Sabrina Carpenter has explained the meaning behind the lyrics to her new song ‘Espresso’.The song arrived last month, and came as the follow-up to her hit 2022 album ‘Emails I Can’t Send’ and recent singles ‘Nonsense’ and ‘Feather’.It also came following the singer dropping a Christmas EP, and hitting the road with Taylor Swift, as she joined the pop icon as the support act for her recent run of ‘Eras’ tour dates across the US and Asia.Now, Carpenter has opened up on the meaning behind the lyrics to the song, and explained that it’s about embracing the times when your confidence is skyrocketing.“Now he’s thinkin’ about me every night / 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”, she sings in the chorus, also making more references to the feeling of someone being addicted to you in a relationship.Explaining how she came to write the song in a new interview with Apple Music, the pop star revealed that she began work on the track while she was in France and looking to create a song that would be ideal to play live, but also have a sense of humour to it.“There was something really exciting about the fact that there was so much personality throughout the entire song, because those are the ones that are really, really fun to sing live with a crowd,” she explained.“Those are the ones that people, I think when they don’t know my music or who I am or anything, they can just tune in to a single song and kind of leave with a better idea of my sense of humour.”She also made reference to the empowering lyrics throughout, and explained that she was looking to capture the time when she felt confident in herself.“This was

Thania Garcia Virginia-bred singer Tommy Richman makes his Billboard Hot 100 debut with “Million Dollar Baby” after the single experienced staggering growth in a rollout that started April 13 when Richman posted a snippet of the song online. The song, which makes the most of its catchy bassline and hook, caught fire on TikTok, where the original teaser logged over 8 million views. It was released April 26 and debuts on the Hot 100 at No.
2 with 38 million streams and 302,000 radio airplay audience impressions, according to data by Luminate. This is Richman’s first time on the Hot 100, and second on the Billboard charts since he featured on Brent Faiyaz’s “Upset,” which landed on Nos. 12 and 33 on the publication’s Hot R&B Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, respectively.
Richman is signed to Faiyaz’s ISO Supremacy label. Richman’s No. 2 debut is the highest for a first Hot 100 entry by an artist with no prior history on the chart since Oliver Anthony Music became the first act to top the Hot 100 with no previous chart history with “Rich Men North of Richmond.” While Taylor Swift and Post Malone’s “Fortnight” keeps at No.
