Carly Rae Jepsen Recorded a Rap Verse, Says It Was 'Terrifying'

2017 is starting off on a weird-yet-awesome note for Carly Rae Jepsen. The Emotion singer is set to remake Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's 1988 hit "It Takes Two" with Lil Yachty and producer Mike Will Made-It for an upcoming Target-sponsored music video. And our girl apparently drops a blazing, fire verse for the track.

"I was like, 'This is too weird to say no to!'" Jepsen told Entertainment Weekly, who premiered a clip of the upcoming remake. She went on:

"I got a late-night phone call from my A&R person, who was like, 'We're missing one verse, and they're wondering if you wouldn't mind writing a rap and coming in and recording it tonight?' I was like, 'Uh, you guys realize I don't rap, right? That sounds crazy.'"

The singer said how the experience was "one of the most intimidating moments of my career," but it was ultimately positive: "Being in the room with Mike Will and Yachty and 16 other friends of theirs just partying. They're like, 'Alright, go perform your first-ever rap in front of actual professional rappers!' There’s nothing more terrifying than that. But they were really helpful."
