Sabrina Carpenter just gave us the Valentine’s Day gift we didn’t know we needed: a country-fied version of her hit “Please Please Please” featuring none other than the queen of everything, Dolly Parton. And let us tell you, it’s short n’ sweet perfection.

A Country-Pop Banger with a Side of Drama
The track, released as part of the deluxe edition of Sabrina’s album Short n’ Sweet, is a total vibe. But let’s be real, the real tea here is the music video, which is basically a cinematic masterpiece with a side of petty. Sabrina and Dolly hit the road in a pickup truck, belting out the lyrics like two badass country queens. But wait—it gets better. Dolly hands Sabrina a shovel (yes, a shovel), and the cops start chasing them. Why? Because there’s a dude handcuffed in the back of the truck with a sack on his head, wearing the exact same outfit Barry Keoghan rocked in the original video. Coincidence? We think not.

For those living under a rock, Barry (aka the Saltburn hottie) starred in the OG “Please Please Please” video as Sabrina’s jailbird beau. The video ended with Sabrina ditching him in a warehouse after taping his mouth shut (iconic). Now, in this country remix, it looks like Sabrina’s upgraded her revenge game—and brought Dolly along for the ride.
The lyrics even got a cheeky tweak, with Sabrina and Dolly singing, “I beg you, don’t embarrass me, like the others,” instead of the original’s “mother——.” And let’s not forget the OG diss line: “I heard that you’re an actor, so act like a stand-up guy.” Sabrina, we see you, and we stan.
Sabrina and Barry dated on and off for about a year before calling it quits in late 2024. According to sources, they’re both “young and career-focused,” which is code for “he couldn’t handle her level of iconic.” But hey, at least they gave us some epic Met Gala red carpet moments and now, this absolute bop.
Sabrina took to Instagram to gush about working with Dolly, writing,
“Dolly and me singing in a pickup truck!!!!!! I am so honored to have one of my biggest idols on a song that means so much to me.”

Dolly, ever the legend, posted her own clip with the caption, “Turns out, two things can be short and sweet.” Dolly, you’re a national treasure, and we love you for this.

The deluxe edition of Short n’ Sweet also includes four other tracks, including “Busy Woman,” which Sabrina debuted on her sold-out tour. But let’s be real, the Dolly collab is the star of the show.
