"Please Please Please" is a heartfelt single from Sabrina Carpenter's sixth album, "Short n' Sweet." The song delves into the emotional whirlwind of loving someone who may not always choose the right path. It's a blend of tender affection, palpable frustration, and a deep sense of worry, reflecting Carpenter's struggle to safeguard her relationship and self-respect.
While there is speculation that the song's inspiration comes from her relationship with Barry Keoghan, who appears as her love interest in the music video, this remains unconfirmed.
The track was initially teased with a brief snippet in the music video for "Espresso," another single from the album. After a couple of months, Carpenter shared the same snippet online, building anticipation for the new release. She hinted at a surprise related to the album in a social media post, which turned out to be the announcement of "Please Please Please" as the next single, along with a trailer for its music video. Fans were encouraged to pre-add the album to ensure immediate access to all tracks upon release.
Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I know I have good judgment, I know I have good taste
It's funny and it's ironic that only I feel that way
I promise 'em that you're different and everyone makes mistakes
But just don't
I heard that you're an actor, so act like a stand-up guy
Whatever devil's inside you, don't let him out tonight
I tell them it's just your culture and everyone rolls their eyes
Yeah, I know
All I'm asking, baby
[Chorus]
Please, please, please
Don't prove 'em right
And please, plеase, please
Don't bring mе to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing, my ego's another
I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker, oh
Please, please, please (Ah)
[Verse 2]
Well, I have a fun idea, babe (Uh-huh), maybe just stay inside
I know you're cravin' some fresh air, but the ceiling fan is so nice (It's so nice, right?)
And we could live so happily if no one knows that you're with me
I'm just kidding, but really (Kinda), really, really
[Chorus]
Please, please, please (Please don't prove 'em right)
Don't prove 'em right
And please, please, please
Don't bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing (Heartbreak is one thing), my ego's another (Ego's another)
I beg you, don't embarrass me, motherfucker, oh
Please, please, please (Ah)
[Outro]
If you wanna go and be stupid
Don't do it in front of me
If you don't wanna cry to my music
Don't make me hate you prolifically
Please, please, please (Please)
Please, please, please (Please)
Please (Please), please (Please), please
(Ah)
