It seems like it’s “Slim Pickins” for parents to find a child-appropriate tune on Sabrina Carpenter’s latest album.
The 12-track LP, titled “Short n’ Sweet,” is chock-full of innuendos, expletives and sexually charged lyrics, which have caused a stir online among listeners.
“Juno” — one of the more popular songs from the album — features lyrics in which a crooning Carpenter describes herself as “so f—ing horny.”
Parents in particular are witnessing — or rather, hearing — the consequences of letting their kids listen to the explicit version of the songs.
Mom Brielle Cherie admitted the hit “Please Please Please” had been “on repeat” and that her son had memorized a curse word in the catchiest part of the tune, belting out the word “motherf—er” on camera.
“MOMS… be careful out there,” she captioned the TikTok clip, on which Carpenter commented that she was “so sorry” and announced she “dropped the clean” version.
“I’m afraid there’s no going back at this point it’s a bop he will not forget lol,” Cherie added. “As long as he only sings it at home we are good.”
Fellow mom Hannah Jones revealed that her child had also taken a liking to the same song — and, begrudgingly, the same swear word.
“Sabrina babe, I’m so glad you came out with a clean version…… but it’s a day too late,” Jones wrote on a TikTok video.
“The way my child yelled ‘motherf—er’ for the first time on her 6th birthday while she was singing this song is now a core memory.”
Meanwhile, young fans of Carpenter’s were mortified that they had bought tickets to attend the pop star’s tour with their parents before the album was released, only to hear the sexually explicit lyrics that they’ll inevitably be singing in front of their moms.
“Please wish me luck I’m going to this tour with my mom WHOM WANTS TO BRING MY GRANDMOTHER IF MY SISTER CANT MAKE IT,” one fan freaked.
“Good luck to the brave people going to the ‘Short n’ Sweet’ concert with parents,” wrote one teen TikTokker.
“Concert tickets need to be sold AFTER the album comes out. I dont know why it’s the other way around,” complained one viewer.
One Carpenter fan hoping to capitalize on a potential mass sale of tickets for the sold-out tour wrote: “Wow this album is so inappropriate for children! (parents please get rid of your short n’ sweet tickets and sell them to me).”
“Let’s pray for all the mums of nine-year-old kiddies wanting to play ‘Short n’ Sweet’ in the car right now,” another user wrote on a TikTok video, with the caption: :This album is so ovulation coded.”
The former Disney Channel star and her fans have dubbed the new album, which was released last week, an “ovulation album,” — or, in other words, extremely horny — referring to the spike in hormones when a woman is ovulating.
“Sabrina releasing an entire ovulation album was the missing piece to hot girl summer,” wrote one fan while lip-syncing to the song “Bed Chem.”
“The ovulation album of the year goes to Sabrina Carpenter,” another agreed.
