The fan theories continue as others suggest Sabrina's track 'Skin' is the singer's response - including lyrics such as: 'Maybe we could've been friends, if I met you in another life. Maybe then we could pretend there's no gravity in the words we write. Maybe you didn't mean it, maybe blonde was the only rhyme'.

Sabrina Carpenter's perfume

It's no secret that Sabrina has some of the catchiest lyrics in the game - including the 'Espresso' line: "Soft skin and I perfumed it for you". Well, thankfully, we can all bring those lyrics to life, with Sabrina now having three of her own scents!

Yep, already having two perfumes under her belt - in the form of Sweet Tooth and Caramel Dream - the singer has now released another signature scent to add to her collection - Cherry Baby.

Released on 25th July 2024, the singer wrote on Instagram: 'My new fragrance, Cherry Baby is now available in the US at fragrancebysabrina.com! We will release it internationally very soon. Go get yours, i hope you love it as much as i do🍒'. (sic)

At the moment, Sabrina's new perfume Cherry Baby is only available in the US from her official website, fragrancebysabrina.com. International shipping is not yet available, meaning we'll have to wait a little bit here in the UK to get our hands on it - but, rest assured, the singer has confirmed it will be released internationally soon.

Sabrina teased the new scent in mid-July 2024, writing: 'soft skin and i 🍒 it for you. fragrancebysabrina.com. 7/25/24'. (sic), quoting her own iconic lyrics from the Platinum certified 'Espresso'.

Taking the emoji as a pretty big hint, fans were expecting the scent to have fruity notes - cherries, to be precise - and with her official site also picturing a bowl of the specific fruit, it was a pretty safe assumption.
