In a harmonious blend of pop and country, Sabrina Carpenter and Dolly Parton have teamed up for a reimagined version of Carpenter’s hit “Please Please Please.” Released on February 14, 2025, as part of the deluxe edition of Carpenter’s album Short n’ Sweet, this collaboration offers a fresh take on the chart-topping single.
The accompanying music video, filmed in Nashville, showcases Carpenter and Parton embarking on a rebellious adventure reminiscent of classic Americana narratives. The duo is seen driving a vintage pickup truck through scenic backroads, with scenes hinting at Carpenter’s past relationship with actor Barry Keoghan, who featured in the original video. Notably, the new visuals include a handcuffed man in the truck’s bed, drawing parallels to the previous storyline.
Musically, the duet infuses “Please Please Please” with a country flair, blending Parton’s iconic vocals with Carpenter’s pop sensibilities. The deluxe album also features four additional tracks, expanding on the original release’s success. Carpenter expressed her excitement about collaborating with one of her musical idols, stating, “I am so honored to have one of my biggest idols on a song that means so much to me.”
This partnership not only bridges generational gaps but also highlights the versatility of both artists, offering fans a unique fusion of genres and storytelling.
