Sabrina Carpenter is back with a bang, announcing her latest single, “Please Please Please,” as part of the rollout for her upcoming album, “Short n’ Sweet.” The pop sensation took to social media on Wednesday, June 5, to share the exciting news with her fans. The new track is set to drop on Thursday, June 6, at 8 p.m. ET, accompanied by a music video that promises to be as captivating as the song itself. In the teaser, Carpenter is seen caught up in a whirlwind romance with a criminal, adding an intriguing narrative to the release.
This announcement comes hot on the heels of Carpenter’s revelation earlier this week that her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” will be available on August 23. “This project is quite special to me, and I hope it’ll be something special to you too,” she wrote on social media, sharing a photo of herself with a red kiss mark on her arm, looking over her shoulder.
Carpenter’s fans are eagerly anticipating the new single, especially after the success of her viral hit “Espresso,” which she released just before her performance at Coachella in April. “Espresso” has been a massive success, currently sitting at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.
In a February interview with Maya Hawke, the 25-year-old pop star confirmed that she was working on the follow-up to her 2022 album, “Emails I Can’t Send.” Carpenter expressed her excitement about her new music, stating, “I feel a lot freer and more excited about what I’m making now because I’ve realized that genre isn’t necessarily the most important thing. It’s about honesty and authenticity and whatever you gravitate towards.”
Carpenter’s previous album, “Emails I Can’t Send,” featured hits like “Nonsense,” “Feather,” and “Because I Liked a Boy,” and peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking her highest-charting effort to date.
Fans have been buzzing about Carpenter’s new music, with many expressing their excitement on social media. One fan commented, “I’m actually excited for this. She really is that girl now, isn’t she? Serving bops and I love how she’s coming with a similar vibe.” Another fan added, “She has huge potential to become the next major pop girl.”
Carpenter’s sound has evolved over the years, and fans are loving her catchy retro pop and cheeky R&B style. One fan noted, “Sabrina’s sound is catchy retro pop + cheeky R&B (like the Singular era + Nonsense). Glad she seems to find her sound now, and I already know this album will wash ‘Emails’ for me.”
With “Espresso” still rising in popularity and dominating charts, some fans are concerned about the timing of the new release. One fan suggested, “I don’t think she should release anything new until mid-July. ‘Espresso’ is still rising in a lot of markets, and in its 5th week at the top of the UK charts. Do you think they’ve given up on a US No. 1?”
Despite these concerns, Carpenter’s organic demand and growing fanbase suggest that she is far from being a one-hit wonder. As one fan pointed out, “Y’all need to understand that she has organic demand. This isn’t gonna be a one-hit thing, and she is definitely not gonna be Dua Lipa’d. Gen-Z is interested in her, and she’s milking off the Swifties, and that is a lot of people.”
Sabrina Carpenter’s new single, “Please Please Please,” is set to make waves in the music industry, and fans are eagerly awaiting its release. With her upcoming album, “Short n’ Sweet,” on the horizon, Carpenter is poised to continue her rise as a major pop star.
