Sabrina Carpenter‘s Short ‘n Sweet is getting some post-release additions! On Thursday, the “Taste” pop star surprise-released a new Sweet(er) version of her album with an additional song, titled “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 wrote in a note to fans. “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!”
Fans interested in listening to the new song will need to buy a digital version of the album, titled Short n’ Sweet(er), on her digital store, which will feature the standard track list of the album, along with the new song, “Busy Woman.” The new version of the album also features an alternate version of the album cover, this time a seeming digital camera-taken photo of Carpenter during her cover shoot as she bites her nail with a smile.
The new offering of the album comes after she released a digital version of her LP with bonus track “Needless to Say,” which was originally included in a limited-edition vinyl version of the record. “Cmon, you know you can’t resist…..plus there’s an extra sweet something!” reads the description of the bonus track.
The original album, which dropped last week, featured a total of 12 tracks, including “Taste,” “Good Graces,” and “Coincidence,” which brought Carpenter to the writing room with Amy Allen and Julia Michaels. “These songs are usually filthy, always funny, often mean, yet she roasts herself along with everyone else,” read a Rolling Stone review of the album, which earned four stars.
Carpenter celebrated the release of the album by dropping a bloody, campy video alongside Jenna Ortega for her single, “Taste.”
“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,” she told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1 last week. “And I get the feeling, even with the humour and with a healthy dose of judgment in some of these songs, that you were hurting real bad.”
