Hey, I'm Candace Lim.

And I'm Rachel Hampton, and you're listening to I see why am I.

In case you missed it.

Slate's podcast about internet culture.

And Rachel, I'm worried.

Oh my God, why?

I'm worried because it's officially the first week of May and I'm stressed.

Hmm.

Are you, is it about students getting permanently banned from campus for protesting genocide? Is it, is it the

election? Is it the Olympics? No, Rachel. I am stressed about Sabrina Carpenter.

Here's the deal. It has come to my attention that we possibly have a contender for Song of the Summer and the Street, aka Twitter, are saying that it's possibly espresso by Sabrina Carpenter?

This is the sweet I kiss, so you can't sleep, baby I don't know, that means my soul.

This is the latest single from Sabrina, who you may know as an actress from shows like Girl Meets World or that Netflix movie, Work It.

But she is fully in her pop girl era with possible domination on the horizon because she just opened for Taylor Swift on the era's tour.

And let's not forget maybe the most important indicator of pop girldom, which is that she has an Irish boyfriend.

Barry Keegan, who has an infant at home, but is also in Singapore and Indio, California to see my

alleged he-he-he-he girlfriend sing about him in the outro of nonsense.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh.

So, Rachel, let's talk about this.

Is espresso the song in the summer?

You're not the first person who's asked me this specific question.
