Sabrina Carpenter drops new single ‘Please, Please, Please’ ahead of album release

Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has just released her highly anticipated new single "Please, Please, Please", a collaboration with renowned producer Jack Antonoff and frequent co-writer Amy Allen. This track is a preview of her upcoming album, "Short n' Sweet", set to drop on August 23.

The music video for "Please, Please, Please", directed by Bardia Zeinali, offers a cinematic twist. It opens with Carpenter in a holding cell, only to spot her real-life boyfriend, actor Barry Keoghan, being brought into the same jail. As the narrative unfolds, Carpenter assists Keoghan in a series of wild escapades, including a kidnapping and a bank robbery. The video culminates in a twist, with Carpenter cuffing Keoghan to a chair and silencing him with duct tape, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger.

Carpenter's announcement of her sixth studio album earlier this week on social media was met with excitement from fans. "This project is quite special to me and I hope it'll be something special to you too," she shared, building anticipation for the new release.

Her previous single, "Espresso", has been a major hit, following her electric performances at Coachella earlier this year. The song debuted at no 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since climbed to a peak position of no 4, solidifying its status as a strong contender for Song of the Summer, reported Variety magazine.

This momentum follows Carpenter's successful fifth album, "Emails I Can't Send", released in 2022, and its deluxe edition, "Emails I Can't Send Fwd", in 2023. The album featured the hit "Nonsense", which became a fan favourite, especially after Carpenter's humorous onstage renditions during her opening act for Taylor Swift's Eras Tour.

Recently, Carpenter delivered standout performances of "Espresso" and "Nonsense", along with her follow-up single "Feather", on "Saturday Night Live". She concluded her "Nonsense" performance with a memorable line: "He is 30 Rock hard 'cause I said hi/My sense of humour is but I am not dry/SNL I just came for the first time," showcasing her signature dry wit.
