Sabrina Carpenter has just dropped a fresh, reimagined version of her hit song Please Please Please, and this time, she’s teamed up with country legend Dolly Parton.
Released on Valentine’s Day, the collaboration takes the original pop track and infuses it with a country flair, giving it a whole new vibe.
The accompanying music video is just as intriguing, featuring a playful twist that seems to point directly at Sabrina’s ex, actor Barry Keoghan.
The Backstory of the Breakup
For those who’ve been following Sabrina and Barry’s relationship, the new music video adds an extra layer to their very public breakup.
The two were first linked in December 2023, but by December of the following year, they had called it quits.
Sources told People that their busy careers were a major factor in the split, but the public nature of their relationship and breakup has certainly added fuel to the fire.
The Original Video’s Connection to Barry
In the first Please Please Please music video, Barry Keoghan played Sabrina’s rebellious love interest.
The storyline took a dramatic turn when Carpenter handcuffed him to a chair and taped his mouth shut.
It was all fun and games until the couple ended things, and now the lyrics of the song feel a lot more personal.
With the new video, Sabrina and Dolly Parton seem to be picking up where she left off.
The New Video’s Hidden Message
In the new version of the video, Sabrina and Dolly are seen on the run, but there’s a twist.
In the back of their truck, they’re hiding someone.
Although the person’s face is not visible, they’re wearing the same outfit that Barry Keoghan wore in the original video when he was handcuffed and taped up.
It’s a clever nod to their past relationship, and fans are taking notice.
Sabrina’s Love for Storytelling in Her Music
Sabrina Carpenter is known for telling stories through her music and videos, and this one continues that trend.
Espresso, her previous track, ended with her arrest, and Please Please Please kicks off with her release from jail.
This new video feels like another chapter in her musical journey, with just enough of a wink to her former relationship to keep fans talking.
Dolly Parton Joins the Fun
Dolly Parton, who’s known for her own country classics, was all in on the collaboration with Sabrina.
She shared her excitement on Instagram, saying, “Turns out, two things can be short and sweet.
Listen to ‘Please Please Please (feat. Dolly Parton)’ everywhere now!” Sabrina also took to social media to share her love for Dolly, writing, “Love you forever @dollyparton.” It’s clear that this collaboration is all about good vibes and fun music.
Speculation About the Breakup
While neither Sabrina nor Barry Keoghan have publicly addressed the reasons behind their split, rumors have circulated that Keoghan may have cheated.
This caused a significant backlash online, which ultimately led to Keoghan deactivating his Instagram account to escape the harassment.
A Statement Through Music?
With this latest collaboration, is Sabrina Carpenter making a statement about her relationship with Barry? It certainly seems like it.
With Dolly Parton by her side, Carpenter seems to be declaring that their on-screen romance is well and truly over.
Whether you’re enjoying the pop vibe of Espresso or the country feel of Please Please Please, Sabrina continues to make music that keeps listeners engaged.
