“Sabrina Carpenter was recently released from Swift’s Eras tour juggernaut, having supported the superstar on her dates in Latin America, Australia and Singapore … (The Guardian). “(Her) career is already a decade long, though she only turns 25 next week … Carpenter signed a five-album record deal when she was 12 with the Disney-owned Hollywood Records. From 2014 to 2017, she also starred in the Disney Channel comedy Girl Meets World, while steadily releasing music … After opening for Ariana Grande and the Vamps on their 2017 tours, and a stint as the lead in Mean Girls on Broadway (cut short by the pandemic), Carpenter signed with Universal Music Group’s Island Records in 2021.”
“Please Please Please” was released in June 2024. Although the tune has a lightweight feel overall, the lyrics warn against the danger of ignoring romantic red flags (this live performance is a “clean” version; the original version amps up the red flag quotient yet further!) Built in A major overall, a single verse shifts to C major (1:30 – 1:49). The closing section, an oddly-placed bridge, starts at 2:25.
