Sabrina Carpenter took to social media to announce her new album, “Short N' Sweet”, available on August 23. Many fans have claimed this summer to be a “Sabrina Carpenter Summer” due to two back-to-back hits: ‘Espresso’ and ‘Please Please Please’, as well as her captivating performances on Saturday Night Live, Capital's Summertime Ball 2024, and the Governer's Ball 2024, which took place in New York. From flawless makeup to amazing outfits, Sabrina has built a unique brand image, and we're here for it!

Espresso

The first single on this album, Espresso, was released on April 11. She performed the song on April 12 at Coachella, and it has had a chokehold on her audience ever since. The song hit #1 on Global Spotify Charts and has occupied a space at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 list for over 6 weeks.

Her fans love everything from the funky pop production to the clever lyrics sprinkled with double entendres. She also released a fun summery music video and the Espresso choreography that she does during her performances has gone viral! Sabrina released an Espresso EP with different versions of the song: Double Shot Version (sped-up), On Vacation Version (instrumental), Decaf Version (slowed), Mochapella Version (a cappella), and Espressooooo Version (extended).
