Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter 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]
(Mm) Too bad your ex don't do it for ya
(Mm) Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya
(Mm) 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 (Ooh)
[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 (Mm)
[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]
(Mm) Too bad your ex don't do it for ya
(Mm) Walked in and dream-came-trued it for ya
(Mm) Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya (Ayy, ayy, oh)
(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
About the Song: Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter
Espresso is the lead single of Sabrina Carpenter’s sixth album, Short n’ Sweet. The funky pop song is a playful and empowering anthem about self-confidence. It charted in the USA (Carpenter’s home country) and globally. The singer compares herself to an espresso drink in the song because of how she affects the guy interested in her and how he can’t sleep at night thinking of her.
Verses
The first and second verses talk about how the guy is obsessing over her without her even trying, however, she just doesn’t give a bleep about him. She’s very impressed with herself for having him wrapped around her fingers and being desperate for her attention while she’s just having her fun.
The second verse in the song features the oh-so-famous line “I’m working late, cause I’m a singer”.
Chorus
The popular chorus talks about how the singer compares herself to an espresso, a strong drink that makes you stay awake. The guy being referenced can’t sleep at night because he keeps on thinking about the singer. There is also an innuendo in the chorus where the singer mentions that the guy probably fantasizes about her while “moving it up, down, left, right”. This is a reference to how you would move a Nintendo joystick around.
Pre-Chorus
Mountain Dew was referenced in this song probably because the drink is known for having high caffeine. Just like the drink (which can be addicting), the singer also had the same effect on the guy who seemed to be “craving” her all the time despite only one encounter.
