Aug. 18 (UPI) -- Carly Rae Jepsen released a new song and video Tuesday. "Me & the Boys In the Band" connects Jepsen with her bandmates, all playing their parts separately while social distancing.

Jepsen filmed herself singing the song in her backyard and in her bathtub, obscured by bubbles. Her band members played their instruments from their own homes.
