Sabrina Carpenter’s New Song ‘Skin’ Her Response to ‘Drivers License’?

It takes three to like triangle, and we’ve lastly heard from the third get together in the continued High School Musical: The Musical: The Series drama. A fast recap for those who’ve one way or the other averted this story to this point: HSMTMTS star Olivia Rodrigo releases her debut single, “Drivers License”; it appears to deal with her break up from co-star Joshua Bassett, who’s allegedly now relationship fellow young-adult star Sabrina Carpenter; Bassett releases his personal music, “Lie Lie Lie,” the week after, much less particular however seen by followers as a response; “Drivers License” debuts at No. 1 on the “Sizzling 100.” Now, Carpenter has launched her new music, “Pores and skin,” giving us a 3rd Friday in a row of decoding music lyrics.

Not like her rumored boyfriend (they’re nonetheless not official), Sabrina Carpenter has given us some clear references to work with in her synth-pop bop. “Possibly then we may faux / There’s no gravity within the phrases we write,” she sings within the first verse. “Possibly you didn’t imply it / Possibly ‘blonde’ was the one rhyme.” Sabrina Carpenter comes out the gate with a reasonably clear response to Rodrigo’s reference to “that blonde woman,” regarded as Carpenter, in “Drivers License.” However that’s not even Carpenter’s smoking gun. Within the bridge, she sings, “Don’t drive your self insane / It gained’t all the time be this manner,” seeming to verify the identify of Rodrigo’s music and make clear that “Pores and skin” is a direct response.

The remainder of the lyrics to “Pores and skin” could also be much less clear references, however that doesn’t make them much less direct jabs at Rodrigo. “You’re tellin’ it the way you see it / Like fact is no matter you determine,” Sabrina Carpenter sings within the second verse. “You’re placing me within the highlight / However I’ve been underneath all of it my life,” she provides, referencing her for much longer profession, which features a essential position on Girl Meets World and 4 studio albums. After which there’s the refrain, which sounds to be a major flex on Rodrigo: “You may attempt / To get underneath my, underneath my, underneath my pores and skin / Whereas hе’s on mine / Yeah, all on my, all on my, all on my pores and skin.” Carpenter hasn’t straight commented with reference to “Pores and skin” — leaving us to, as the girl herself sings, “learn in between the traces.”
