"Please Please Please" is a song by American singer-songwriter Sabrina Carpenter. It was released on June 7, 2024, through Island Records, as the second single from her upcoming sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet (2024). Produced by Jack Antonoff, it contains musical influences of disco-pop, country,[1] and yacht rock;[2] lyrically, the singer instructs her boyfriend not to blunder and blemish her reputation.

The song received acclaim from music critics upon release.[3] It reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her first number-one single on the chart. Outside of the United States, "Please Please Please" topped the charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, and the United Kingdom. It peaked within the top ten in 18 other countries, including Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands, Portugal, and Sweden.

Background

Following the commercial success of "Espresso", Carpenter announced her upcoming sixth studio album Short n' Sweet on June 3, 2024.[4] She simultaneously promised an upcoming surprise for her fans, which would turn out to be the single.[5] Only two days later, Carpenter took to social media to announce the song release and share a teaser of the accompanying music video featuring cinematic visuals set to showcase her acting skills.[6][7] The clip shows her wearing a lacy red outfit[8] in a robbery-like setting,[9] as well as engaging in a romance with a criminal played by her real-life boyfriend Barry Keoghan.[7]

The music video for "Please Please Please" serves as a sequel to the "Espresso" music video released earlier in 2024. In the music video for "Espresso", Carpenter gets arrested at the end. "I ended the last video getting arrested, so naturally I thought it would be satisfying to start the 'Please Please Please' video in jail", said the singer.[10] "I liked the idea of falling in love with a convict and being shocked and embarrassed every time he commits crimes. I was sooo lucky to get Barry Keoghan in the video 'cause he is just magic on screen". said the singer after the music video was released.[10] The Irish actor is rumored to be Carpenter's off-screen boyfriend after they started being seen together in December 2023 and throughout 2024.[11]

"The concept was pretty collaborative. I had a brief from Sabrina's team — they wanted it to pick up from where 'Espresso' left off and they wanted it to be about this person that Sabrina's character keeps falling for, that has this chaotic behavior. So I just elaborated on that and started to think a bit more about specifically what happens. I liked this idea of there being a role reversal and an exchange of power towards the end. And things that were recurring, like her picking him up in the same place, same location, different day, different time", said the director, Bardia Zeinali, to GQ.[12] "Pam and Tommy. Madonna and Dennis Rodman. Tarantino was a big reference point. Natural Born Killers (1994). Bonnie and Clyde, obviously. Even Thelma & Louise (1991). We were really looking at film references more than anything else and pop culture references in terms of what we wanted the spirit of this moment to be. Even J.Lo and Ben Affleck not to reference, but to capture that spirit. It's similar in the sense that they're this really exciting young couple, both having big moments in their respective careers, coming together and making a piece of art. But this is very much not real life — it's a story", said the director.[12]

Commercial performance

On June 22, 2024, the song debuted at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, making it Carpenter's highest debut on the chart and highest-charting single then.[13] The following week, it reached the top spot in the chart, making it her first chart-topper in the US.[14]

In the United Kingdom, with "Please Please Please" at number one and her previous song "Espresso" at number two on the UK Singles Chart, Carpenter became the first female artist to hold the top two positions of the chart for five weeks in a row and matched Ed Sheeran as the only artist to hold this feat in general. On July 12, 2024, "Please Please Please" was dethroned from the top of the UK Singles Chart with "Espresso" returning to the summit.[15]
