What the Samsung Galaxy Gear TV commercial - Santas Secret is about.

The Samsung Galaxy Gear TV spot, titled 'Santa's Secret', features Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen and her hit song 'Call Me Maybe'. The ad shows Santa Claus on his sleigh, sneaking into a family's house to deliver presents while they're sleeping. As Santa tries to tiptoe his way around the room, he accidentally wakes up the family's dog, who starts barking and waking up the rest of the family.

To avoid getting caught, Santa pulls out his Samsung Galaxy Gear watch and uses it to play 'Call Me Maybe'. Suddenly, the family, including the dog, start dancing to the catchy tune, allowing Santa to quietly deliver the presents without getting caught.

The TV spot was created to showcase the features of the Samsung Galaxy Gear watch, which at the time of release was a novel and innovative device. The ad cleverly uses Christmas and Carly Rae Jepsen's popular song to create a fun and engaging narrative that demonstrates the watch's functionality in a lighthearted and memorable way.

The ad was a huge success and helped to establish the Samsung Galaxy Gear watch as a popular and desirable gadget among consumers. It also helped to cement Carly Rae Jepsen's status as a rising star in the music industry, with her infectious song becoming a holiday favorite for many years to come.

Samsung Galaxy Gear TV commercial - Santas Secret produced for Samsung Mobile was first shown on television on December 11, 2013.

Song from commercial Samsung Galaxy Gear TV Spot, 'Santa's Secret' Song by Carly Rae Jepsen

"Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen

"Call Me Maybe" is a song by Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen , released in 2012. The song was originally composed as a folk song by Jepsen and Tavish Crowe, but it was later re-imagined as a pop song with the help of producer Josh Ramsay. The song was a massive commercial success, reaching the top of the charts in over 20 countries, including the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Meaning of the Song

The message of "Call Me Maybe" is not necessarily flirtatious, but rather a sign of a lack of confidence and a hesitance as a defense mechanism. In the song, Jepsen throws a wish in the well and asks the person she's interested in to call her maybe. She looks to him as it fell and now he's in her way. The song is about the fear of rejection and the desire to take a chance on love.

Reception and Legacy

"Call Me Maybe" has been widely regarded as one of the catchiest pop songs of the 2010s and has been covered by countless artists. The song won several awards, including Song of the Year at the 2012 Billboard Music Awards and the 2013 Juno Awards. It has also been included on numerous "best of" lists, including Rolling Stone's "50 Best Songs of the Decade (So Far)" and Billboard's "100 Greatest Choruses of the 21st Century."
