Carly Rae Jepsen will release ‘Day And Night (Continued)’, a B-sides follow-up to her 24-track double album, on Friday, Oct. 9
Carly Rae Jepsen is not done with ‘Day And Night’. The Canadian pop singer will release ‘Day And Night (Continued)‘, a B-sides companion to her 24-track double album, this Friday (Oct. 9), extending a project that is barely three weeks old. The new set is expected to add eight songs to a record that already seemed exhaustive, and it keeps alive one of pop’s most reliable fan rituals.
Jepsen broke the news on Instagram. “B-side lovers I see you and I didn’t forget our not so secret pact!” she wrote, before signing off with a playful promise of something more provocative. For her fan base, the message needed no translation.
A Tradition Built on Leftovers
The pact dates back nearly a decade. After 2015’s ‘E•MO•TION‘, the album that recast Jepsen as a critical favorite beyond ‘Call Me Maybe’, she released ‘E•MO•TION: Side B’ the following year. ‘Dedicated’ got the same treatment with ‘Dedicated Side B’ in 2020, and October 2022’s ‘The Loneliest Time’ was followed in July 2023 by ‘The Loveliest Time’, a companion album that skipped the B-side label but kept the spirit. Each release has worked less as a leftovers bin than as a wider mood board for the era it extends.
The strategy suits the business of being Carly Rae Jepsen. Her audience is less a mass market than a devoted community of romantics who treat every new song as an event. B-sides reward that loyalty, keep her catalog active on streaming services and extend each album cycle without the cost of a full new campaign. The approach even extends to fan-favorite rarities: earlier this year, she finally gave the long-circulating ‘Disco Darling’ an official release as a Record Store Day exclusive.
Inside ‘Day And Night’
The parent album was already a statement of abundance. Released Sept. 18 through Schoolboy/Interscope, ‘Day And Night’ is Jepsen’s eighth studio album and her first double album, with 24 tracks divided evenly between a Day disc and a Night disc. She has described the split as the natural result of her tastes diverging between organic, live-instrument songs and darker, synth-based nighttime material. It arrived after a run of singles including ‘On Wires’, ‘After All’, ‘Motivation’ and ‘Versailles’.
The record is shaped by big life changes. In 2025, Jepsen married producer Cole M.G.N., and earlier this year the couple welcomed their first child. Those milestones color both halves: the Day side leans on ’60s folk and ’70s psychedelia for warm, organic love songs, while the Night side moves through French house, Italo disco and ABBA-style drama. Apple Music‘s editors singled out ‘After All’ as its emotional center, and the album has drawn widespread critical acclaim.
What Comes Next
Details on the new tracks remain under wraps, so the biggest open question is which side of the album they will lean toward. Whether the new songs lean bright or nocturnal, they will extend an album that was already designed to be lived in for months. With a 24-track album still settling in, ‘Day And Night (Continued)‘ is a bold bet that her listeners want even more.
History suggests they do. For an artist whose cult has always been built on generosity, offering another handful of songs three weeks after a double album is less excess than character. ‘Day And Night (Continued)’ arrives Friday, Oct. 9.
