It’s fresh, it’s frothy, it’s catchy, it’s that me espresso. ☕ Sabrina Carpenter’s pop hit “Espresso,” the lead single off her new album Short n’ Sweet, is a summer bop. And for good reason: the vaguely disco-funk tune is breezy, flirty, and one heck of an ear worm. If you’re as much a Sabrina stan (a.k.a. a carpenter) as we are, keep reading! We took a deep dive into the song’s lyrics and music video to get a better sense of why “Espresso”—and Carpenter herself—has us so addicted.
“Espresso” Lyrics Quick Guide
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” is about being confident and about “seeing femininity as your superpower,” as Carpenter says. But it’s also about the feeling of someone being hooked on you, with espresso being a metaphor for how addictive, energizing, and hot Carpenter is to the song’s unnamed romantic interest.
