Sabrina Carpenter reveals she wrote ‘Espresso’ as a manifestation strategy during a lonely period

Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has revealed the story behind her hit song “Espresso,” explaining that she wrote it as a form of “manifestation” when she felt romantically unappreciated. The 25-year-old artist told The Guardian that at the time of writing, she wasn’t romantically involved with anyone and felt that no one was interested in her. This led her to create a song that would bring attention to her and change her situation.
