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.
