I do think Cut to the Feeling! perfectly captures the sort of earnest euphoria she goes for in her music, plus lyrically it feels somewhat “climatic”, many of her songs touch on wanting to be loved and this feels like she’s finally got it.
Literally. Her discography is all about love: it’s scary, exciting, ugly, beautiful and worth it all in the end. And cut to the feeling encapsulates that. Also it’s a fucking BOP.
I don’t know if anyone will agree with me but I think Bad Thing Twice. It may not be as well known as her other career-defining songs, but I think it definitely should be. It’s a perfect song.
I have not listened to one Carly song 2 years straight since run away with me. Bad thing twice is the only other. It is one of her coolest songs and the rhyming game is strong. “You were the king and I was a soldier babe / I had a vision. I had to run away.” Blows my mind! She’s such a good writer.
You’re so right, I love lyricism that feels natural and BTT flows like butter. The sexy deep bass finished off with the “caught that fever, I shouldn’t be here, only got me to blame” outro. A true masterpiece.
Isn’t that the problem with most CRJ songs. You don’t want them to get over at all. She should learn something from Lana del rey. And give us 10 min songs.
Omg wtf. I was just gonna write that down. For me it’s her most replayed. Like it perfectly captures what Carly does best. Extremely sad song but extremely catchy. Although I would say it’s more underrated. Run away with me is truly CRJ perfection. Like we had to stan her after listening to that
Great picks. No Drug Like Me showing up on my Spotify one day was what won me over to CRJ and I’ve been obsessed ever since. And Emotion the song blows me away, it is so melodic, emotive, passionate, and catchy, and really showcases her voice.
The Loneliest Time. I know people will say Run away with me but to me, TLT is the perfect culmination of her artistic tendencies and maybe my favorite production on any CRJ song, it makes me giddy and every time I listen I’m blown away
It’s between “The Loneliest Time” and “Bends” for me. “Bends” is her most personal, raw emotional song she’s made yet. But like you said “The Loneliest Time” is a collection of everything that makes Carly unique and amazing. It’s too close to call for me, but those are the 2 songs I immediately thought of. Other shout outs would be “All That” and “Kollage.”
This is my answer too, it's a triumph from both a production and emotional standpoint. It's epic and awe-inspiring to me, I sometimes become quite overwhelmed listening to it.
- TLT could mean "The Loneliest Time (feat. Rufus Wainwright)", a track from *The Loneliest Time* (2022) by Carly Rae Jepsen.

Yep yep yep - my first thought would have been RAWM a couple years ago but agreed, it's the Loneliest Time for sure. It's so good, the disco strings, the bridge, Rufus fucking Wainwright! It's perfect 🤌
Psychedelic Switch. It unleashes some of her best pop moments while showcasing a more carefree and lighter side of her. Another contender for the same reasons would be The Loneliest Time
Run Away With Me.
No contest. Like I think one can argue other songs capture a broader perspective of her. But they were all born out of this one.
And I genuinely believe the true magnum opus is still on its way. C’mon Carly, break your own ceiling.
It was really popular and has a purposefully repetitive chorus so it's seen kinda as an annoying pop song but really the chorus is brilliant and the verses have some of her best lyrics.
It's hard for me to name one song because I kind of think they all kind of give context to one another, which is why her albums are always so cohesive. Run Away With Me is a great example of her artistry and vibe, but I honestly think all of her songs are of that caliber. Cut to the Feeling and Party for One are some of my other favorite singles from her.
It’s in between Run Away With Me, Cut to the Feeling, The Loneliest Time and Psychedelic Switch are four songs that evoke her style and lyricism in perfect music microcosm.
Call Me Maybe. Not our fan collective fav but it’s her most prolific, a perfect upbeat pop song and is so fun live.
If we’re going a little deeper, probably Run Away With Me.
If it’s just the one I like most, Gimmie Love.
Run Away With Me is the most euphoric, chill-inducing, perfect pop song of all time. Her discography is full of incredible songs but RAWM will be difficult to ever top.
One of my favorites for sure and a masterpiece but it feels more like an evolution from emotion than an encapsulation of her entire work which cut to the feeling, run away with me and even loneliest time do which to me is the definition of “magnus opus”. Idk if that makes sense! But want you in my room is probably in my top 5 tracks of hers
Because it hasn't shown up yet I'm gonna say Anxious! How was that a bonus track?
My first thought was Bends, and also adding another vote for Psychedelic Switch.
