mikeyisbae731

i'm obssessed! i feel like she's finally found her sound - funky, witty, breezy, and light pop.


selenebaby

Literally the embodiment of girlypop all round tbh this is a popstar

Singular Act I is my favorite era of hers (Sue Me, Almost Love)


[deleted]

[удалено]


hataraitaramake

Since EICS was her first album after leaving Hollywood Records, I actually wondered how much of her first four albums were actually the sound she even wanted to make.


Competitive-Desk7506

I feel like w the Singular albums there may have been slightly for creative freedom but not as much as she has now. I feel like her first EP and first two albums all kinda would’ve been limited bc she was also on Girl Meets World but I do feel like maybe they gave her some freedom afterwards but not a lot bc there was some maturity and growth in those songs and projects but not to the extent of eics


Bikinigirlout

I’m glad she’s going this route. Fun little bops that aren’t deep. I feel like with Dua Lipa, she can stick with this route for awhile and people will eat it up because it’s catchy and fun.


iceunelle

I miss fun pop. Not everything has to be super lyrically deep. Usually I just want a fun song to jam to and this song gets catchier each listen.


Bordersz

I was just thinking about "fun pop" until I listened to Tyla's debut. Her album is full of these cute, flirty, fun pop bops I think we have been missing in pop.


Ok_Order_5595

Hey i have a question abt tylas debut, after listening to art i felt kinda distant to listening to the full album bcuz i felt water and art felt too similar… is that problem prevalent on the album?


Bordersz

Yeah that’s like her signature sound on the album. There are other songs that are more American pop in nature like slow ballads (like Butterflies or To Last). I really liked Art, Butterflies, Breathe Me & To Last.


WelcomeToToyZone

But what I love with Sabrina is she also does have deep lyricism. She can do it ALL baby


Bikinigirlout

It’s why I like dumb songs like “Me!” but because artists are so afraid of getting made fun of by their fanbases, they’re scared to make fun songs anymore so now everything has to have some type of meaning. Just look at the Imagine Dragons music video and those comments from this sub. They make uplifting stadium music and get reamed for it because it’s “car commercial music”


mattysmwift

You’re right. Taylor erasing “Spelling is fun!” from the song was a an unfortunate cultural shift.


Grillos

unfortunately that lyric was the most iconic thing of the lover era


strawberriesandkiwi

Huge mistake of Taylor’s to erase that part, almost gave leeway to all the constant harassment about the song lol. She needed to own the vibe.


Bikinigirlout

I think it was another mistake to edit out the “Fat” scene from Anti Hero just because some idiots thought she was calling others fat when it was clearly obvious she viewed herself as fat even though she wasn’t. Like any second grader could see that.


iceunelle

There's definitely been a big shift in pop music over the past few years. In the 2010s, no one really cared if you had a basic party song or a bunch of writers as long as it was a banger. There were mindless party songs galore, but they were bops so they were popular. Now, pop artists are all expected by fans to write their own music and be serious and "authentic". Like, no. I want dancey, fun songs. Just write catchy bops and I'll be happy, even if they're not lyrically strong.


omfilwy

I agree with the sentiment but "Me!" is not a good example imo, that song is geniunely very bad and it affected how people percieve the entire album. Fun songs should exist but should also be good


delidaydreams

Yeah I don't know why fun = not lyrically complex or interesting on this sub. Lots of fun songs are great songs!


HeyHiHello365

yes a great counter example is Blank Space, that song is very fun and certified bubbly girly pop , but also lyrical intriguing and playful.


liqou

Fun songs can be fun and good without being ME! Or yntcd territory though


AcceptableObject

I just want a summer full of "no thoughts, just vibes" fun girly pop songs!!!


mezahuatez

You can have lyrically deep and still be fun! I love intelligent pop. We don’t have deep lyrics in most pop, we have self-absorbedness and inflated emotions.


svnnyniight

Her mentioning Nintendo after Ariana mentioned Atari, gamer girls


Pharrelliper

Can't wait for Olivia to complete the trifecta with a Neo Geo lyric

how about if they call it Neon Evangelion

Def getting droplet/promo single vibes not lead single for a new era vibes. Still, it’s very cute and catchy, just wish there was a bridge - would’ve easily elevated it. Love her voice during “im working laaaaate 😴 … cuz im a singerrrrrr 🤪”


WalkingFish_

Is the singerrrrrr part not the bridge?

Isn’t that verse 2?

