Carly Rae Jepsen<\/a> has released \u201cDon\u2019t Leave Me on the Dance Floor<\/a>,\u201d the first track she has shared from the night half of her forthcoming double album Day and Night. The 24-track album is due September 18 via Interscope Records.<\/p>\n

Jepsen wrote \u201cDon\u2019t Leave Me on the Dance Floor\u201d with producers CJ Baran and Arthur Besnainou. The song pairs lyrics about fear of abandonment with a club-focused arrangement, reflecting the album\u2019s split between the sunlit, left-field pop of its day side and the more maximalist dance direction of night. Jepsen said the idea took shape after recording in Sweden and traveling to London to see ABBA Voyage. \u201cI came home with a mission of making my own ABBA-esque pop song,\u201d she said, adding that she wanted \u201ca hook that made you feel like you had to participate and sing along.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

The accompanying video marks the music video directorial debut of playwright, actor and screenwriter Jeremy O. Harris, whose Slave Play received 12 Tony nominations. Alden Ehrenreich stars alongside Jepsen, with Olivia Washington playing his lover. After a difficult phone call, Ehrenreich\u2019s character enters a dance hall and moves through a choreographed performance as Jepsen sings beneath a disco ball and chandeliers. Marc Crousillat, whose recent credits include Clairo\u2019s \u201cTerrapin\u201d video and Harris\u2019 Spirit of the People, served as choreographer. Harris said the song made him think about relationships \u201con the brink\u201d and the effort involved in staying together.<\/p>\n

The release comes ahead of Jepsen\u2019s September 27 headline appearance at New York City\u2019s All Things Go Festival, which an announcement identifies as her first live performance of 2026. \u201cOn Wires\u201d and \u201cAfter All\u201d introduced the Day and Night era earlier this year, with Clash highlighting the tension in \u201cOn Wires\u201d and Consequence describing \u201cAfter All\u201d as warm and lived-in. Jepsen\u2019s catalog includes 2012\u2019s \u201cCall Me Maybe,\u201d which topped charts in more than 47 countries and earned two Grammy nominations, and 2015\u2019s E\u2022MO\u2022TION, which has surpassed one billion streams worldwide. Her later albums include 2019\u2019s Dedicated, 2022\u2019s The Loneliest Time, and the B-sides collections E\u2022MO\u2022TION Side B, Dedicated Side B, and The Loveliest Time.\n<\/p>\n
