I'm just a girl standing in front of a boy asking him to make me Juno...but what do Sabrina Carpenter's 'Juno' lyrics mean?

Her 'Nonsense' outros famously play with English language in new and hilarious ways, and "That's that me Espresso" is the kind of perfect phrase most artists could only dream of writing.

Who is Juno?

Juno is, of course, the famous 2007 movie starring Elliot Page as a teenager going through an unplanned pregnancy. It's a beloved coming of age comedy drama. Sabrina's 'Juno' isn't about the film persay but it does use Juno as inspiration for the song's addictive chorus: If you love me right, then who knows? / I might let you make me Juno.

When asked if 'Juno' is based on the movie in a TikTok Q&A for Spotify, Sabrina said: "That is the Juno I'm referring to. I'm not referring to Mount Juneau, because some people have asked me, I'm like, 'No, it's the pregnant one.'

The song is essentially about being so attracted to someone that you want them to get you pregnant...or at least you think you do. Playing on the concept further, Sabrina sings: You know I just might / Let you lock me down tonight / One of me is cute, but two though? It's horny and romantic and it sounds like a pop classic in the making.

Sabrina makes clear exactly how attracted she is to this person in the bridge adding: Adore me, hold me, and explore me
Mark your territory / Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one / Adore me, hold me, and explore me / I'm so f---in' horny.