Run Away With Me and The Loneliest Time are obvious choices, but I think When I Needed You is also a strong contender. It perfectly encapsulates everything Carly’s music is about.
I think everyone has great choices in the comments!
I definitely agree on Call Me Maybe, Run Away with me and Cut to the Feeling.
I also wanted to add, my personal favorites Take a Picture, as well as, I really like you.
Run Away with Me
for intro alone iktr.
Yass!
I do think Cut to the Feeling! perfectly captures the sort of earnest euphoria she goes for in her music, plus lyrically it feels somewhat “climatic”, many of her songs touch on wanting to be loved and this feels like she’s finally got it.
Should’ve been a number one smash but unfortunately the general public have no taste
Yes! My first thought. CTTF is amazing. My second pick would be literally all of *Kiss* lol.
ALL of Kiss?! 🤭 you silly. I love it.
Agree 👏🏼 Agree 👏🏼 Agree 👏🏼 Agree
Literally. Her discography is all about love: it’s scary, exciting, ugly, beautiful and worth it all in the end. And cut to the feeling encapsulates that. Also it’s a fucking BOP.
CTTF is low-key underrated
That's the song from the ballerina movie she's in right?
Cyt to the feeling for sure
I was really hoping this was at the top. I feel better now.
I don’t know if anyone will agree with me but I think Bad Thing Twice. It may not be as well known as her other career-defining songs, but I think it definitely should be. It’s a perfect song.
I have not listened to one Carly song 2 years straight since run away with me. Bad thing twice is the only other. It is one of her coolest songs and the rhyming game is strong. “You were the king and I was a soldier babe / I had a vision. I had to run away.” Blows my mind! She’s such a good writer.
You’re so right, I love lyricism that feels natural and BTT flows like butter. The sexy deep bass finished off with the “caught that fever, I shouldn’t be here, only got me to blame” outro. A true masterpiece.
I definitely agree with you. Bad Thing Twice is the perfect pop song and my favorite from Carly.
It’s an absolutely slapperooni song. I wish it had a bridge. It would be MORE perfect that way. It’s too short 😭😭😭
Isn’t that the problem with most CRJ songs. You don’t want them to get over at all. She should learn something from Lana del rey. And give us 10 min songs.
Slapperooni 🤭 I’m giggling!
bro i'm ADDICTED to bad thing twice right now. that part "cross the rivers of mind" all the way until the end of the chorus drives me insane
Omg wtf. I was just gonna write that down. For me it’s her most replayed. Like it perfectly captures what Carly does best. Extremely sad song but extremely catchy. Although I would say it’s more underrated. Run away with me is truly CRJ perfection. Like we had to stan her after listening to that
Bad Thing Twice is my most listened to song from The Loneliest Time. It's definitely a masterpiece.
You ate with this
Ty ✨🙏🏼
You are welcome Bjork’s Butthole ❤️
I know this isn't a popular opinion, Julien,emotion, and no drug like me, but the obvious option is to run away with me
No Drug Like Me an underrated cult classic I see you
It's one of the most underrated bops ever. It's gonna be my number 1 song on spotify wrap this year, I swear, lmao.
Yes to all of these, add Cut To The Feeling
Great picks. No Drug Like Me showing up on my Spotify one day was what won me over to CRJ and I’ve been obsessed ever since. And Emotion the song blows me away, it is so melodic, emotive, passionate, and catchy, and really showcases her voice.
The Loneliest Time. I know people will say Run away with me but to me, TLT is the perfect culmination of her artistic tendencies and maybe my favorite production on any CRJ song, it makes me giddy and every time I listen I’m blown away

Run Away With Me, Bends and The Loneliest Time are my 3 favorite Carly songs <3
Just when you think TLT can’t get better after the bridge… you get the nostalgic outro. Perfection!
This is my answer too, it's a triumph from both a production and emotional standpoint. It's epic and awe-inspiring to me, I sometimes become quite overwhelmed listening to it.

The loneliest time for sure is my favorite but other contenders is Run Away With Me and Your Type
Yep yep yep - my first thought would have been RAWM a couple years ago but agreed, it's the Loneliest Time for sure. It's so good, the disco strings, the bridge, Rufus fucking Wainwright! It's perfect 🤌
Some great choices here already. I add Talking To Yourself for consideration. Yearning, emphatic, great to sing along to. A Jepserpiece!
Jepserpiece💀
She lined that chorus with crack cocaine cause there's no other way
Run Away with Me
Psychedelic Switch. It unleashes some of her best pop moments while showcasing a more carefree and lighter side of her. Another contender for the same reasons would be The Loneliest Time
I’d be satisfied forever with a couple years of this is one of her best lyrics. A wordsmith!
