The couple met while Jepsen was working on the dreamy dance-pop song “So Right” from her 2023 album. The best time Album, one track was co-written and produced by MGN.

“I would have been too shy before to say, 'Do you want to do a sketch at the beginning?' But now that we're so close, it was just really fun and playful to say, 'Let's do this '80s drama sketch at the beginning where you ask me to come over and I say no, but then I come anyway,'” she said of the song's intro, which sees the two briefly chat about whether it would be a good idea for them to hang out together late at night. “You have to get comfortable with someone before you can get to those really playful, joyful, experimental phases.”

At the time, “So Right” was the first song the pair worked on together, but Jepsen said People that it probably wouldn't be the last time. “We're going to travel somewhere and take a little acoustic guitar with us,” she said. “I think you'll see a lot more of us working together on future projects, but this is our first little baby in the world. We're both so excited.”

At the time of going to press, the couple had not yet announced a wedding date.
