Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has delighted fans with a surprise release! Just weeks after her highly successful album Short ‘n Sweet debuted, Carpenter unveiled a Sweet(er) version, featuring a brand new track titled “Busy Woman.” This unexpected addition is already generating buzz and excitement among her global fanbase, eager for more from the rising star.
Carpenter announced the surprise via a personal note to her fans, explaining the origins of “Busy Woman.” “[Surprise bitch! I wrote Busy Woman with Jack [Antonoff] and Amy [Allen] just after I turned in the album and was so sad I couldn’t include it,” she shared. “It’s one of my favorites so I wanted to give it to you as a thank you for all of the love!!!!! Hope you enjoy it!” The collaboration with renowned songwriters Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen adds further credibility and anticipation for this fresh track.
For fans wanting to dive into “Busy Woman,” the song is exclusively available on the digital Short n’ Sweet(er) album. This special edition can be purchased through Sabrina Carpenter’s official online store and includes the original album tracklist plus the bonus song. Adding another layer of collectibility for fans, the Sweet(er) release also boasts an alternate album cover. This new artwork presents a candid, digital camera-style shot of Carpenter from her original album photoshoot, playfully biting her nail with a smile.
This isn’t the first bonus offering for Short ‘n Sweet. Previously, a digital version featuring “Needless to Say” as a bonus track was released, initially exclusive to a limited-edition vinyl. The description for that bonus track playfully teased, “Cmon, you know you can’t resist…..plus there’s an extra sweet something!” Carpenter clearly understands how to keep her audience engaged and eager for more.
The original Short ‘n Sweet album, released to critical and commercial acclaim, already showcased 12 standout tracks, including the hit single “Taste” and fan favorites like “Good Graces” and “Coincidence.” A Rolling Stone review lauded the album with four stars, highlighting Carpenter’s songwriting prowess: “These songs are usually filthy, always funny, often mean, yet she roasts herself along with everyone else.” The album’s success was further amplified by the viral and visually striking music video for “Taste,” featuring Jenna Ortega.
Carpenter herself has described Short ‘n Sweet as an exploration of self-discovery and navigating heartbreak, telling Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, “I feel a thread running through this album of not just self-discovery, but also getting through the heartache and heartbreak that can often … Man, it can really break you for a long time.” With the surprise release of “Busy Woman” and the Sweet(er) edition, Sabrina Carpenter continues to solidify her position as a dynamic and innovative force in pop music.
