Carpenter has openly discussed the inspiration behind ‘Espresso’. In a previous interview, she shared, “It was a manifestation tactic, because no one liked me romantically at that point – no one was obsessed with me.” Her lighthearted take on her past romantic struggles has resonated with fans, reflecting her relatable artistry.
As she embarks on her ‘Short n Sweet’ tour, Carpenter continues to embrace her uniqueness. She noted, “My mom has been like, ‘Do you feel crazy right now?’” This sentiment encapsulates her journey and growth as an artist.
The catchy chorus of ‘Espresso’ was born from a memorable visit to a crêperie in France, adding a personal touch to the song. Carpenter remarked that she is “unapologetic” about her creative choices, inviting listeners to share in her joy.
The song’s popularity has even sparked a collaboration with Van Leeuwen to create an espresso-flavoured ice cream, further solidifying its impact. Stars like Adele and Keith Urban have expressed their admiration for ‘Espresso’, proving that there’s truly no such thing as too much Sabrina Carpenter.
