On Aug. 23, Sabrina Carpenter released her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet.” The album includes 12 new songs, two released as singles. Its total run time is about 36 minutes, making it a “Short n’ Sweet” album — literally. I loved every second of it.

“Taste”: The first song on the track list is catchy. “Taste” is all about when her ex-boyfriend (rumoredly Shawn Mendes) was going between her and his other ex (allegedly Camila Cabello).

The beat and catchy chorus of this song are addictive. And the music video? It’s iconic. It was the perfect song to open the album with and sets the tone for the rest of the songs.

“Please Please Please”: The second song, which was one of the singles of the album, “Please Please Please,” was released on June 7. The premise for this one is Carpenter asking her current partner not to embarrass her. The music video that goes along with the song is fun as well.

The video stars Barry Keoghan — who the piece is rumored to be about — as a criminal who just can’t get his act straight in the music video. It was a fun video to watch and told a clear story that was easy to follow.

One thing about this song that itches my brain just right is the way Carpenter says, “And please, pleasе, please / Don’t bring me to tеars when I just did my makeup so nice / Heartbreak is one thing, my ego’s another / I beg you, don’t embarrass me, m———-r.”

“Good Graces”: At first, I did not generally get the hype around this song, but after a few more listens, let’s just say I got the hype. Carpenter must have channeled her inner me when she said, “Or I’ll switch up like that so fast / ‘Cause no one’s more amazin’ at turnin’ lovin’ into hatred.”

Need I say more? She ate.

“Sharpest Tool”: Similarly to “Good Graces,” it took me some time to appreciate this song, but now I have it on repeat. This song was one of the first slow songs on the album, stepping away from the typical “pop beat.”

However, when Carpenter sang that chorus, it was like looking into an inner part of my soul turned to words. This song reminded me of many moments in my life where conflict could have been avoided with communication.

“Coincidence”: Dare I say my favorite song on the album? Yes, yes, it is. It’s like every part of this song came right from my heart. I do not think words could begin to conceptualize just how much this song means to me. It’s all about how she could sense her ex was cheating with his ex-girlfriend. 

The whole thing is basically Carpenter telling me, “Me too, girl.” She seemed to read me like an open book without ever meeting me. So my point stands: it is easily my number one on the album.

“Bed Chem”: I am not going to lie, I was one of the people who read “Bed Chem” as “Bad Chem.” But after listening to the song, I realized “Bad Chem” made no sense. Like the other songs, I find the lyrics stuck in my head on loop.

While I had one critique about the song: you can hardly understand what she is saying at times in the chorus, after reading the lyrics, I soon came to love it.

I especially love the stanza, “Come right on me / I mean camaraderie / Said you’re not in my time zone but you wanna be / Where art thou? Why not uponeth me? / See it my mind let’s fulfill the prophecy.” The wordplay? Iconic. 

Carpenter could write “Romeo and Juliet,” but Shakespeare couldn’t write “Bed Chem.”

“Espresso”: “Espresso” was released as a single in June and instantly went viral, even winning Song of the Year at the MTV Video Music Awards.

I am forever grateful that this song taught people how to say the word espresso correctly. Too many people were saying ex-presso.

“Dumb & Poetic”: How do I send someone these lyrics without directly sending them to them? I know a few guys who think that because they act like men, they are not a man. No further comment, 10 out of 10.

“Slim Pickins”: Okay, so she needs to put the pen down and close the notebook because, I fear, she read me to filth.

When she said, “This boy doesn’t even know / The difference between ‘there,’ ‘their’ and ‘they are’ / Yet he’s naked in my room,” she called me out.

“Juno”: This song also gets stuck in my head more often than not. It is based on the movie “Juno” (2007), which made me rewatch it. I love both of them.

I saw someone online say that Carpenter should make a music video for this song and make Elliot Page her baby daddy, and I couldn’t agree more.

“Lie to Girls”: Yet again, Carpenter looked right into every teenage girl’s soul when she wrote this. This song made me take a look inward and at how I view relationships as a whole — platonic or romantic.

However, I was not more represented than when she said there is no need to lie to girls when they like someone; we lie to ourselves. It is the same: “Yeah, I can make a s—- show look a whole like forever and ever.”

“Don’t Smile”: While I initially considered this a “skip song,” I quickly realized how wrong I was. I just wasn’t listening to the lyrics close enough. I love her idea of actually being sad when something is over. Most people say that you should be happy to start a new chapter.

I discover something new about this album every time I listen. Overall, I love this records and often listen to it on repeat. It is one of the first albums I consider to have “no skips.” I cannot wait to see what Carpenter does next.
