Sabrina Carpenter and Dolly Parton have teamed up for a remix that’s as iconic as it is unexpected. Their reimagined version of “Please Please Please.” It’s a playful mix of pop and country. The collaboration brings together Carpenter’s modern pop sensibilities and Parton’s timeless charm in a track that feels fresh and fun.
If the song wasn’t enough to get fans talking, the accompanying music video certainly is. Directed by Carpenter and Sean Price Williams, the video pays respect to the classic film Thelma & Louise in the most entertaining way possible. Shot in black-and-white, it features Carpenter and Parton on a carefree road trip in a pickup truck, singing their hearts out as they cruise through scenic backroads. The twist? There’s a man tied up in the truck bed—a cheeky nod that fans speculate could reference Carpenter’s rumored past relationship with actor Barry Keoghan. The duo’s chemistry shines throughout, blending humor with a sense of empowerment as they take control of their narrative.
Carpenter couldn’t hide her excitement about working with Parton, sharing on social media: “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.” Meanwhile, Dolly brought her signature wit to the collaboration, posting behind-the-scenes moments with the caption: “Turns out, two things can be short and sweet.”
The remix is just one highlight of the deluxe edition of Short n’ Sweet, which also includes five new tracks like “15 Minutes” and “Busy Woman.” Coming off her recent Grammy wins for the original album, Sabrina Carpenter is proving she’s not just a rising star—she’s here to stay. Fans have been quick to praise the remix for its blend of humor, storytelling, and emotional depth, calling it one of Carpenter’s most exciting collaborations yet.
