Sabrina Carpenter gained more success in 2024 with the singles "Espresso" and "Please Please Please", from her fifth studio album, Short n' Sweet.

The third single from the album, "Taste", debuted at number two on the Hot 100 and topped the UK chart. It became both her third UK number-one and third US pop radio airplay number-one. The album entered at number one on the US Billboard 200 album chart, selling 362,000 copies there in its first week.[8]

Sabrina Carpenter followed with a second single, "Please Please Please" on June 6, 2024, which became Sabrina Carpenter's second global chart-topper and her first US Hot 100 number one single.[13][14][15] With these songs, she became the first female artist to hold the number one and two positions on the UK singles chart for three weeks in a row.[16]
