors an eight-track collection that shifts toward a richer sonic landscape compared to her previous pop-focused work.

The accompanying music video directed by Aerin Moreno visually reinforces the album's intimate focus on domestic joy. It depicts a pregnant Jepsen wandering through a house after a dinner party, grounding the project in personal narrative. Critics have praised the polished production and dance-oriented energy that defines this new chapter in her discography. [edit]
