30 Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics for Your Next Instagram Caption
Choosing the perfect Instagram caption has become an art form of its own.
How do we encapsulate the content we share with the world in a few words? Thankfully, when our creativity lacks inspiration, we can look to music to describe our feelings.
An artist who can always be relied on to deliver excellent lyrics to use is Sabrina Carpenter. The pop princess released her sixth studio album in August, complete with addictive hooks and cheeky phrases that have been repeated in our heads. Thanks to her almost-decade-long career, we’ve selected 30 lyrics from her extensive discography for your next Instagram post.
“Don’t bring me to tears when I just did my makeup so nice”
Please Please Please
Please Please Please is the second single of Short n’ Sweet. The love song has an 80s disco-pop feel as she expresses her desire to protect her relationship and pride, begging her partner not to abash her. This line pulled from the chorus, though with a twinge of melancholy, can definitely be used to showcase a makeup look you’re proud of.
Perfect for: A fun or well-executed makeup look. Bonus if it’s 80s-inspired.
“Guess you think it’s entertaining, early-twenties judgment”
Needless To Say
Needless To Say is a vinyl-exclusive track of Short n’ Sweet. The song calls out invasive media and online haters, urging them to do something more with their lives instead of dissecting everything she does. This line pulled from the first verse was seemingly intended to be a dig, but we think it’s fitting to showcase your own amusing and possibly questionable adventures. It could be skydiving or running on the beach at 3 am, the world is your oyster.
Perfect for: An exciting photo dump.
“You make me wanna make you fall in love”
Juno
Juno is the tenth song on the Short n’ Sweet tracklist. Its theme surrounds the idea of her partner making her feel so strongly that she’d be willing to get pregnant by them, a playful ode to the 2007 movie of the same name. While you may or may not be ready to start a family, this lyric is a cheeky way to accompany your pictures with your significant other.
Perfect for: Couples.
“I know I Mountain Dew it for ya”
Espresso
Espresso took the world by storm as the lead single ushering in the Short n’ Sweet era. Sabrina describes herself as the coffee in her partner’s life that keeps him up and has her constantly circulating his mind. This lyric is a play on words referencing “I know I do it for you,” as Mountain Dew is a caffeinated drink like espresso. Gas station coolers make a cute background for your pictures, so make sure to grab a bottle of the beverage as a prop.
Perfect for: Gas station pictures.
“I leave quite an impression, Five feet to be exact”
Taste
Taste is the third single of the Short n’ Sweet era. This danceable hit speaks on revenge and betrayal, expressing to his partner’s affair that she will always feel the taste of Sabrina on his lips. This lyric refers to Sabrina’s real-life pocket-sized height, and fitting for the short people everywhere to post pictures emphasizing their larger-than-life personalities.
Perfect for: Any personality shots or your best pictures.
“When I love you, I’m sweet like an angel”
Good Graces
Good Graces is the third track of Short n’ Sweet, a song oozing with confidence and boundary-setting with a partner. The message asserts that while Sabrina is loving in a relationship, she is not afraid to leave and move on if she’s not treated well. This lyric represents the former half of that and is perfect for your soft and cosy aesthetic.
Perfect for: Cottagecore or soft girl pictures.
“All of the snow is fallin’, I can make you fall too”
Santa Doesn’t Know You Like I Do
Santa Doesn’t Know You Like I Do is the third track of Sabrina’s holiday EP, Fruitcake. The pop ballad expresses yearning for a partner who is away from the holidays, differentiating Santa’s surface-level gifts from the deep connection and intimacy they share. As we approach the season, this lyric is perfect to feature a winter wonderland and your true love.
Perfect for: Holiday couple pictures.
“Fruitcake just makes me sick (ugh)”
Is It New Years Yet?
Is It New Years Yet? is the fifth song of Fruitcake, expressing frustration with being alone for Christmas and the desire to celebrate with someone new on New Year’s Eve.

