"Espresso" is a funky pop track by Sabrina Carpenter where she playfully compares herself to the invigorating effects of the titular coffee. In the song, she suggests that she's irresistible and has a captivating effect on her partner, keeping him awake much like caffeine would. Through her lyrics, she touches on various pop culture elements, including Mountain Dew, Nintendo, and, of course, espresso, to illustrate her points.
The anticipation for new music from Sabrina was hinted at by her team on April 4, 2024, with a cryptic message that something was "brewing." This tease led to the official announcement of "Espresso" on April 8, 2024, which included the reveal of a 7" vinyl and cassette for the single. Fans didn't have to wait long, as the song was released on April 11, followed closely by its music video, directed by the renowned Dave Meyers, on April 12. Meyers is known for his creative and visually stunning work, which likely added an extra layer of excitement to the release.
Lyrics
[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
[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]
Too bad your ex don't do it for ya
Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya
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
[Chorus]
And 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
[Post-Chorus]
Holy shit
Is it that sweet? I guess so
[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
[Pre-Chorus]
Too bad your ex don't do it for ya
Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya
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 (Stupid)
[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 (Yes)
Thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh
Is it that sweet? I guess so (Yes)
Say you can't sleep, baby, I know
That's that me espresso (Yes)
Move it up, down, left, right, oh (Move it up, down, left, right, oh)
Switch it up like Nintendo (Yes)
Say you can't sleep, baby, I know
That's that me espresso
[Outro]
Is it that sweet? I guess so
Mm, that's that me espresso
