"Beach House" is a song by the Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen. It was released as the second single from her sixth studio album, The Loneliest Time, on August 5, 2022. Jepsen wrote the track with Alex Hope and Nate Cyphert, the former of whom handled the production with SameSame.[a] Inspired by a displeasing experience, the lyrics explore the uncertain and troubling side of finding love in dating apps and Jepsen's frustration with it. Musically, "Beach House" is an incorporation of disco and pop driven by upbeat guitar and synthesizer instrumentation.
Critics generally praised "Beach House" for what they deemed catchy and playful lyrics and an engaging production. The song charted at number 11 on Billboard Japan's Hot Overseas Songs. Taylor Fauntleroy directed the accompanying music video, which features the events depicted on the song set on a seaside.
Background and release

In February 2020, Carly Rae Jepsen began collecting ideas for her sixth studio album, The Loneliest Time, while embarking on her Dedicated Tour (2019–2020). Her creativity was stimulated by the COVID-19 pandemic, and she transformed an old office space that was a part of her Los Angeles residence into a home studio.[2] On August 1, 2022, Jepsen announced the album and was preceded by the lead single "Western Wind" earlier in May.[3]
Jepsen was inspired to write "Beach House" by someone who invited her to his Malibu beach house for dinner prior to revealing that he already had a girlfriend. Feeling displeased but also reinvigorated, Jepsen the next day brought the song to a studio session with Alex Hope and Nate Cyphert: "I've got a concept! The hook is going to say, 'I've got a beach house in Malibu, and I'm probably going to hurt your feelings". They were confused before she explained that it was about dating apps.[4] Jepsen co-wrote the song alongside Hope and Cyphert, with Hope handling the production with SameSame, who is credited as an additional producer.[1]
On April 4, 2022, Jepsen shared a 15-second snippet of "Beach House" on the social media site TikTok.[5] The song was released as the album's second single the next day.[6][7] Its music video, directed by Taylor Fauntleroy, was released on August 12. Filmed in Malibu, the video is set on a seaside and depicts the "nightmare dates" that were presented on the song.[8][9] "Beach House" reached number 11 on Billboard Japan's Hot Overseas Songs issued on August 31, 2022.[10] The song is listed at track number six on The Loneliest Time, which was released on October 21 by Interscope and Schoolboy Records.[11][12]
Music and lyrics
"Beach House" is two and a half minutes long.[1] Hope and Rob Cohen programmed the song, while Mitch McCarthy and recorded and mixed it. Cyphert, Ben Romans, Bobby Wooten, Jared Manierka, Joey Hendricks, and Tony Marino provided background vocals. Chris Allgood and Emily Lazar mastered the track.[1]
The upbeat instrumentation of "Beach House" comprises a synthesizer and a guitar (both played by Hope) with an upbeat disco bassline.[1][7][13] The song includes a group of male backing vocalists to sing "I got a beach house in Malibu and I'm probably gonna hurt your feelings".[14] Peter Piatkowski of PopMatters described the song as a funky tune with a "disco-pop" production,[15] while Hannah Mylrea from NME said that it was "disco-infused".[16] Other critics considered the track pop.[17][2][18]
The lyrics are about the uncertain and troubling side of finding love in dating apps.[9][18] Jepsen in the verses describes going through a cycle of misfortunes she experienced with "Boy No. 1" to "Boy No. I Can't Keep Count Anymore".[19][20] The chorus sees her pleading for a timeline where people are honest when dating: "I want to believe that when you chase a girl, it's not just hunting season".[14][19] Later in the song, Jepsen encounters men who plan to ghost her,[15] borrow money, and harvest her organs.[16][21] The track also addresses her resentment of the numerous dates she had and how all of them did not work: "I've been on this ride / This rollercoaster's a carousel / And I'm getting nowhere".[20][15] Piatkowski likened the lyrics to Carly Simon's song "You're So Vain" (1972).[15] In The A.V. Club, Gabrielle Sanchez wrote that its themes are comparable to her other tracks like "Call Me Maybe" (2011) and "Store" (2016).[22]
Critical reception
"Beach House" received generally positive reviews—many critics believed that the song was catchy[18] and playful.[23] Lindsay Zoladz of The New York Times wrote that it was a "cheeky earworm" that displayed her "deadpan sense of humor".[20] In a year-end list of the 22 best songs of 2022, Time Out placed "Beach House" at number 11 with one of its writers Phil de Semlyen describing the track as a "zippy, witty, stupidly catchy takedown of terrible dates".[24] Piatkowski lauded the "mordant comedy" of "Beach House" but found the song so thoroughly written and produced that it "doesn't feel like a novelty tune".[15] Heather Phares of AllMusic wrote that the track was the most surprising from The Loneliest Time and that it encapsulated "the wasteland of dating in the early 2020s with humor, horror, and just a bit of cynicism".[11] Audra Heinrichs from The Telegraph said that it was a "cynical good time".[25]
The Rolling Stone writer Rob Sheffield described the song as a "deliciously nasty tour of serial monogamy in the era of dating-app addiction".[26] Entertainment Weekly's journalist Maura Johnston called the track "withering" and selected it as one of the album's tracks that featured "propulsive throwdowns brimming with bite and verve".[27] Gabrielle Sanchez of The A.V Club wrote that although Jepsen approached "corniness" on the song, "she's so earnest about it" to the point that it was very engaging.[22] Charles Lyons-Bert from Slant Magazine stated that the track was a "winning confection" that displayed Jepsen's "unique appeal" of being naive while also cunning.[28] A few of them also found emotional nuance within the lyrics: Zoladz thought that "Beach House" effectively showcased themes of yearning for a romantic relationship,[20] while Piatkowski said that the song had a "weariness and stoic familiarity" to it.[15] On the other hand, Pitchfork's Olivia Horn felt that the track was "corny and dated" and too derivative for Jepsen, but she believed that it was an attempt to "diversify her portfolio".[29] Gem Stokes of Clash wrote that the song was witty and a "definitive bop", but found it a "superficial" outlier compared to the rest of the album.[13]
Critics also commended the production. They deemed it anthemic, breezy, and lively.[14][18][19] Mylrea wrote that the song was "phenomenal" and a "fully blown disco-infused banger".[16] Piatkowski thought it was an "excellent contrast" to the previous single "Western Wind" and a highlight from The Loneliest Time.[15] Rhian Daly of UDiscoverMusic described the song as a "dance-ready anthem".[19] Robin Murray from Clash called it a "breezy summer anthem" with an energetic performance from Jepsen.[17] Chris Thiessen from Under the Radar believed that the track was a "summery jam" and that it was the most fun song on the album.[30]
