Carly Rae Jepsen Wants to Party in ‘Versailles’ Music Video
Carly Rae Jepsen is searching for the perfect party in the music video for her new single “Versailles.” The song, off the singer’s new double LP Day and Night, was inspired by Sofia Coppola’s film Marie Antoinette. Jepsen wrote the track with Elias Kapari, Noonie Bao, and Markus Krunegård, with production by Kapari.
The music video for “Versailles” was filmed in Los Angeles and directed by Kanya Iwana. It sees Jepsen dancing at a party as she imagines herself at the famous French chateau.
“I wanna party in Versailles/ I wanna see it in the nighttime,” she croons over the beat. “We’ll go all night just to feel something/ And then we’ll lose our heads/ For the people we’ve forgotten/ Marie Antoinette but modern.”
Day and Night, Jepsen’s first album of new music since 2023’s The Loveliest Time, dropped today. The singer previously shared several tracks, including a music video for ABBA-inspired song “Don’t Leave Me on the Dance Floor.” The album features 24 tracks, with each LP comprising 12 songs corresponding to the Day and Night theme.

Jepsen began dropping hints of a new album in June. Keeping with the Day and Night theme, her official website played snippets of two different instrumentals (for 12 hours each) on June 1; one of the tracks being “After All.” Later, she began posting postcard-like images twice a day to her social media accounts on June 11, captioned by a lyric, location, and timestamp.
On Sept. 27, Jepsen will play a special sunset set at New York City’s All Things Go Festival, marking her first live performance of the year.