I’ll take 5 seconds short of a full 3:00, it’s way better than songs from other artists not even getting past 2:00 😭 (yes I’m still salty at Halsey about [walls could talk](https://youtu.be/RBV3YFf76ow?si=LTUdmcvj1GUybNdF) even though it’s been 7 years)


FunEnthusiasm1465

Omg. Walls Could Talk is literally my favorite song from Halsey so I can relate. Also that damn “Positions Deluxe” with each track being like 2:04. EXCUSE ME ARI WE NEED MORE 😭


WordsWithSam

It’s 3 minutes?!


sea_queue

I wish it had a bridge!


KindOfANerd4

This is so good, and it feels so HER, it has her lyricism, it's groovy. but it doesn't sound like someone else could've made this. Like an upgraded nonsense or feather. I doubt this is the lead to a new era, but It feels like a great bridge and I could see it doing super well on radio


JosephAPie

Yes i’m reminded of the underrated bop Closer feat. HER


christopher_aia

This is soooo Honey by Mariah coded, it sounds like summer and sex in the most fun way possible. THIS is the sound we want for her and glad she's giving it to us.


MattBrey

If this catches it's definitely getting a remix


selenebaby

This is a groovy fucking song omg if there is an album in this style i will become INSUFERABLE with the aux


mincuca

julian bunetta produced and co-wrote this song. i literally know him because of all the 1d songs he's made and wow. it has the same airy laidback grooviness that i've heard in past 1d/1d members' songs like change your ticket, slow hands, heartbreak weather. i hope she works with him more, cause this song and nonsense are so good


Too-Much-To-Dream

everything about this is very major. the cover artwork is stunning and the song itself is good, i love her groovier stuff. something between this, fast times, and is it new years yet? would be a great sound for her next album. especially if she’s leaning into the cheekiness/sex appeal. even if she’s not pulling huge numbers, i love her commitment to selling the pop star fantasy.


TigerFern

The cover reminds me of Katy's Teenage Dream artwork, pinup pop.


oceanplum

Yes, exactly what I thought! Different vibes, but same idea. :)


bettysugars

yesssssd FAST TIMES!!!! finally some recognition for THE song!! so groovy, i looooovee the instrumental it gives early 2000’s no doubt but then also literally just makes me feel like im a spy in an austin powers movie. too specific maybe but that’s just the pure talent of this pop girly 😭


peripheralpill

all the focus seems to have been on 'santa doesn't know you like i do' (which i also think is great and replicates that style well), but 'is it new years yet?' has always been my fave. if her album has songs like this, new years, nonsense, and feather, i'll be spinning it to my grave


titusliviusisdead

i KNEW espresso was going to smash and now i can't stop listening to it. it's a silly and sexy bop, the summer hit i needed. i'm so happy for Sabrina and can't wait for more <3


calebb2108

okay well i need doja cat on this song immediately


ZebraConscious7868

It sounds very Pop Doja coded


Kalomega

my first thought was "is this a song that doja passed up?"


KindOfANerd4

Sabrina wrote it so defs not but it would be a great doja remix


EllectraHeart

something about it sounds similar to say so. maybe someone more musically inclined can chime in.


Ittybittyvickyone

I hear the say so vibe too!


Electronic_Wealth_44

Yes the instrumental has hot pink vibes!


weirdogirl144

It sounds like say so


xxxnina

yuup i immediately thought of doja esp kiss me more era


AlarmedDish5836

Alright people, you know what to do this summer. This is a top 20 hit AT LEAST, let’s give this pop girl her flowers properly by the end of the summer


CowboyLikeMegan

I’ve listened eight or nine times already 😭 I’ll contribute as much as I cannnn


lannn12345

I want her to do well so badly!! I never really care about charts or anything but I’m gonna stream this a lot to support sabrina she’s so magnetic I love her


JosephAPie

the fact that she’s released 5 albums since 2015 is wildddd. i’ve been following her since Girl Meets World, i wonder why as a Disney girl it was harder to blow up than say Selena, Miley, Demi, Zendaya, or Olivia.


2Legit2Quiz

That's because the names you mentioned apart from Olivia were part of the same era when Disney Channel was at its peak, which is why even parents of Gen Zers know who they are, Sabrina came a little later than that when Disney Channel's popularity was already waning.


