Following her global #1 hit « Espresso, » debut Saturday Night Live performance, and buzzy Coachella set, Sabrina Carpenter releases her new single and music video entitled « Please Please Please. »
The release accompanies the announcement of her highly anticipated new album, Short n’ Sweet, out on August 23, 2024, via Island Records.
Teaming up with GRAMMY-Award-winning collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, « Please Please Please » highlights her razor-sharp lyrics and signature conversational delivery over buoyant production as she begs, « Please Please please don’t prove I’m right. Please please please don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice! » Directed by Bardia Zeinali and co-starring Barry Keoghan, the cinematic video seamlessly projects this vibe on screen, continuing a tradition of bold visuals by the songstress.
The song lands in the wake of her bona fide summer smash « Espresso. » Scaling charts worldwide, the Platinum-certified hit is her fourth to land on the Billboard Hot 100 and her first Top 5 on the chart, currently earning her a career peak at #4. It captured the #1 spot on the Spotify Global, US, and UK charts, hitting #1 on the UK Singles Chart for five consecutive weeks. The single’s success only increased the incredible momentum generated from the platinum hit « Feather, » which scored her first #1 at Top 40 Radio.
