It was released on June 24, 2015 in Japan and on August 21, 2015 worldwide through 604, School Boy, and Interscope Records. Looking to transition from the bubblegum pop-oriented nature of her second studio album Kiss (2012), Jepsen found inspiration in 1980s music and alternative styles.
Following the sudden worldwide success of "Call Me Maybe" in 2012, Jepsen found that the song had become " huge, ginormous thing that really overshadowed the rest of our project" and further singles issued from Kiss failed to gain traction. Jepsen viewed her predicament as an opportunity to retract from the spotlight and contemplate the direction of her next album. She met with her record label and management after The Summer Kiss Tour wrapped up in late 2013, stating: "'I want you to put your faith in me that I'll come back when it's ready,' and they did and I'm very lucky to have a team that wasn't about trying to mass produce things and was really more looking at the quality of it."
Due to her dissatisfaction with Kiss's constrained timeframe of two months, Jepsen went into writing Emotion with the intent of crafting a project that was authentic and timeless. Whereas Kiss was developed in an acquiescent manner as Jepsen was simply grateful for the opportunity, Emotion was spurred by her desire to take more creative control.
Jepsen commented that much of the album is about "trying to get some power back" after a recent break up and subsequent move to New York. She sought to channel a "heart-on-your-sleeve sensibility" reminiscent of the 1980s era after attending a Cyndi Lauper concert in Japan: " this is when pop was at its finest. I would put out 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun' today and I wouldn’t change a bloody thing."
These themes were further explored through "old-school" Prince and Madonna records on morning runs before Cinderella rehearsals.
An epiphany came to Jepsen after finishing "Emotion", the album's title track, where she realized that a 1980s pop sound, combined with a more "alternative" production, was what she had been seeking.
This fashioned the album's direction entirely, which developed as a midway point between the "pure" pop she recorded in Los Angeles and the indie-folk effort that was scrapped in New York.
