The track comes as Carly's latest stint since the 2020 single Me and the Boys in the Band. She had previously teased Western Wind with billboards featuring new promo art, alongside a prerecorded message announcing the new music.

"Hello, you've reached the Carly Rae Jepsen hotline. Text me here to stay in the loop about all kinds of things: new music, tour, secrets that I haven't even come up with yet," Jepsen said in the message, as per PEOPLE. 

In September last year, Jepsen marked 10 years of her debut single Call Me Maybe with a long heartfelt note. Thanking fans for their constant support, she wrote, "Mostly I want to say thank you all for the joyous videos, silly dances, and wild nights together in different countries! You have opened my world and my heart with this adventure of a song and I could not be more grateful to you all."

She added, "To Josh [Ramsay] and Tavish [Crowe] who helped me pen this bad boy... who would have thunk it, hey? When lightning strikes feel lucky and feel grateful. I know I do every single day! Also I know my former boss is very relieved because I was a TERRIBLE waitress. (sic)" 

Call Me Maybe is Carly's only track to have made it to the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100
