Carly Rae Jepsen has told Newsbeat about the moment that she found out she had achieved a number one single in the UK.

The singer also reveals how she was forced to keep a record deal with Justin Bieber secret from her friends and family.

The former Canadian Idol contestant sold 100,000 singles in a week after a viral video showing Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez dancing to the track received 31 million YouTube views.

Jepsen came third when she competed in Canadian Idol in 2007.
