-- Shares Facebook Twitter Reddit Email Following the release of her chart-topping singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” Sabrina Carpenter made her debut appearance on this week’s episode of “Hot Ones.” In addition to trying her luck with the infamously spicy wings of death, Carpenter sat down with host Sean Evans to discuss the craft of songwriting and her most memorable fan interaction. It’s Carpenter’s “Espresso” — which currently sits at number four on the Billboard Top 100 — that inspired several memes poking fun at the song’s main hook.
In it, Carpenter sings, “That’s that me espresso,” a catchphrase many of her fans found catchy yet utterly ridiculous . Carpenter explained that she intentionally kept the syntax tacky in her song. “So much of what I like is the punchline.
If people don’t know the punchline, it’s like, waste,” she explained. “That’s how I feel about ‘me espresso.’ I’ve heard a lot of people that were like, ‘She should’ve said, That’s that blonde espresso, duh .
’ And I’m like, ‘Well, yes. That is another song as well that deserves its spot in the world, but this one for me ..
. ‘me espresso’ just felt like the right thing to say, and it rhymes with the line before it.’” Related “Hot Ones”: Will Smith revealed the hardest "hit" he took on set while taking on the wings of death “I just think it’s so funny,” she added.
