Underrated pop star Carly Rae Jepsen has released a new post-bad date bop called “Let’s Be Friends” just in time for Valentine’s Day. The song follows her previously released “Want You In My Room” and was written by Jepsen, Christopher J Baran and Ben Romans, who both also produced the new track. “’Let’s Be Friends’ is about the little lie we all share to soften the blow of a breakup,” Jepsen stated in a press release. “This Valentine’s Day I’d prefer to just rip off the band aid. See you never!” Check it out below. No word yet if the track will be included on a new album.
She also announced a few new west coast tour dates starting this spring in between Coachella, where she is set to perform alongside headliners Rage Against the Machine, Travis Scott and Frank Ocean. The dates include stops in Oakland, Seattle and Portland with tickets going on sale on Valentine’s Day, February 14th at 10 am PST. Fans can purchase tickets here. She is also is scheduled to play Governor’s Ball in New York this June along with Tame Impala, Vampire Weekend, Stevie Nicks, Miley Cyrus and many more.
