Short n' Sweet is the upcoming sixth studio album by the American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It is scheduled for release on August 23, 2024, by Island Records, marking Carpenter's second album with the record label after Emails I Can't Send (2022). Carpenter named the American producer Jack Antonoff as one of her primary collaborators on the album.

The album was supported by two pre-released singles, "Espresso" and "Please Please Please". Both singles topped the Billboard Global 200 chart, exposing Carpenter to wider commercial success; "Espresso" and "Please Please Please" marked Carpenter's first number-one song in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively. To promote the album, Carpenter will embark on the Short n' Sweet Tour, the first arena tour of her career, in September 2024.

Background

In 2022, Sabrina Carpenter released her fifth studio album, Emails I Can't Send, after signing with Island Records.[2][3] The album found commercial success with its single, "Feather", topping the US Pop songs chart and became her highest-charting track at the time on the Billboard Hot 100.[4] To promote the album, she embarked on the Emails I Can't Send Tour in 2023.[5] Thoroughout the year and early 2024, Carpenter also served as an opening act for Taylor Swift on selected South American, Australian, and Asian dates of the Eras Tour.[6] She was announced to be a performer at the 2024 American festival Coachella.[7]

In February 2024, speaking with Maya Hawke for Interview, Carpenter expressed her excitement on her new music, and said that she would be exploring more genres as she did with her last album.[8] In March, she confirmed in an interview with Cosmopolitan that she was working on her next album.[6] She noted that, "I'm starting to feel like I've outgrown the songs I'm singing [on The Eras Tour], which is always an exciting feeling because I think that means the next chapter is right around the corner".[6]

Release and promotion

Prior to any official announcement, billboards with tweets about Carpenter's height were placed throughout New York City.[9] On social media, she posted a video where she can be seen walking to the camera and planting a kiss on the screen, teasing a future announcement.[10] On June 3, 2024, Carpenter confirmed the release of Short n' Sweet and revealed its cover artwork.[11] The album is set to be released on August 23, 2024.[11]

Singles and music videos

In early April, Carpenter began to tease a single via billboards,[12] and revealed that she would be releasing "a little song" before her performance at Coachella.[13] On April 11, 2024, Carpenter released the single "Espresso", which became the lead single for the album.[A][14] The song found commercial success, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one in various countries.[15][16][17] Carpenter has performed the song at several events including Coachella and Saturday Night Live.[18] A music video directed by Dave Meyers was also released.[19]

"Please Please Please", was released as the second single from the album on June 6, 2024, along with a music video that the singer teased via social media.[20] Directed by Bardia Zeinali, the video served as a sequel to "Espresso" and featured Barry Keoghan.[21] The song peaked at the top of the Hot 100, earning Carpenter her first number-one single on the chart.[22]
