"Please Please Please" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter. It was released on June 6, 2024, through Island Records, as the second single from her upcoming sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet (2024). Produced by Jack Antonoff, the pop ballad contains musical influences of disco, country and yacht rock; lyrically, the singer instructs her boyfriend not to blunder and blemish her reputation.

The song debuted at number-one in Ireland, becoming Carpenter's second consecutive chart-topping single in that country, and has also reached the top ten in Australia, Norway, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

Background

Following the commercial success of "Espresso", the singer announced her upcoming sixth studio album Short n' Sweet on June 3, 2024.[3] She simultaneously promised an upcoming surprise for her fans, which would turn out to be the single.[4] Only two days later, Carpenter took to social media to announce the song release and share a teaser of the accompanying music video featuring cinematic visuals set to showcase her acting skills.[5][6] The clip shows her wearing a lacy red outfit[7] in a robbery-like setting,[8] as well as engaging in a romance with a criminal played by her real-life boyfriend Barry Keoghan.[6]

Music video

The music video for the "Please Please Please" serves as a sequel for the "Espresso" music video released earlier in 2024. In the music video for "Espresso", Carpenter gets arrested at the end. “I ended the last video getting arrested, so naturally I thought it would be satisfying to start the ‘Please Please Please’ video in jail,” said the singer.[9] “I liked the idea of falling in love with a convict and being shocked and embarrassed every time he commits crimes. I was sooo lucky to get Barry Keoghan in the video ’cause he is just magic on screen.” said the singer after the music video was released.[9] The Irish actor is rumoured to be Carpenter's off-screen boyfriend after they started being seen together in December 2023 and throughout 2024.[10]

"The concept was pretty collaborative. I had a brief from Sabrina's team — they wanted it to pick up from where 'Espresso' left off and they wanted it to be about this person that Sabrina's character keeps falling for, that has this chaotic behaviour. So I just elaborated on that and started to think a bit more about specifically what happens. I liked this idea of there being a role reversal and an exchange of power towards the end. And things that were recurring, like her picking him up in the same place, same location, different day, different time," said the director, Bardia Zeinali, to GQ.[11] "Pam and Tommy. Madonna and Dennis Rodman. Tarantino was a big reference point. Natural Born Killers. Bonnie and Clyde, obviously. Even Thelma & Louise. We were really looking at film references more than anything else and pop culture references in terms of what we wanted the spirit of this moment to be. Even J Lo and Ben Affleck not to reference, but to capture that spirit. It's similar in the sense that they're this really exciting young couple, both having big moments in their respective careers, coming together and making a piece of art. But this is very much not real life — it's a story," said the director.[11]
