When Carly Rae Jepsen moved to Southern California in 2012, not long after Justin Bieber helped launch her song "Call Me Maybe" toward becoming one of that year's biggest pop hits, the Canadian singer first touched down in family-friendly Woodland Hills. Jepsen was dating a guy who lived there at the time, and her plan was to camp out at his place briefly until she found something more in keeping with the tastes of a young star.
She ended up staying in the suburbs for two years.
"Because there was so much craziness going on, it actually kind of suited us to be away from it all," she recalled in an interview near her new home in Hollywood.