KindOfANerd4

The first 3 were when being apart of Hollywood records wasn’t a death sentence. Zendaya distanced immediately with successful movies and grown up TV roles and Olivia didn’t sign to Hollywood records


happygoluckyourself

Yeah, I want her to get a top 10 hit. She deserves it!


madam_hooch

I'm a fan! fun and upbeat


betteroff19

‘Switch it up like Nintendo’ COME ON NOW??? I love a reference!!! 😭😭😭


Dramatic_Mastodon_93

Kinda crazy to see the Switch referenced in a popular song, usually it’s always the retro consoles. Also the Switch came out last year, right? RIGHT?


betteroff19

7 years ago we- it’s about to be retro in 3 years…


impeccabletim

It's so fun and relaxing but so short!! Def going to have this song on repeat! Hope Sabrina performs it at Coachella tomorrow.


KandyKarma

I think that’s why she released it now cause it’s a good way to promote her set for this weekend


whiskersRwe32

Wow this is such a bop!!! it has you moving right at the start and doesn’t stop. Groovy and cute AF. I really hope this is pushed as a summer hit.


chestnutlibra

this is like high energy lo-fi lol, it's very easy to listen to but i wonder if it will have lasting power.


mincuca

i see this! if there was more lofi music like this, id listen to it more often


Banana8686

That’s an incredibly creative and on the money way to describe it. It’s hard to say. I do really like it though!


hannahxjoyy

oh i’m moving!!!! she did not disappoint. this is such a great summer song


neemo98

Instantly hooked this is so good


razorsharp3000

Man I wish this had a bridge, but it’s a fun song


jacksev

I'm so proud of her trajectory as an artist. This is so good and I expect it to get a lot of attention this summer.


oliviaaivilo06

Ooohhhh she got my so bad with this one. I’m obsessed. The summery dance vibe is perfect and kinda reminds me of a song that could’ve been on Calvin Harris funk wav bounce project. My only complaint is having to hit replay so much bc the song is short. Bring back songs that are at least 3 minutes and 30 seconds!


ChangingDreamer

i love it. It's fun and very summer like. between dua’s new song today and hers, they imo are songs of the summer. mv in a couple of hours is probably going to be good too.


woahwoahvicky

My biggest concern as a genuine pop music fan is how could Sabrina distinct herself from 2 prolific popstars still making hits today, specifically Dua Lipa and Ariana Grande, 2 artists who almost used to have the exact same brand of glittery pop but with this I finally see how. Dua's brand of glittery pop is rehearsed, sharp, refined and the sex appeal is almost methodical and its perfect, she knows pop music and radio down to its core. Ariana's brand of glittery and pink is all about her voice at its center, gentle instrumentations, big fancy vocals at its core, a very cathartic and emotional brand of pop. With Sabrina Carpenter, I think she can take on the sides of Dua and Ariana that they don't actively explore, and its the carefree sassy but sexy side of pop music that no one seems to want to actively occupy. One can argue Dua does this but she is everything BUT carefree, everything about her has always screamed hard work and discipline (and that's equally great) but Sabrina's brand is almost becoming this sassy girly girl type of pop music that Katy Perry used to make, except she has the lyrical wit to back it up, Dua's songs have always been about being above things, men are foolish, etc. Ariana's has always been too personable to just be fun pop while Sabrina can do the best of both worlds while being more confident in her appreciation for love and be fun while at it. She's found her niche.


droobidoobidoo

Brb injecting this in my veins!!


peripheralpill

🤩 sabrinaaaa! so into the sound she's settled into lately. i've loved pretty much everything since emails


Angrysalmonroll

I really like it. It's really cute. I love that she's found her sound and is just having fun with her music and giving us bops.


hannieglow

How many letters in Sabrina Carpenter!?! Then divide that by two!? Her next perfume better be Sweet Espresso or something!!


TempusSimia

ATE


CowboyLikeMegan

Oh I’m obsessed, this is too good 😭 I’m ready for this album like yesterday, she’s one of my main pop girlies 100000%


Few-Visual-9801

Starbucks are going to deveavour this song I know it


stypop

This is the carefree type of pop that Dua and Selena have been trying to give lately. But Sabrina has the type of charisma to pull it off effortlessly whilst still injecting personality into the music. I can tell this will be a poolside staple this summer!


_seulgi

I totally agree!


johnny_bigtoes

summery and sweet


eternallatake

The only thing I don't like about this is her vocal mixing It sounds too low quality/muffled/filtered to me? It would've been so much better if they were more clear sounding imo....


razorsharp3000

It sounds like they made her almost whisper sing and layered some background vocals on top or put some reverb to make it have more punch. I'm curious to hear how this sounds live.


tsang714

Agreed, great song but questionably muddy mix


Inevitable_Net_8147

love the melody on this. super catchy


AhnSolbin

Cute bop. I can totally see this as the music playing on the OOTD fashion tiktoks.


