Song meaning of Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter, and what it is about


Carpenter said that she created the song in France in a "very quick process" and that this inspired "how the song ended up feeling" in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. The song's lyrics discuss having confidence in oneself. She explained that the song is about "embracing the confidence of being 'that bitch' and seeing femininity as your super power" in an interview with the American magazine Vogue.


The song gained notoriety for its absurd lyrics, especially the repeated line "That's that me, espresso". Journalist and linguistics specialist Samantha Allen pointed out that the line's grammatical errors caused it to become viral.


"Espresso" achieved success on the market. Carpenter's first top ten single on the chart, the song peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100. She also achieved her first-ever top ten Billboard Global 200 chart song with it.


Lyrics of Espresso by Sabrina Carpenter


Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh

Is it that sweet? I guess so

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

Move it up, down, left, right, oh

Switch it up like Nintendo

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

 

I can't relate

To desperation

My 'give a fucks' are on vacation

And I got this one boy

And he won't stop calling

When they act this way

I know I got em'

 

Too bad your ex don't do it for ya

Walked in and dream came trued it for ya

Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya

I know I Mountain Dew it for ya

That morning coffee brewed it for ya

One touch and I brand newed it for ya

 

Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh

Is it that sweet? I guess so

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

Move it up, down, left, right, oh

Switch it up like Nintendo

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

 

Holy shit

Is it that sweet? I guess so

 

I'm working late 'cause I'm a singer

Oh, he looks so cute wrapped around my finger

My twisted humor make him laugh so often

My honey bee, come and get this pollen

 

Too bad your ex don't do it for ya

Walked in and dream came trued it for ya

Soft skin and I perfumed it for ya

I know I Mountain Dew it for ya

That morning coffee brewed it for ya

One touch and I brand newed it for ya

 

Now he's thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh

Is it that sweet? I guess so

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

Move it up, down, left, right, oh

Switch it up like Nintendo

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

 

Thinkin' 'bout me every night, oh

Is it that sweet? I guess so

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

Move it up, down, left, right, oh

Switch it up like Nintendo

Say you can't sleep, baby, I know

That's that me espresso

 

Is it that sweet? I guess so

Mmm, that's that me espresso
