Carly Rae Jepsen's New Song Is Totally '80s

by Alex Kritselis

I really, really like this one: Over the weekend, Carly Rae Jepsen debuted a new song on Saturday Night Live called "All That," and it's an '80s-tastic slow jam you'll fall in love with immediately. According to Rolling Stone, Jepsen collaborated on the glorious track with high-profile producers Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid (the duo behind Sky Ferreira's "Everything Is Embarrassing"). It will instantly transport you back to high school prom circa 1987 — no flux capacitor needed!

The scene: You're slow dancing with the person of your dreams. There are big, poofy sleeves everywhere. The smell of Aquanet is in the air. It's magical; it's intoxicating! Sigh. You never want the night to end. "All That" definitely delivers the '80s goodness the 29-year-old singer promised we'd hear on her upcoming new album, and I couldn't be more pleased.

On the song's first verse, she sings:

I wanna play this for you all the time

I wanna play this for you when you're feeling used and tired

I wanna make the best so you want more

Just let me in your arms, just let me in your arms

I'll be the magic you ever see

You can always rely on me to help you do what you want to do

I wanna be the best you've ever known

Just let me in your arms, just let me in your arms

The chorus will give you all the feels — every single last one of 'em:

Show me if you want me, if I'm all that

I will be there, I will be your friend

Show me if you want me, if I'm all that

I will be there, I will be your friend

"I Really Like You" might not be the big, successful comeback single Jepsen's fans were hoping for, but "All That" proves there are still plenty of reasons to be excited for her new project. I can't wait to hear more.
