Song Review: ‘Please Please Please’ by Sabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter released her latest single ‘Please Please Please’ on June 7th. It’s the second single of her new album Short n’ Sweet, set to be released at the end of August this year. This song might be slower compared to her previous single ‘Espresso,’ but it’s not any less catchy. Both the melody and the lyrics are memorable, with lines such as “And please please please don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice.” The instrumental intro builds up nicely, and the song’s outro will likely get stuck in your head as she repeats the title of the single: “Please please please (please).”

Carpenter has more room in this song to show her versatile voice, with the lyrics sung in higher and lower tones. The instruments used are a mix of electronic and traditional pop instruments, ensuring Carpenter’s voice shines through and does not get overshadowed. When listening to the lyrics, they refer to being in a relationship and warning your significant other not to mess it up. It’s about the vulnerability that comes with wanting someone while fearing rejection. Listeners of this song can surely relate to this topic. 

‘Please Please Please’ shows Carpenter’s evolution as an artist, displaying a more mature and reflective lyrical approach while combining this with her catchy pop beats. This results in a song that is enjoyable on the radio and resonates with the audience. You will love this song for the artist’s growth, the catchy melody, and the recognisable lyrics.
