Carly Rae Jepsen has announced a new eight-song collection of B-sides from her recent double album Day and Night, titled Day and Night (Continued). The release drops this Friday, and the Canadian singer has been teasing it online with a playful post about fans who have been waiting for more music.
“B side lovers I see you and I didn’t forget our not so secret pact! Let’s get freaky,” Jepsen wrote on her social media. The collection includes eight tracks, with titles like “Yes,” “Wedding Season,” “Lullaby,” and “In Pure Faith.”
B Sides History
Day and Night (Continued) is the latest in a long line of B-sides releases from Jepsen. The singer has been issuing these collections since 2016, when she released Emotion: Side B. Most CRJ B sides albums have arrived about a year after the original work was released, but this one is here less than a month after Day and Night arrived.
Time will only tell if she plans on releasing additional tracks from the double album’s recording sessions.
Track List Breakdown
The eight-song collection splits into two sides, mirroring the day-and-night theme of the main album. Here is the full track list:
- Side A (Day)
- Reaching For a Star
- Sixteen and Rising
- Wedding Season
- Lullaby
- Side B (Night)
- Yes
- Muscle Memory
- Love Depressed
- In Pure Faith
The titles suggest a mix of moods. “Reaching For a Star” and “Sixteen and Rising” sound hopeful, while “Yes” and “Wedding Season” could be playful or romantic, depending on the arrangement. “Lullaby” and “In Pure Faith” both carry a quiet, reflective feel, while “Love Depressed” and “Muscle Memory” hint at darker, more introspective territory. The split between the two sides — day tracks on one, night tracks on the other — gives the collection a structure that echoes the title of the main album.
The Double Album Context
Day and Night is Jepsen’s eighth record and first double album. The genre-trotting LP features singles “On Wires,” “After All,” “Don’t Leave Me on the Dancefloor,” and “Versailles.” Next year, she’ll trek across North America on the Day and Night Tour, including her debut performance at New York City’s Madison Square Garden.
The album came out last month, and the B-sides collection follows closely behind.
Tour Dates and Beyond
Jepsen is also promoting a major tour to support the album. The Day and Night Tour kicks off next year and will take her across North America. The highlight is her debut performance at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
Jepsen is also working on a stage musical adaptation of 10 Things I Hate About You. She is co-writing the songs, and Lena Dunham is co-writing the book. It’s set to open on Broadway in August 2027.
What Fans Get
The B-sides collection is a gift for anyone who wanted more from Day and Night. Jepsen has built a career on releasing extra material, and this release continues that tradition. The quick turnaround means fans don’t have to wait a year to hear the bonus tracks.
The announcement also carries a personal touch. Jepsen’s social-media post about fans who love B-sides reads like she is talking directly to her audience, not just marketing a product.

Our Take
This is a generous move from Jepsen. She has given fans eight new songs without making them wait a year, and she has done it with a sense of humor about the whole enterprise.
The quick turnaround suggests she has more material from the Day and Night sessions that might see the light of day. Fans should watch this space.
The B-sides collection is a reminder that Jepsen still operates with a fan-first mentality. She knows what her listeners want, and she delivers it without fuss. This Friday, they get eight more songs to add to their collection.
