"Espresso" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter. It was released as a single on April 12, 2024, through Island Records. She wrote the song along with Amy Allen, Steph Jones, and Julian Bunetta, with the latter producing it. A Dave Meyers-directed music video for "Espresso" was released on the following day. Carpenter performed the song at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. "Espresso" peaked at number 32 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40. Outside of the United States, "Espresso" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and the United Kingdom.

Background

On January 16, 2024, Sabrina Carpenter was confirmed as part of the American festival Coachella, held in Indio, California.[3] She teased a new song, ahead of her performance at the festival, via billboards that read: "She's gonna make you come... to her Coachella set!".[4] Carpenter announced the release of "Espresso" on her social media accounts on April 8, 2024, along with its release date and cover artwork.[5] She captioned the post with: "Just wanted to put out a little song before Coachella".[6] Island Records released the single via streaming and digital download, while Polydor Records released it through vinyl and cassette formats.[4]

Writing and composition

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, Carpenter confirmed that she wrote the song in France in a "very quick process", and that inspired "how the song ended up feeling".[7] The lyrics of the song are about self-confidence. Speaking to American magazine Vogue, she stated that the song is about "seeing femininity as your super power and embracing the confidence of being 'that bitch'".[8] Music journalists described the song's genre as pop,[9] with elements of synthpop, disco, and funk.[10]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Espresso" was released on April 12, 2024, one day after the song. It was directed by Dave Meyers.[11] About the video, Carpenter expressed: "Since the day I heard the song, I saw a beach atmosphere—and more specifically this kind of old school [and] modern environment. [I wanted to capture] the playfulness that I like to use throughout all of my videos. I also just wanted a pool car, to be frank".[12]

The video begins with Sabrina and another man in a speedboat. As the man leans close behind Sabrina, she makes a sharp turn that leads to him falling out of the boat. She retrieves his wallet and pulls his gold credit card out of it, and as she makes land, she meets with some other girls and engages in various activities such as reading a book, receiving massages and pedicures, and sunbathing while being fanned by leaves. Right before the second verse, another vintage car shows up with a bunch of other men, who hold up a surfboard that she dances on top of. They continue to party together, and the car is eventually filled with water as Sabrina and one of the men lounge in it like a hot tub. However, she is then spotted by the man at the beginning of the video along with the police, who apprehend Sabrina and recover the man's wallet and gold credit card. She waves goodbye before being shoved into the cop car, which the police officer cannot start up. Music plays from the horn on top of the car, presumably setting a cliffhanger for a future track.

Live performance

Carpenter performed "Espresso" live for the first time at the 2024 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, held on April 12.[13]
