Carly Rae Jepsen has revealed that she wrote 250 songs for her new album. The singer told Idolator that she felt pressure while recording her new record due to the success of 'Call Me Maybe'.
"I did feel the pressure from 'Call Me Maybe' - I didn't know that was a real thing - and I did feel like I didn't have the answers," Jepsen explained.
"So I was just going to do the only thing that I could see working, which was try everything and then maybe the answer would come and present itself to me. I just tried every kind of door and avenue that I could go down. And eventually, 250 songs later, the cream rose from that and we have an album."
i can believe that, most songwriters write hundreds of songs, and then choose to either give it to someone else, put it on hold or use it for their album
