After studying musical theatre for most of her school life and while in university, Jepsen garnered mainstream attention after placing third on the fifth season of Canadian Idol in 2007. In 2008, Jepsen released her folk-influenced debut studio album Tug of War in Canada before it was internationally released in 2011.

Jepsen's breakthrough came in 2012 with her acclaimed single "Call Me Maybe", which was declared the best-selling single of that year, sold over 18 million copies, reached number one in more than 19 countries, and led to major record deals with Schoolboy Records and Interscope Records. Jepsen's sophomore studio album, Kiss, was released later that year and included the single "Good Time" with Owl City; both charted in the top ten in Canada and the United States. In 2014, Jepsen made her Broadway theatre stage debut, playing the titular character in Cinderella for 12 weeks. The following year, she released her third studio album, Emotion, influenced by 1980s music, dance-pop and synth-pop, which included the singles, "I Really Like You", "Your Type" and "Run Away with Me". In 2016, Jepsen performed in the television special Grease: Live and voiced in the animated film Ballerina.

In 2019, she released the Dance Club Songs number-one single "OMG" alongside Gryffin, and her fourth studio album, Dedicated, which included the singles "Party for One", "Now That I Found You", and "No Drug Like Me", along with a B-side follow-up titled Dedicated Side B a year later. Her sixth studio album, The Loneliest Time, which includes the singles "Western Wind", "Beach House" and the title track, a collaboration with Rufus Wainwright, was released in October 2022, and its companion album, The Loveliest Time, followed in July 2023.

Jepsen has received three Juno Awards, three Billboard Music Awards, and an Allan Slaight Award. She has also been nominated for Grammy Awards, MTV Video Music Awards, Polaris Music Prize and People's Choice Awards.{{cite magazine | url=https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/carly-rae-jepsen-named-billboards-rising-star-of-2012-474480/ | title=Carly Rae Jepsen Named Billboard's 'Rising Star' of 2012 | magazine=Billboard | date=October 25, 2012}}{{cite web | url=https://www.canadaswalkoffame.com/inductee/carly-rae-jepsen | title=2013 Allan Slaight Award Recipient Carly Rae Jepsen | publisher=Canada's Walk of Fame}} Jepsen ranked number 75 on Billboard Top Women Artists of the 21st Century Chart published on March 14, 2025.{{cite web |last1=Zellner |first1=Trevor Anderson,Jim Asker,Pamela Bustios,Keith Caulfield,Eric Frankenberg,Kevin Rutherford,Gary Trust,Xander |title=Billboard’s Top 100 Women Artists of the 21st Century Chart, Nos. 100-61 |url=https://www.billboard.com/lists/top-women-artists-21st-century-chart/no-75-carly-rae-jepsen/ |website=Billboard |access-date=15 March 2025 |date=14 March 2025}}
