About this song

"Espresso" is the first single from Sabrina Carpenter's sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet. It was officially announced in April 2024 with a 7" vinyl and cassette, and it was released on April 11, 2024, alongside a radio-friendly clean version. The song reached number one in the UK, Australia, and Ireland, peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100, and became the first of Carpenter's songs to pass 1 billion streams on Spotify. It won Carpenter a Grammy for Pop Solo Performance at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in 2025.

Carpenter compares herself to espresso, keeping a partner awake when he is with her. The funky pop track also has her singing about how she can win over a guy and becomes his dream come true.
