Here's everything Sabrina Carpenter has said about her new album Short N' Sweet, collabs with Tyla and all the vinyl variants.
She's working late 'cause she's a singer. Sabrina Carpenter's new album 'Short n' Sweet' is coming but when does it drop?
After years of hard work, Sabrina Carpenter has officially reached main pop girlie status. Her last album 'Emails I Can't Send' debuted to critical acclaim and it's since spawned two chart smashes: 'Nonsense' and 'Feather'. Not to mention, Sabrina's single 'Espresso' is now her first Top 10 hit in the US and Number 1 single in the UK. It's a great time to be a carpenter.
Now, Sabrina has announced her sixth studio album 'Short n' Sweet' and released its second single 'Please Please Please'. Here's everything we know about the new project so far including the release date, tracklist, collaborators and more.
Sabrina Carpenter reveals her fave ‘Nonsense’ outro
Sabrina Carpenter is releasing 'Short n' Sweet' on August 23rd. Taking to Instagram on June 3rd, Sabrina shared the cover art and wrote: "“Short n’ Sweet” MY NEW ALBUM IS COMING OUT AUGUST 23rd!!!!💋 this project is quite special to me and i hope it’ll be something special to you too. you can preorder it now!"
She also teased: "i also have a surprise coming for you on thursday night so keep an eye out!!" It has since been revealed that the "surprise" was Sabrina's latest single 'Please Please Please' and her boyfriend Barry Keoghan is in the video.
Sabrina's been quietly working on music since 2023. Speaking to Cosmopolitan in March, Sabrina said: "I’m trying to really take this experience in before moving on to the next thing…but I’ve been working on the next thing for a minute."
She added: "I’m starting to feel like I’ve outgrown the songs I’m singing, which is always an exciting feeling because I think that means the next chapter is right around the corner."
You can currently order the album on vinyl, cd and cassette from Sabrina's official store. As it stands, there is just one vinyl variant and picture disc. The vinyl comes in a striking blue colour, and the picture disc is a photo of Sabrina in a pink slip with lipstick kisses all over the back.
Sabrina is also selling an array of exclusive 'Short n' Sweet' merch on her website including short-sleeve tees, long-sleeve tees and hoodies.
For the time being, you can't preorder physical copies of the album anywhere else but we'll let you know when you can.
For the time being, no tracks have officially been confirmed for Sabrina Carpenter's sixth album 'Short n' Sweet' outside of the smash hit 'Espresso' and Sabrina's new single 'Please Please Please'. However, you can now presave the album on Apple Music now and it's 12 tracks long.
Sabrina didn't reveal the tracklist for 'Emails I Can't Send' until the week before it dropped so it may be a while before we get the 'Short n' Sweet' tracklist in full.
Sabrina Carpenter - Please Please Please (Official Video)
Sabrina co-wrote 'Espresso' with her longterm collaborators Amy Allen, Steph Jones and Julian Bunetta who've previously worked on her songs including 'Nonsense', 'Feather' and 'Vicious'. Meanwhile, 'Please Please Please' was co-written with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff. 'Please Please Please' is Sabrina's first time working with Jack on a song.
As for other collaborators on the album, Sabrina is yet to say anything but she's been spotted back in the studio with Amy Allen and Julia Michaels ('Because I Liked a Boy'). Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez producer Ian Kirkpatrick was also there.
Elsewhere, Sabrina's been spotted with Billie Eilish's brother and producer Finneas recently so it's possible he could be working with Sabrina too.

For her last album 'Emails I Can't Send', there were no collabs on the main tracklist so it's possible that 'Short n' Sweet' will be a solo Sabrina Carpenter affair. That being said, fans have spotted Sabrina and Tyla commenting on each other's posts on Instagram.
On June 5, Sabrina wrote: "would love to take you to dinner" on a Tyla post. Tyla then responded: "pick me up at 4:11". A coincidence? I think not!

As for the vibe of her upcoming music, Sabrina told Interview: “I feel a lot freer and more excited about what I’m making now because I’ve realised that genre isn’t necessarily the most important thing. It’s about honesty and authenticity and whatever you gravitate towards."
She continued: "There were a lot of genres in my last album, and I like to think I’ll continue that throughout writing music."
Bring on SC6!
