Written by djfrosty on August 30, 2024
Sabrina Carpenter has been one busy woman. Just one week after dropping her sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet, the 25-year-old pop star released a surprise bonus track — and Barry Keoghan was first in line to download.
Sharing an outtake from her Short n’ Sweet cover shoot, Carpenter announced the new song on Instagram Thursday (Aug. 29). “surprise b—h!” she captioned the post.
The “Feather” singer went on to explain that she penned the song — titled “Busy Woman” — with producer Jack Antonoff and cowriter Amy Allen after she turned her new album in to her record label. “[I] was so sad i couldn’t include it…,” she added, noting that the song would only be available to purchase on her website for a limited time. “it’s one of my favorites so i wanted to give it to you as a thank you for all of the love!!!!!”
Trending on Billboard
In the comments, her Academy Award-nominated boyfriend was quick to show support. “Lets feckin go!! 🔥🥵” Keoghan wrote.
After Carpenter dropped Short n’ Sweet on Aug. 23, fans were quick to speculate that the Work It star wrote some of the project’s songs about the Irish actor — particularly the NSFW “Bed Chem.” “I was in a sheer dress the day that we met/ We were both in a rush, we talked for a sec,” she sings on the track. “Who’s the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent? … Who’s the cute guy with the wide, blue eyes?”
Keoghan also stars opposite Carpenter in the music video for her Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Please Please Please,” which is featured on Short n’ Sweet. The pair first sparked dating rumors in late 2023, a few months before making their public debut at the Vanity Fair Oscars afterparty in March.
