“Nicki was perfect for the song, because she is sexy and powerful,” the Call Me Maybe crooner, 27, who is dating singer-songwriter Matthew Koma, tells me this week in advance of her BleauLive performance taking place at Fontainebleau Miami Beach on Friday.
“Ending a relationship takes all the confidence you've got. And it's such a breakup anthem that the song didn't feel finished without her.”

"It’s a fun thing to think about," Carly says. "Usually, I take it a year at a time. I do this thing where I have this bed sheet, and I pin it to the wall. I get markers, and draw out this map of what’s next, and what I have coming. It always ends up being completely different from my plans. I’ve learned, if anything, to expect the unexpected."
Catch Carly Rae Jepsen performing at BleauLive at Fontainebleau Miami Beach tomorrow.
