Lyrics 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.
Espresso lyrics 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
