It was widely acknowledged that Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso was 2024’s song of the summer, and now it has three Grammy nominations to prove it. What makes it such a bop? Let’s find out!
There are a lot of alternate versions of the track out there: the extended “Espressooooo” version, the sped up “Double Shot” version, and my personal favorite, the slowed down “Decaf” version. The instrumental is called “On Vacation”, and the acapella is called “Mochapella”. Somebody in Island Records’ marketing department was very caffeinated that day.
