Call Me Maybe was far too big for her to handle at that point in her career. The song was everywhere and it got to the stage where it annoyed more people than it didn't. People probably just didn't want to listen to anything she released after it because they've heard enough of her to last them a lifetime.
Call Me Maybe was many times bigger than she was as an artist, and because she was relatively unknown before, she never quite had the ability to cement her status as a pop girl outside of that one song.
