’s “Please Please Please” is certainly not embarrassing her, motherfucker. (Or “little sucker” if you prefer the clean version, which , feels infinitely dirtier than its explicit counterpart.) The Jack Antonoff-produced track just netted the pop star her first-ever number-one single, after debuting at number two on the chart last week.
Featuring lyrics like “Well, I have a fun idea, babe, maybe just stay inside/I know you’re cravin’ some fresh air, but the ceiling fan is so nice,” and a funny dig at Carpenter’s actor boyfriend, Barry Keoghan, “Please Please Please” is a fun plea to a partner to just keep it together for once. Keoghan also features in the music video, which sees the singer and actor gallivanting around as a -style crime duo. The success of “Please Please Please” is also causing problems for the Jack Antonoff haters camp.
“I think he’s one of the most talented people I’ve ever met. When he’s in a room, he’s able to literally touch every instrument in the room and make it sound magical,” Carpenter said of her in a recent profile. Wherever you stand on Antonoff, it’s hard to argue with 50.
9 million streams. “Please Please Please” isn’t the only song Carpenter fans can’t get out of their heads right now. (The fact that it seems to autoplay after literally every single other song on Spotify also can’t hurt.
) “Espresso” continues to wake people up in the number four spot, heading into its 10th week on the chart.
