Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan Are Partners in Crime in Her ‘Please Please Please’ Music Video
What’s harder than a hard launch? Sabrina Carpenter might have the answer with her new “Please, Please, Please” music video, which co-stars her real-life boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. In the visuals, the pair play a criminal couple who bail each other out of jail and repeatedly get themselves into trouble—all while being madly in love. (They’re like a fashionable, modern-day Harley Quinn and Joker, and Keoghan is supposedly playing the Batman villain after all.)
While dressed in body-hugging minidresses and neon-colored furs, Carpenter sings about being in a new relationship, wanting it to go right, and praying her partner doesn’t make her look bad. “Heartbreak is one thing / My ego’s another / I beg you don’t embarrass me / Mother fucker,” she says in the chorus. The lyrics seem to directly reference her romance with Keoghan. (They’ve been linked since the fall of 2023.) “I heard that you’re an actor / So act like a stand up guy,” she sings in the first verse about her Oscar-nominated beau.
This marks Carpenter’s second single from her upcoming album, Short ’n Sweet, picking up where “Espresso” left off. Literally speaking, the new music video has her going to jail, following her arrest at the end of the video for “Espresso.”

Carpenter told Cosmopolitan in March that she had been “working on the next thing for a minute,” following her last album Emails I Can’t Send. “I’m starting to feel like I’ve outgrown the songs I’m singing, which is always an exciting feeling because I think that means the next chapter is right around the corner.”
She discussed her approach to dating in the interview, saying, “A lot of it, for me, has been fate. I know that’s super broad, but I don’t actively look for it. The relationships that I actually want to put my energy into have to be so interesting or invigorating because they take me away from the other things I love. So yeah, it’s fun, and it’s messy. I think I’m still just at this place where I’m really enjoying the newness of all of it.”
She added, “When I was younger, the one thing I always thought was, why would I date this person if I didn’t see myself marrying them? I just wouldn’t even put energy into it. But now I have a mentality that there are relationships that are meant to be in your life, even if it’s only for a couple of weeks.”
Listen to “Please Please Please” and read its lyrics below:
I know I have good judgement
I know I have good taste
It’s funny and it’s ironic
That only I feel that way
I promise ‘em that you’re different
And everyone makes mistakes
But just don’tI heard that you’re an actor
So act like a stand up guy
Whatever devils inside you
Don’t let him out tonight
I tell them it’s just your culture
And everyone rolls their eyes
Yeah I knowAll I’m asking baby
Please please please don’t prove I’m right
Please please please
Don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing
My ego’s another
I beg you don’t embarrass me
Mother fucker ahhh
Please please pleaseWell I have a fun idea babe
Maybe just stay inside
I know you’re craving some fresh air
But the ceiling fan is so nice
And we could live so happily
If no one knows that you’re with me
I’m just kidding
But really
Kinda

ReallyPlease please please don’t prove I’m right
Please please please
Don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice
Heartbreak is one thing
My egos another
I beg you don’t embarrass me
Mother fucker ahhh

Don’t do it in front of me
If you don’t wanna cry to my music
Don’t make me hate you prolifically
Please please please
