Released by: Universal Music Indonesia
Penikmat musik dancepop pasti girang saat mendapati kehadiran artis pendatang baru, Carly Rae Jepsen. Dirinya berada di bawah asuhan Scooter Braun, yang telah melejitkan Justin Bieber. Sehingga saat single perdananya, 'Call Me Maybe' dirilis, atensi pun terbentuk untuknya. Promo yang dibantu oleh sang senior menjadi salah satu alasan penerimaan single tersebut, dimana sang artis menyebutnya sebagai "lagu ter-catchy yang pernah ia dengar". Percaya enggak percaya, Justin enggak berlebihan dalam hal tersebut. 'Call Me Maybe' adalah sebuah radio hit yang memang membuat kita getol banget ingin terus mendengarkannya.
It's a flirtacious song with high spirit inside. Memamerkan keberanian Carly dalam mengungkapkan perasaan dengan memberikan opsi pada love interest-nya untuk memberi kesempatan. "Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy, but here's my number, so call me maybe". Jiwa muda yang dibawa Carly terwakilkan secara optimal dalam alunan musik yang ceria. Relevan dengan musik dancepop yang sedikit terpengaruh pada poprock mlik Disney Princesses; Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, dan Selena Gomez, sehingga dengan mudahnya Carly menemukan tempat dalam landscape musik masa kini. Dengarkan iring-iringan musik pop yang dinamis di bagian verse, yang kemudian berpadu manis dengan permainan biola di bagian chorus yang memandu beat-nya. Jadilah 'Call Me Maybe' sebagai salah satu lagu paling catchy tahun ini.
Percaya enggak percaya, Carly pernah berkompetisi di ajang Canadian Idol Season 5, tahun 2007 silam. Berhasil menempati posisi 3 dan berhasil merilis debut album di tahun 2008. Tapi sukses secara global yang diperolehnya adalah setelah ditangani secara baik dan benar oleh Scooter sehingga karirnya menjulang ke angkasa. Dan 'Call Me maybe' resminya dirilis pada September 2011, diambil dari album mininya yang berjudul "Curiousity". Lagu ini ditulisnya bersama Josh Ramsay dan Tavish Crowe, yang menjadi bukti bahwa dirinya lebih dari sekedar artis bermodalkan satu lagu super catchy tanpa kemampuan musik sama sekali. Salah satu rising star di 2012 ini.

LYRIC
I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you as it fell
And now you're in my way
I trade my soul for a wish
Pennies and dimes for a kiss I wasn't looking for this
But now you're in my way
Your stare was holdin'
Ripped jeans, skin was showin'
Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey, I just met you and this is crazy,
But here's my number so call me maybe
It's hard to look right at you baby,
But here's my number so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy,
But here's my number, so call me maybe
And all the other boys, try to chase me,
But here's my number so call me maybe
You took your time with the call
I took no time with the fall
You gave me nothing at all, but still you're in my way
I beg and borrow and steal
Have foresight and it's real
I didn't know I would feel it, but it's in my way
Your stare was holdin', Ripped jeans,
Skin was showin' Hot night, wind was blowin'
Where you think you're going, baby?
Hey I just met you
And this is crazy
But here's my number
So call me maybe
It's hard to look right, at you baby,
But here's my number so call me maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
But here's my number so call me maybe
And all the other boys, try to chase me,
But here's my number so call me maybe
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad I missed you so, so bad
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
And you should know that I missed you so, so bad
It's hard to look right at you baby,
But here's my number so call me, maybe
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy,
But here's my number so call me maybe
And all the other boys try to chase me,
But here's my number so call me maybe
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
I missed you so bad I missed you so so bad
Before you came into my life I missed you so bad
And you should know that
So call me maybe
