The punchy synth-pop track—which Jepsen says was [inspired by the time she fell for a gay man](http://www.popjustice.com/briefing/eight-observations-from-carly-rae-jepsens-la-pop-concert/137974/ "undefined")—now has a Gia Coppola-directed video to go along with it as the singer prepares to kick off her [Gimmie Love Tour](https://twitter.com/carlyraejepsen/status/648497457039454213?ref%5Fsrc=twsrc%5Etfw "undefined") next week. The video isn’t about her romantic mishaps or her evidently terrible gaydar (odd, considering [she has so many gay fans](http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/carly-rae-jepsen-gay-fans%5F55d62b2de4b0ab468da05b63 "undefined")), but it does reference another period in her life: the video’s gritty “Cinderella story” theme is an obvious nod to Jepsen’s stint in the title role of _Cinderella_ on Broadway last year. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4098029/carly-rae-jepsen-your-type-video/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4098029/carly-rae-jepsen-your-type-video/"},"headline":"Watch Carly Rae Jepsen's Colorful New Video for 'Your Type'","datePublished":"2015-11-03T15:18:32.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-22T12:17:56.877Z","description":"The song is from her stellar new album E•mo•tion","url":"https://time.com/4098029/carly-rae-jepsen-your-type-video/","keywords":["Music"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Nolan Feeney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4098029/carly-rae-jepsen-your-type-video/","name":"Watch Carly Rae Jepsen's Colorful New Video for 'Your Type'"}}]}] ```
