The Reason Sabrina Carpenter Wasn’t Sure “Espresso” Would Take Off
Sabrina Carpenter couldn’t be sure that her song “Espresso” would blow up the way it did, but she took a chance based on the confidence in it and the messaging of the song itself. She actually had some sense of doubt about it doing well because of the timing of the year she put it out:
I remember deciding to put this song out in the beginning of summer and thinking espresso, coffee is kind of more of a fall beverage. I really didn’t know if it would connect, but the sentiment and the sound of the song and the confidence that it kind of just carries along with it was something that I really believed in. So I had literally no idea that anyone would like it, but I liked it, and that was kind of all that mattered to me in that moment, and something I try to remember over and over again.
It’s a good thing Sabrina went with her gut because the song was the most streamed on Spotify in the year 2024 and she went on to have a paid partnership with Dunkin’.
