The Loveliest Time in 2022

Their collaboration eventually turned into the couple's "meet-cute" while they created her song "So Right" and the vocal skit that pairs with it.
"You have to get to a certain level of comfort with somebody before you can get to those really playful, joyful, experimental places," Jepsen said of the process.
Since that album, the couple have been writing more music together.
"We'll go travelling somewhere, and we'll bring a little acoustic guitar," she said. "I think you'll see a lot more of our collaboration together for future projects, but this is our first little baby out in the world. We're both so excited."
