Pop star Sabrina Carpenter, known for hits like “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” recently shared the inspiration behind the title of her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, set to release on August 23. In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Carpenter explained that the title reflects the profound impact of some of her shortest relationships. “I thought about some of these relationships and how some of them were the shortest I’ve ever had, and they affected me the most,” Carpenter revealed, clarifying that her petite stature had little influence on the name choice.
Carpenter also discussed the nature of songwriting, emphasizing that music captures specific moments in time. She acknowledged the challenge listeners face in perceiving the passage of time through a single album, stating, “I’m not the same person as when the songs were written,” underscoring the personal depth of the project.
