You heard it from Taylor Swift herself - it’s the Summer of Sabrina! We’ve been counting down to Sabrina Carpenter’s sixth studio album, Short N’ Sweet, all summer long, so here’s a short and sweet list of six Sabrina Carpenter songs to add to your summer playlist.
1. Fast Times
Much like the thrilling whirlwind its lyrics depict, ‘Fast Times’ is as fast-paced and unforgettable as a summer night. Spontaneous decisions and living in the moment on those days when the sun rises too soon and you're too caught up in the exhilaration to care. ‘Fast Times’ is all about embracing the your overwhelming emotions in the times when the “Sky looks so purple, I can taste it/Couple days in, I call you baby.” But as summer winds down, you’ll find yourself reflecting on those intense experiences with a sense of wistfulness, echoing the sentiment, “Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it.”
2. Please Please Please
With it’s pleasantly condescending tone and light poppy twang, ‘Please Please Please’ is like the perfect summer fling in song form—it’s playful, catchy, and just a little bit irresistible. As Sabrina says, “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.” So, please please please let this Short N’ Sweet track soundtrack your romance, whether or not it works out.
3. Almost Love
If ‘Please Please Please’ isn’t your taste for a summer fling anthem, look no further than ‘Almost Love.’ The dance-pop Singular Act I track is sultry and steamy as a summer night, as Sabrina belts out “Shirt hanging off my shoulders/Both hands wanna hold ya/So baby what’s the hold up?” With its eclectic beat and flirty lyrics, ‘Almost Love’ will have you dancing through the heat, embracing the excitement of what could be, and craving just a little bit more.
4. On Purpose
For your dose of sunny summer nostalgia, ‘On Purpose’ from Sabrina’s 2016 album EVOLution hits the sweet spot. The perfect balance of a song that sounds like it would echo out of the pool speakers during the night swim and the perfect soundtrack to a late night drive through a glittering city with a summer crush, ‘On Purpose’ makes Sabrina’s vocals shine through it’s carefree dance production.
5. Read Your Mind
A groovy mix of disco and synth-pop, emails i can’t send track ‘Read Your Mind’ is the perfect coastline drive anthem. Quipped with an infectious beat and smooth, breezy vibes, it’s the kind of song that makes you want to roll down the windows and let the wind mess up your hair as you sing along. Whether you’re cruising solo or with friends, ‘Read Your Mind’ sets the mood for embracing a carefree coastal reprieve.
6. Espresso
We might as well slap a copyrighted Song of the Summer 2024 label on Sabrina’s smash hit ‘Espresso.’ Just one sip—or rather, one listen—of this caffeinated jam and you'll find yourself suddenly mastering the art of spontaneous sunset dance-offs and impromptu late-night karaoke sessions, because in the summer, we “can’t relate to desperation.” ‘Espresso’ is groovy, cheeky, and just as addictive as caffeine itself.
