After a stint on Broadway, Carly Rae Jepsen is back to making music since ruling 2013 with the internet-melting pop perfection that was "Call Me Maybe." Does her just-dropped single "I Really Like You" hold a candle to that monster hit? We'd say so! "I Really Like You" is pure bubble-gum bliss with a chorus so stupidly simple -- "I really, really, really, really, really, really like you" -- it has already burrowed into your subconscious and will be something you say to your 4th grade math teacher as your teeth fall out in a dream later tonight. Hit-maker Max Martin co-wrote the song, and Jepsen has also recently collaborated with pop-to-indie crossover dream team Dev Hynes and Ariel Rechtshaid, who produced Solange's True EP and Sky Ferriera's "Everything Is Embarrassing." All signs point to more excellence from Jepsen in the coming months. We're ready for another Carly Rae summer.