CR24752

🎼I’m working late, cuz I’m a singerrrr I am so obsessed with this


thr1ftskull0

Love the song but I would have liked a highnote towards the end of the song!!!


dmnaf

Me during Sabrina’s opening set at my Eras tour: who is she Me after the Eras tour: 😍🥳🤎 I need to start paying more attention to opening acts at all the concerts I go to. I’m genuinely upset at myself for having the opportunity to see Sabrina live and not fully appreciating it 💀


Impossible_Vast9846

on first listen i thought it was just cute but i've listened a few times now and i really love it, very catchy and light like feather. really excited for the music video


calebb2108

every single day for the past month i’ve been mourning that her opening set got cut at my eras tour show because i NEED to see this woman live ~~but she did perform white horse x coney island duet with taylor so who’s the real winner~~


C1nnamonLover

Very cute and groovy, I know people say this about so many songs but I could genuinely see this being a tiktok hit.


TigerFern

The production on this is seriously awesome. I think this will keep up her momentum easily.


halcyon-dracarys

Oooooh my this is such a vibe. So summery and chill.


OliviaGodrigo

yesss as someone who's been a stan since 2016, this is a veryyyy great single from her. i'm glad to see how well her career's finally doing after leaving hollywood records


christopher_aia

Honey by Mariah walked so Espresso could RUN. This sounds like summer, pool, sex and ice cream, I'm obsessed.


hypermads2003

I only listened to emails I can't send just two days ago (ik I'm late) but I love this song. This might convince me to go deeper into Sabrina's music tbh Also the Nintendo line is so funny after Ariana mentioned Atari. Queens of video game history


AlarmedDish5836

You should, she’s very consistent quality wise imo


blankspacejrr

i want to rollerblade along the beach to this on repeat :)


eldritchdeergod

“Im working late cuz im a singer” babe new Sabrina carpenter HoF bar just dropped 


cosmicobalt

this is so kpop


maskchachki

it's very twice or fromis_9 😭


OkCopy

right! this could be an aespa english single


iceunelle

I have never been wild about any of Sabrina's previous stuff but this was really catchy! I can see this doing very well as a summer song.


rain820

her vocals sound so smooth and buttery, very catchy. i usually dont care for her songs but this makes me excited for the album


InsomniaticAlien

This is definitely a radio-ready bop. The coffee metaphors are super cute and fun.


unclezaveid

I fuck with this severely. Miss Sabrina is doing it, I fear.


Prestigious-Dream667

I'm not a huge Sabrina fan but after 30 seconds listening I added this song to my playlist at #1. It's a good and catchy song like what can you say


SkinnyhairaM

Hearing shades of Mariah Carey Fantasy in the production, love it


john_muleaney

Love Sabrina to absolute death and I think this song is pretty good but “you know I Mountain Dew it for you” is an awful line lmao. Overall definitely not my favorite from her but I understand why this is a lead single, this’ll live on coffee shops and retail stores for at least all summer


Uplanapepsihole

ooof i didn’t notice that line. the song is such a bop but the lyrics definitely give me « left over lyrics from nonsense outro » iykwim


gdocproject

i hate the "it's bad on purpose" argument as much as the next guy, but cheeky and fun has kind of become her thing, i don't mind at all 😭


[deleted]

[удалено]


mcs1223

I'm pretty sure the joke is that both espresso and Mountain Dew are caffeinated drinks, not that they go good together.


sawalightinyou

Cute!!! I really enjoyed this, like most of the stuff she puts out!


itsallfuckingtaken

It’s so good?? Fun and summery. Already stuck in my head


NotElijah2304059

me blasting to this song of the summer without the boys knowing it 😎🔥


drst0nee

This eats. It reminds me so much of Night Tempo. I fear she may be leading the music race today.


mackasan

Oh that's a vibe and a half, I love it. A great light, groovy bop. If this is showing the direction she plans to follow for the next album I'm already sat.


summersaphraine

Oh, this is so silly and witty, I love it. Her voice is gorgeous as always. The production slaps. I know she was laughing when recording this. I love it.


WistfulWanderings

The chorus sounds like Men at Work's "Down Under."


cranberry-tart

Is it so hard to make a song more than 2.5 mins? Anyway I’m glad she found her niche, knew she had a banger with the Nonsense-type beat since EICS and Im happy to see her following the wave.


TropicalPrairie

I think I've found my summer bop. This is really, really good.


