Katy Perry is working late… with all her roles!
The superstar took to Instagram to share a sweet video lip syncing along to Sabrina Carpenter’s summery new single, “Espresso,” while she changes from a casual outfit on the set of American Idol into a stunning purple leather dress ready for the taping. “I’m a singerrrr (and a mother, and a judge, and a…),” she captioned the post in reference to the track’s viral lyrics: “I’m working late ’cause I’m a singer / Oh, he looks so cute wrapped ’round my finger.”
Carpenter released “Espresso” right before she took the stage at Coachella earlier this month. The track launched to No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart dated April 27, 2024.
“Weirdly enough, ended up writing this song in France, and I think that that probably had a little bit of inspiration to how the song ended up feeling,” the pop star told Apple Music 1’s Zane Lowe of the track. “It just had that excitement and that energy of almost kind of traveling the world. We wrote it in France and I remember it being a very, very quick process. I mean, from start to finish I think that’s why you can kind of feel how fun it is. And I think for me, there was something really exciting about the fact that there was so much personality throughout the entire song, because those are the ones that are really, really fun to sing live with a crowd. Those are the ones that people, I think when they don’t know my music or who I am or anything, they can just tune in to a single song and kind of leave with a better idea of my sense of humor.”
