Even Celebrities Are Singing Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Espresso’: Adele, Luke Newton and More
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso” is a lifestyle — and even celebrities can’t stop singing it.
“My mom has been like, ‘Do you feel crazy right now?’” Carpenter told Rolling Stone in June of the song, which has gone viral following its April release. “I just love that people get my sense of humor.”
During the same interview, Carpenter spoke about working with longtime friend Steph Jones and recent collaborator Amy Allen when bringing the song to life.
“That’s the only way those borderline idiotic-slash-funniest lyrics can happen,” the former Disney Channel star continued. “I’ve really honed in on the people that I love making music with.”

She’s since revealed that the song was written in France, explaining the meaning in a profile with Vogue that was published in April just as the track started gaining steam.
"The song is kind of about seeing femininity as your superpower, and embracing the confidence of being that bitch,” she said.
The now-viral nature of the song has put it on other stars’ radar, and some have been singing the tune. Keep scrolling to see which notable names are Carpenters:

Connor Wood
“I have a conspiracy [theory] that the government must write some songs,” the comedian exclusively told Us Weekly in June 2024. “I don’t know how the government would benefit from writing these songs, but they’re putting something in the water in Sabrina Carpenter’s discography.”
Wood continued, “I think whatever Sabrina touches turns to gold. So I think that anything by her … will be the song of the summer.”
