Last week was the week that the entire world got their Spotify Wrapped. Shockingly, mine is dominated by songs and artlists I post about on this blog.
This includes my most listened to artist according to Spotify, Charlotte Cardin. I dispute that somewhat, and I will angrily discuss that more someday, but going on their word alone, that's it. But I definitely did listen to a LOT of Charlotte Cardin, without shame.
I started going down my list of most listened to songs in 2024, and said I would make posts about the ones that have not yet been posted. I did not think I'd have to go all the way down to 16 (to be fair, one of the top 15 is a scheduled post for 2025, but it is already written). And it's a great song!
It's also not REALLY about marrying Jim Carrey. In her words in an interview with the Globe and Mail:
"I was always a fan of Jim Carrey’s acting, and I was going through a bit of hard time during the summer we were writing this album, so my producer suggested I listen to some of his talks about the ego. I went home that night and watched all his interviews and speeches about how our fears and desires to fit the mould are the main things holding us back from achieving our goals and growing into the person we should be."
The song is about her letting go of her ego. And, her multiple-Juno-award-winning Celine-comparing ego was probably being fed pretty abundantly. But instead, she turned it into a fantastic song.
About marrying Jim Carrey.
By the way, YES, he knows about the song, and YES, he loves it.
Of course she performs the song live. It is performed without a hint of ego.
