Carly Rae Jepsen returns with the playful and flirtatious track “Yes” from her latest album Day and Night (Continued). The song showcases her signature pop sensibility while exploring the nervous excitement of new romance. With its catchy hooks and earnest questioning, it quickly becomes a standout moment on the record.
“Yes” captures the tentative back‑and‑forth of a budding connection, as Jepsen asks a series of intimate questions that range from the innocent to the daring. The lyrics weave together moments of curiosity, vulnerability, and bold desire, ultimately culminating in an affirmative chorus that celebrates saying “yes” to love and possibility.
Do you wanna go to the beach?
Do you wanna get close to me?
I’m afraid of every move but
I’m still leaning into you
Do you wanna do something sweet?
Do you wanna get naked?
Are you open to real love?
All the possibilities
What if it all works out?
What if it all works out?
I’ve never had that thought before
Now I wonder
Taste it down and jump in and
Kiss me hard, the room is spinning
I don’t know what happens next
Ask me and the answer is
Do you wanna be friends with me?
Do you wanna get something to eat?
Do you wanna come over, watch a movie?
And you know what that means
Do you wanna make love to me?
Do you wanna try everything?
Looking into your eyes
I know what’s happening
I don’t know where it leads
All of the mystery
Are you gonna be good to me?
Yes, yes, yes
(Yes) Yes, yes, yes
Everyone tries
Life has its favorites
You came as a surprise
I wanna take it to the bedroom
Would you like to?
Everyone tells themselves that it doesn’t matter
That love’s just a flavor
But that’s what I’m after and I want you
Would you like to?
(Yes)
Taste it down and jump in and
Kiss me hard, the room is spinning
I don’t know what happens next
Ask me and the answer is
Do you wanna be friends with me?
Do you wanna get something to eat?
Do you wanna come over, watch a movie?
And you know what that means
Do you wanna make love to me?
Do you wanna try everything?
Looking into your eyes
I know what’s happening
I don’t know where it leads
All of the mystery
Are you gonna be good to me?
Yes, yes, yes
(Yes) Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes, yes (Yes, yes)
Yes, yes, yes
Yes, yes (Yes, yes)
Y-y-yes, yes, yes
(Yes, yes, yes, yes) Yes
Fans have praised “Yes” for its candid lyricism and infectious energy, noting that Jepsen’s willingness to ask the questions we all think but rarely voice makes the track feel both relatable and exhilarating. The song has quickly become a fan‑favorite, often highlighted in live performances for its sing‑along chorus and playful spirit.
