Do you want an Espresso? Sorry, let’s try that again. Do you want an ‘Espresso?’ It’s fair to say that when the chorus of courtesy pleas starts rounding around your workplace, you won’t be able to notice the word unless it comes with singular inverted commas. It’s all thanks to our pocket-sized superstar, Sabrina Carpenter! She was recently spotted on a boat, the sort you’d probably find at the Venice Film Festival, whisking across the ocean with a European sweater-wearing (tied around his neck and so not actually, uh, technically wearing) boy toy. Of course, she’s steering the wheel. It makes it easier to turn an otherwise dull reality of black and white a spunkier, sultrier sunkissed glow color when she jerks its movements, tossing the said boy toy into the ocean! Oh, and stealing his credit card all the while.
‘Espresso’ marks the first certified hit of Sabrina Carpenter’s newest era. It doesn’t have a name yet, though we can only speculate that it ties into the motel room decor of her Coachella set. You’ve probably savored your favorite parts of ‘Espresso,’ both in its song form and music video, so you’d quickly be clicking out of this article to down another shot! But alas, one part we cannot get over amid the spectrum of energetic buzz is the Sabrinese “ha, ha, has” in the chorus. Not only do they aid in supplementary to its theme, but they also serve as a pun for how hot the moment is!
Brewing An Instant Summer Replay
Weirdly enough, ended up writing this song in France, and I think that that probably had a little bit of inspiration to how the song ended up feeling. It just had that excitement and that energy of almost kind of travelling the world.

Although we can only gather that when looking up the word Espresso in the dictionary, you’d now find a photo of Sabrina Carpenter as she coined it for herself, not the rich Italian history. But somewhere within that period, there was also the Espresso girl. Starting as a makeup look that had one stocking up on bronzer and dark chocolate eyeshadow blends, it then became a whole aesthetic! Think Blair Waldorf and Emily Ratajkowski, and if she were to pull out the ‘Fast Times’ wig, our gal, Sabrina. So, in an ode to painting our whole world a deep brown, we’ve created a four-step process based on some moments from the ‘Espresso’ music video that’ll help you make a mood board!
What’s Your No Cares Given Act?
Would you rather…
- Romance someone into letting you drive their boat only to jerk them off balance so you can steal their black card?
- Or is dancing on a surfboard carried by attractive people more your thing?
- But if it isn’t, once you’re caught and leisurely chill in the back of a police car with your legs twisted up on the front seat, blast your next pop-hit out of the speakers.
Now, Pick Something To Wear!
- A rose-pink, silky headscarf that transports you back to the retro summer of the 50s styled with a white tube dress, a starfish you befriended in the sea stuck to it!
- Or you’re all about supporting one of our favorite members of the blondie superstar tribe with an ‘Espresso’ visor and a patterned bikini set?
- Or, like the rest of us, are you unable to say no to a giant heart-shaped pendant? So we’re further going with a thick white headband and slick, oceanic dress?
How About A Mode Of Transportation?
- Let’s clock our miles in by walking from the shoreline to the beach with a stylish floatie around your neck.
- A swimming pool car, which you’ll then spend an additional hour in to have a photoshoot, right? Or is that just us?
- Or a police car! Because your cares are genuinely on vacation.
Finally, A Lyric!
- “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”
- “Say you can’t sleep, baby, I know / That’s that me, espresso (Yes)”
Carpenters Only Drink Out Of Wooden Mugs
And this was one of those times in my life where it was just like, I just thought I was the sh*t in the moment. And I think you don’t always feel that way, so you kind of have to capture those moments that you do because that’s how you find those little… For me, equating it to caffeine and that addiction was really fun and I definitely have a caffeine addiction as it is.

What’s your mood board aesthetic? As much as we love making them ourselves, we also love seeing them! So tweet us yours over @thehoneypop. Then, if you’re not ready to stop being an ‘Espresso’ girlie, listen in to her Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe; additionally, Sabrina Carpenter has so many cute merchandise items on her website! There are sky-blue crewnecks with bowed Espresso martinis etched on, themed earring sets, and if you live in America, they’ve even brewed up cassette tapes as sweetener packets! If coffee beans were equivalent to money, we’d have none left.
