Lest non-believers think "Call Me Maybe" would be the pinnacle of Carly Rae Jepsen's career, the pop singer is back with a really, really, really, really, really, really (sorry) catchy new single: "I Really Like You."
Jepsen dropped her new earworm on Sunday and performed the single on Good Morning America on Monday. It's bubblegum pop in its purest form, from its heavily layered production values to its gooey and repetitive lyrics (yes, she says "really" six times in a row).
Though it still has a long way to go to surpass "Call Me Maybe," which spent 37 weeks on the Billboard charts in 2012, "I Really Like You" has summer anthem potential.

Why are people acting like @carlyraejepsen hasn't already released an album with 15 pop songs just as excellent as "I Really Like You"?— jeremy cabalona (@jeremycabo) March 2, 2015

I don't think Carly Rae Jepsen could ever be the Queen of Pop, but I'll gladly accept her as Stepqueen who has custody on weekends.— bobby finger (@bobbyfinger) March 2, 2015