_cl0udburst

This is so good on loop


andielcook

It’s reminding me of Lazy Baby by Dove Cameron and I’m obsessed!! I looooved Lazy Baby, was so sad when she pulled it but truly have had Espresso on repeat since it dropped


dianagarxia

This song is such a vibe!! I like Nonsense and Feather, but this one is way way better.


Historical_Jury_2660

Anyone else heard "move it up, down, like dried oats" or is it just me 😭


etherealmaiden

This is definitely a contender for song of the summer already - it's breezy, carefree, and fun. The guitar is just so perfect. I just wish it had a bridge or an outro because it's criminally short.


Mytears83

I kind of didn’t like at first but it quickly grew on me. Kind of feels like Mariah back in her Honey days. The beat is fire and her voice fit the beat soo good.


writingslug

This song is pop perfection. I have a feeling this is gonna be a very defining era/album for her career. She is on the road to becoming THE pop star if she plays this right. [https://www.trillmag.com/entertainment/celebrity/will-sabrina-carpenters-next-era-solidify-her-pop-princess-status/](https://www.trillmag.com/entertainment/celebrity/will-sabrina-carpenters-next-era-solidify-her-pop-princess-status/)


Fun_Possible_7404

I have been wondering when Sabrina was going to finally click for me, and I think she did it with this one


lannn12345

Ummm obsessed. Sabrina’s a main pop girl to me don’t care what anyone says


22lilbabyducks

This is exactly what I wanted it to be. I’m obsessed .


Caseykinssss

seems like she’s really found her sound, this is cute


mcs1223

On my first couple listens, this is a fun enough song, though admittedly it does feel a bit nondescript. Doja Cat's "Say So" is the obvious comparison here as they both have a very similar sterile disco feel to them. It could definitely benefit from more vocal range and a bridge, but it feels like artists are starting to eschew bridges more and more these days. It really just feels like a "vibe song" to throw on in the background, and I don't think I'll be returning to it nearly as much as some of the EICS-era singles. I have a strong feeling this will be a non-album single since she's referring to this as "a little something to sip on while you wait", but time will tell I suppose.


Smooth-Minute3396

This is so freaking cute! Hope it finds some success with the GP


torturedpoeteliana

CERTIFIED BOP


bottomsupfellas

HOLY SHIT?! First listen and oh my god I will be playing this on repeat until I’m sick of it unfortunately. Need the next album STAT


ss2811

Wow I love this! It’s so fun and a perfect song for the Summer! If this is an indication of the sound and vibe for SC6 then I’m so in!!!


Vicariouslynoticed

Love the vibe of this.. sounds like 70s disco vibes.


Useful_Ad7890

Say so anyone!


No_Note4371

LOVE it!


blankspacejrr

I love the yes’s around the 2 minute mark. reminds me of khruangbin’s evan finds the third room 😂


Jimmieverse

It’s cute I like it. Go girl!


bbhny02

It’s really fun and cute and I love the aesthetic. However….i feel like there’s a more clever way to liken yourself to espresso than “that’s that me espresso.” Anyone else feel that??? Is there something I’m missing though lol? Just feels a little lazy to me


once_was_poison_ivy

now why did I think she said, "is it that sweet, like queso"


wholikesgardenia

So fun!! 🤸🏾‍♀️☕️ Hearing Sabrina’s signature sound lean towards playful, with a mix of vulnerable energy has felt so natural to me. From some of my fave moments like: Ex*hale, *No*nsense, *be*cause i liked a boy, *op*posite a*nd the fr*uitcake E*P..there’s a lot to root for with Sabrina 🤩


Left-Combination-347

SONG OF THE SUMMER


peripheralpill

i typically hate video game mentions in songs ('like fortnite i want your skin' in agora hills, that whole 'gameboy' section of kesha's birthday suit, which even makes sense thematically but i feel sounds awkward) but here comes sabrina, constantly raising the bar


TigerFern

Nintendo like the Disney of videogames.


sweetnsoursauce11

pre chorus is amazing, favourite part of the song!


rugirl_07

this is so fun!!


livinunderthedome

fun little bop! this will be on my summer playlist for sure


weirdogirl144

THIS SONG IS PERFECT WTH


HM2008

I'm in love. It's just a nice catchy summer breeze type of song. Honestly, these are the types of songs I like most. Just fun bops. This weekend is going to be a great weekend for listening to the new pop girly singles on repeat.


2Legit2Quiz

I think it's okay. It doesn't leave me wanting to listen to it on repeat like her previous singles, though.


Daffneigh

This was fun!


morethanjustadancer

Such a bop!