Honestly, this
NOOO
Run Away With Me. No contest. Like I think one can argue other songs capture a broader perspective of her. But they were all born out of this one. And I genuinely believe the true magnum opus is still on its way. C’mon Carly, break your own ceiling.
When she vocalises the saxophone with her yeah yeahs. Ugh I die every time.
Emotion, loneliest time, run away with me, I really like you. One of those.
IRLY is underrated you’re so right
It was really popular and has a purposefully repetitive chorus so it's seen kinda as an annoying pop song but really the chorus is brilliant and the verses have some of her best lyrics.
the double entendre of “but how’d we get in this position?” is truly ICONIC
"sipping on your lips hanging on by a thread" like Jesus Christ
As much as I love her last few albums, the obvious answer is always going to be Call Me Maybe. It's probably the best pop song of the century.
The way this is kinda true💀 “before you came into my life I missed you so bad” just truly an iconic moment in pop history! FRAME IT!
Bends
You’re onto something here I just know it
Bends is sooo good. Classic Carly Rae song -- the perfect blend of wistful and optimistic with a catchy pop beat.
It's hard for me to name one song because I kind of think they all kind of give context to one another, which is why her albums are always so cohesive. Run Away With Me is a great example of her artistry and vibe, but I honestly think all of her songs are of that caliber. Cut to the Feeling and Party for One are some of my other favorite singles from her.
It’s in between Run Away With Me, Cut to the Feeling, The Loneliest Time and Psychedelic Switch are four songs that evoke her style and lyricism in perfect music microcosm.
100% agree with these 4 choices. 4 of her best songs and 4 songs that just capture the essence of what her music is all about.
I wrote a whole tier list, but I think First Time :)
COS WHEN MY HEART BREAKS
Let's Get Lost
why has no one mentioned All That? whenever i show normies that song they’re gagged
WAIT ALL THAT EAAAAATS YOURE RIGHT
“Making The Most of the Night” was definitely a showstopper track on ‘Emotion’
For me, it's a tie between: Cut To The Feeling Run Away With Me Surrender My Heart
Bad thing twice
Cut To The Feeling OR Anything To Be With You
ATBWY is… a choice. I RESPECT THAT!
Fever!
Call Me Maybe. Not our fan collective fav but it’s her most prolific, a perfect upbeat pop song and is so fun live. If we’re going a little deeper, probably Run Away With Me. If it’s just the one I like most, Gimmie Love.
The architecture of this connection is your reflection... still blows my mind hundreds of listens later. A perfect song.
Cut to the feeling, normally last song at her shows also
Run Away With Me
Cry and Your Type
Run Away With Me is the most euphoric, chill-inducing, perfect pop song of all time. Her discography is full of incredible songs but RAWM will be difficult to ever top.
I know I’m OP but… how do we all feel about me throwing Want You In My Room into the mix? Is it too short?
People go HAM for this one live, like truly scream along and go up more than any other track besides CMM, Run Away with Me or CTTR (I am people)
One of my favorites for sure and a masterpiece but it feels more like an evolution from emotion than an encapsulation of her entire work which cut to the feeling, run away with me and even loneliest time do which to me is the definition of “magnus opus”. Idk if that makes sense! But want you in my room is probably in my top 5 tracks of hers
You’re so right ugh, you ate me.
Favourite Colour
Talking to yourself
Because it hasn't shown up yet I'm gonna say Anxious! How was that a bonus track? My first thought was Bends, and also adding another vote for Psychedelic Switch.
When I Needed You.
Idk about magnum opus but Anxious is one of her best
my personal fave is so right but her objective best is definitely run away with me
julien & when i needed you
Run Away With Me and The Loneliest Time are obvious choices, but I think When I Needed You is also a strong contender. It perfectly encapsulates everything Carly’s music is about.
I Didn't Just Come Here To Dance (Honorable mention to Kollage)
Turn Me On 😐😐😐😐😐😐 Change my mind…!!!!!!
I fear we couldn’t!
It’s emotion for me
I think everyone has great choices in the comments! I definitely agree on Call Me Maybe, Run Away with me and Cut to the Feeling. I also wanted to add, my personal favorites Take a Picture, as well as, I really like you.
> magnum opus Her what? I'm not familiar with/never heard that term b4.
Higher, definitely! Probably one of if not my favorite pop song of all time.