“I might change your contact to “Don’t Leave Me Alone””
Nonsense
Nonsense is the fifth single of Sabrina’s fifth studio album, Emails I Can’t Send. This fun track took social media by storm, especially during the Emails I Can’t Send Tour where she changed the outro each night to reflect the city. The song refers to feeling so deeply about a significant partner can make her blabber nonsense out of nervousness. The song is filled with humorous lyrics, and we think this one is perfect to tell the world about that person you can’t get enough of.
Perfect for: Relationship hard launch.
“These are fast times and fast nights”
Fast Times
Fast Times is the first single of Emails I Can’t Send. It serves as a reminder to live life to the fullest and enjoy the present, as she mentions that we have “no time for rewrites”.

“I’m so sorry for your loss”
Feather
Feather is the lead single of Emails I Can’t Send Fwd:, the deluxe edition of Sabrina’s fifth studio album, and the sixth single overall. The disco-inspired pop song speaks on feeling lighter “like a feather” after cutting off a toxic relationship and effectively disassociating from them completely. If you’ve recently cut ties with someone (partner, friend, family member, etc.) and looking to celebrate that release, this one’s for you.
Perfect for: Dolled-up pictures so they can appreciate what they no longer have.
“It’s cold out there, let me know what you found”
Bet U Wanna
Bet U Wanna is the eighth track of Emails I Can’t Send. This sultry song discusses realizing your worth as a partner tries to come back when you no longer need them.

The true beauty of music is the option of interpretation.
Perfect for: Nightlife pictures or cozy indoor pictures.
“I’m pushing 20, Got no time for others who ain’t on the same wave”

Take Off All Your Cool
Take Off All Your Cool is the fifth track of Singular: Act II. The song centres around Sabrina’s desire for her partner to stop putting on a perfect front and simply be themself around her. She wants to know what’s under the surface so they can get to know each other better. This lyric is perfect to showcase unplanned pictures, the real and vulnerable side of yourself or others.
Perfect for: Candid pictures.
“I’m fallin’ down like a summer rain”
Tell Em
Tell Em is the sixth track of Singular: Act II. The sensual song is about keeping a relationship secret and not subjecting it to the opinions of others.

Perfect for: Summer photo dump.
“Parisian nights, Parisian high, Parisian breeze”
Paris
Paris is a promotional single for Singular: Act I, the first act of a two-part album and Sabrina’s third studio album overall.

Hold Tight
Hold Tight is the third track of Singular: Act I and a collaboration with UHMEER (Amir Mitchell-Townes), Sabrina’s co-star on Girl Meets World.

This lyric from the first verse references Sabrina’s justification as to why they can take a night off, and we think it’s perfect for a recap of a period of your life, like the school semester, the entire year, or a travel venture.
Perfect for: Any kind of recap.
“So sue me for looking too pretty tonight”
Sue Me
Sue Me is the second single of Singular: Act I. Inspired by a real-life lawsuit issued to Sabrina a year before the song was released, it is the epitome of strength and confidence after leaving a relationship that wasn’t serving her anymore. While it’s a great caption for any post when you feel beautiful, we think it could have a special impact on your birthday. After all, it’s the best day to look “too pretty”.
Perfect for: Your birthday.
“You ignore the music on the radio, I don’t, I sing along”
Why
Why is a single featured on the Japanese deluxe version of Singular: Act I. The electropop song is about being the complete opposite of her partner, but still being made for each other. She was inspired by people’s differences, as they can bring us closer together rather than divulge us.

Thumbs
Thumbs is the second single of EVOlution. It brings awareness to the commonalities that we all have as humans and cautions against becoming someone stuck in mediocrity or simply following the herd.

Perfect for: A hobbies spotlight.
“When I’m in the darkness, The dawn is having you by my side”
No Words
No Words is the fourth track of EVOlution, referring to the experience of basking in the presence of your lover when you’re feeling down.

Perfect for: Pictures that show what girlhood is.
“They will see us in the sky, We’ll be the stars”
