“Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter Song Review
Sabrina Carpenter started her career as an actress on Disney Channel. She was on the hit TV show titled “Girl Meets World”. The 25-year-old singer signed with Disney’s Hollywood Records which helped aid her singing career. The very first song that put her on the map was titled “Thumbs” but other than that snog her other hit song ” All Because I Liked a Boy” was one of the biggest songs of her career due to her rumored feud with Olivia Rodrigo and how they both dated the same boy.

Her 6th studio album titled “Short n Sweet” is a Pop/Country focus album that includes many hit songs like “Espresso”, “Juno”, and more.
[Chorus]
Now he’s thinkin’ ’bout me every night, oh
Is it that sweet? I guess so
Say you can’t sleep, baby, I know
That’s that me espresso
Move it up, down, left, right, oh
Switch it up like Nintendo
Say you can’t sleep, baby, I know
That’s that me espresso
She seems to be talking about a boy who has a crush on her and is starting to think about her. In response to him thinking about her every night, she thinks that it’s sweet. “Say you can’t sleep, baby, I know That’s that me espresso” She is comparing the thought of him constantly thinking about her as a cup of espresso, A cup of espresso is known to keep you awake. “Move it up, down, left, right, oh
Switch it up like Nintendo” She can be talking about many things including the actual Nintendo Switch. She could also be talking about intercourse. Then referring back to espresso she is comparing his thoughts of her at night to a shot of espresso.
[Verse 1]
I can’t relate to desperation
My give-a-fucks are on vacation
And I got this one boy and he won’t stop calling
When they act this way, I know I got ’em
[Pre-Chorus]
(Mm) Too bad your ex don’t do it for ya
(Mm) Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya
(Mm) Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya
(Yes) I know I Mountain Dew it for ya
(Yes) That morning coffee, brewed it for ya
(Yes) One touch and I brand-newed it for ya (Ooh)
In verse one, she is talking about how she cannot relate to how desperate he is and she can give less of a fuck “My give-a-fucks are on vacation”. She later talks about how she has one boy who will not stop calling her and when they act like they can’t live without her she knows shes got them in the bag.
She then says that its too bad his ex didn’t do it and that he’s lucky she walked in and gave him his “dream come true”. She then talks about her soft skin and perfume and that her essence is captivating and always on his mind going back to espresso.
[Verse 2]
I’m working late ’cause I’m a singer
Oh, he looks so cute wrapped ’round my finger
My twisted humor make him laugh so often
My honeybee, come and get this pollen
“I’m working late because I’m a singer” shes talking about her career and because shes away from him for a long time it’s making him more desperate for her. Her humor makes him laugh because shes very funny and then she follows it by a joke claiming that he’s a honeybee and she wants him to get her pollen, which is a sex joke.
My review: 9/10 the song is very catchy and it has over a billion streams on Spotify.
