"Move Me" is a standalone collaborative single by French synth-pop producer Lewis OfMan and Canadian pop singer Carly Rae Jepsen, released July 15, 2022, by Profil de Face.[1] [2] The release's cover art was illustrated by OfMan's father .[3] [4]
Per Jepsen, she was first introduced to OfMan's music via a playlist sent to her by a friend. She "kept pausing at the same track of Lewis's thinking 'this is really good'". She praised OfMan as having one of her "favorite male voices."[5] OfMan further explained that he received a call from Jepsen and was "honored that she liked [his] music in such a genuine way."[6]
OfMan was initially inspired to write the song after being struck by an attendee of a party in Florence but feeling both were unable to pursue each other. The day after, OfMan wrote an initial draft of the song and shared it with Jepsen, who "instantly felt the song" and sent over voice recordings and additional ideas for the song.[7] [8] [9]
Stereogums Chris Deville thought the song's piano-based house style was timely, given recent releases by Drake and Beyonce, whose usage of house music in their 2022 music generated renewed discussion about the genre.[10]
BroadwayWorlds Michael Major wrote that the song "pair[s] classic house music piano chords with rich vocal melodies", making for "an infectious dose of slick dance-pop." Prelude Presss Dom Vigil called the track a feel-good summer jam. Papers Shaad D'Souza wrote that "it's a joy to hear Carly Rae Jepsen go full-blown house diva" and opined that the song combines classic dance music with the aesthetics of lo-fi music.[11]
