Sabrina Carpenter reflects on success of “Espresso,” relationship with Barry Keoghan

Sabrina Carpenter recently said in an interview, “They finally trusted me,” after the success of her track “Espresso.” 

The song spent weeks at the top of the US music charts and on Spotify, proving that Carpenter was the only one who wanted to release it. “I was entirely on my own when it came to wanting to release Espresso,” she said to Variety, continuing, “There were many doubts about its logic, but my team and those close to me had faith in me in the end, and I was glad I had faith in myself at that moment.”

While in France, she went to Crémpierre, which she said inspired the song.

In addition, she went into detail about how the piece prompted a cover version of the song by Julian Bunetta, Amy Allen, and composer Steve Jones.

When asked about her friendship with Barry Keoghan following the release of the Please, Please, Please video, she spoke highly of her buddy.

Sabrina said that the soundtrack enhanced and personalized the video, and she shared Barry’s idea for it on screen with her new song, which he featured.

However, Sabrina’s colleagues have a similar characteristic of maturity and professionalism, as mentioned by Steve Jones: “She was always 10 minutes early for each session and still is.” “Everyone I’ve ever worked with describes themselves as an instant fan,” he said, “so it was really a question of timing for her to succeed.”

“Sabrina has become a sister to me,” Amy Allen, who co-wrote “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” said when asked about their friendship. “We spend hours talking about anything and everything, and she makes me laugh until I cry.” She really makes me a better writer every time I’m in the room with her.”

Sabrina will release her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, on August 23.
