Carpenter released her viral hit “Espresso” right before she took the stage at Coachella back in April. The track currently sits at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

In February, the 25-year-old pop star confirmed in an Interview conversation with Maya Hawke that she was working on the follow-up to her 2022 fifth studio album, Emails I Can’t Send. “I feel a lot freer and more excited about what I’m making now because I’ve realized that genre isn’t necessarily the most important thing,” she revealed. “It’s about honesty and authenticity and whatever you gravitate towards. There were a lot of genres in my last album, and I like to think I’ll continue that throughout writing music.”

The singer’s Emails I Can’t Send, which features hits like “Nonsense,” “Feather” and “Because I Liked a Boy” peaked at No. 23 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking Carpenter’s highest-charting effort on the tally.
