<P><a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/jepsen_carly_rae/artist.jhtml">Carly Rae Jepsen</a> put out a few calls when it came to enlisting some upbeat A-listers to help her put the finishing touches on her September debut album. And, they called her back. No maybes about it.</P><P>In addition to her duet <a href="/news/articles/1689029/carly-rae-jepsen-owl-city-good-time.jhtml">with Owl City, "Good Time,"</a> she also found some accomplices in other chart-toppers, ranging from <a href="/news/articles/1688409/carly-rae-jepsen-lmfao-billboard-magazine.jhtml">one half of LMFAO</a> to the one and only Justin Bieber.</P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="Carly Rae Jepsen Seeks Refuge And Inspiration In Redfoo" id="vid:814697" width="415" height="255"></div><p></P><P>"The way my album has come together has been sort of a shock for me," Jepsen told MTV News. On her track with Redfoo, the "Call Me Maybe" singer explained, "It's really neat. We made friends and started working on a song together, and we actually started working on a majority of that song over the phone.</P><P>"Also worked with Jack [Antonoff, guitarist] from the band Fun., and that was sort of a random collaboration of us both really digging what the other person did," she continued. "And the last collaboration is a song with Justin Bieber. We're gonna do a little duet. And then the rest are sort of like, I think <a href="/news/articles/1689342/carly-rae-jepsen-call-me-maybe-good-time-competition.jhtml">'Call Me Maybe'</a> is a pretty fair representation. It is pop, but there's also dance-pop and a little hint of folk-pop."</P><P>Obviously, Bieber is more than just a really famous dude she made a song with: He also happens to be her <a href="/news/articles/1682352/carly-rae-jepsen-justin-bieber-duet.jhtml">boss</a>, and she said the track was a bit of a happy accident.</P><P>"It was a song that him and Toby Gad brought to the table and asked [me to record]," she recalled. "Actually, on my first introduction of Bieber, he was like, 'Do you wanna sing this song?' I said, 'Yes!' I love that track as well, so it was exciting."</P><P><i>Which collaboration are you most looking forward to hearing?
