Speaking to Zane Low, Jepsen had the following to say on new tunes,“’Now That I Found You’ is about the high you get when a new love starts to change your life. It’s like the rush, rush, rush is better than any drug.  Which leads me to ‘No Drug Like Me” which is a promise I made to love in general. That when the good stuff lands my way I’ll always try to be vulnerable and brave and show all of myself –  ‘If you make me feel in love then I’ll blossom for you.’”
