Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has once again captured the spotlight with the surprise release of Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe) on February 14, 2025. The expanded edition of her critically acclaimed album brings five brand-new tracks, including a highly anticipated collaboration with country music icon Dolly Parton.
The new version of Carpenter’s hit single, Please Please Please, now reimagined as a country-infused duet, arrives with a visually stunning music video filmed in Nashville, paying homage to classic American road trip films.
Sabrina Carpenter and Dolly Parton Team Up for “Please Please Please” Duet
One of the most exciting aspects of Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe) is the collaboration between Carpenter and Parton, two generations of powerhouse vocalists coming together for a unique musical experience. Their duet on Please Please Please brings a fresh country twist to the song, blending Carpenter’s smooth pop vocals with Parton’s legendary country charm.
Sharing her excitement on Instagram, Carpenter wrote:
“Dolly and me singing in a pickup truck!!!!!! I am so honored to have one of my biggest idols on a song that means so much to me. Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe) is out now! Go watch and listen!!!! Love you forever @dollyparton 🤍🦋.”
Dolly Parton, equally thrilled, responded with a post of her own, sharing a video clip from the song and writing:
“Turns out, two things can be short and sweet 😉 Listen to ‘Please Please Please (feat. Dolly Parton)’ everywhere now! ❤️ @sabrinacarpenter.”
The music video, directed by Philip Andelman and filmed in Nashville, offers a visually captivating narrative. Inspired by the classic road trip film Thelma & Louise, the video follows Carpenter and Parton as they embark on a high-energy adventure, ultimately leading to a dramatic police chase.
A Nod to Barry Keoghan?
In an interesting twist, the Please Please Please video also includes a subtle nod to Carpenter’s ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. Keoghan was the lead actor in the original Please Please Please music video, where he played a charming yet mischievous character. The reference in the new video suggests a playful continuation of the song’s narrative, sparking fan theories online.
