Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” Lyrics Are Similar To An Olivia Rodrigo Song
The track leaves quite the impression — five feet to be exact.
Sabrina Carpenter has good musical taste, as proven by her breakout hits “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” and apparently, that extends to her choice of men. On “Taste,” the latest single from her new album, Short n’ Sweet, the singer leaves a sweet-yet-stern warning to her ex-lover’s new girl.
Carpenter opens the song by joking about her small but mighty frame, reminding her ex’s new woman that he was interested in her first. “Oh, I leave quite an impression, five feet to be exact,” she quips. “You’re wonderin’ why half his clothes went missin’, my body’s where they’re at.”
She predicts every trick her ex is pulling on the new girl, as she’s seen all his moves firsthand — a message that’s similar to Olivia Rodrigo’s 2021 hit “Deja Vu.” But Carpenter’s memories are a bit less wholesome than watching Glee and eating strawberry ice cream.
“He pins you down on the carpet, makes paintings with his tongue,” she sings in the second verse. “Hе’s funny, now all his jokes hit different, guеss who he learned that from?”
Carpenter has chosen “Taste” as the third single from her new album, and accompanied its release with a horror-inspired music video co-starring Jenna Ortega. The two get embroiled in a violent battle over Carpenter’s ex, reminiscent of Death Becomes Her, complete with a bloody stomach hole. She references Psycho as well, when Carpenter finds him and Ortega in the shower, before they both realize that he was never worth it.
Sabrina Carpenter’s “Taste” Lyrics
Read the full lyrics to Carpenter’s new single below.
Oh, I leave quite an impression
Five feet to be exact
You’re wonderin’ why half his clothes went missin’
My body’s where they’re at
Now I’m gone, but you’re still layin’
Next to me, one degree of separation
I heard you’re back together and if that’s true
You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you
If you want forever, I bet you do
Just know you’ll taste me too
Uh-huh
He pins you down on the carpet
Makes paintings with his tongue (la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Hе’s funny, now all his jokes hit different
Guеss who he learned that from?
Now I’m gone, but you’re still layin’
Next to me, one degree of separation
I heard you’re back together and if that’s true
You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you
If you want forever, I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know you’ll taste me too
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Every time you close your eyes
And feel his lips, you’re feelin’ mine
And every time you breathe his air
Just know I was already there
You can have him if you like
I’ve been there, done that once or twice
And singin’ ’bout it don’t mean I care
Yeah, I know I’ve been known to share
Well, I heard you’re back together and if that’s true
You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you
If you want forever, I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know you’ll taste me too
Taste me too, ow (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you
You, no, yeah, ah-ah (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you
