LYRICS:
I said I wanted thin mints
And you said you knew a guy
You showed up with a boombox
And stars in your eyes
Who knew cuddling on trampolines
Could be so reckless
We bonded over black eyed peas
And and complicated exes
Fell so deeply into it
It was all so innocent
Now I’m a homewrecker
I’m a slut
I got death threats
Filling up semi trucks
Tell me who I am
Guess I don’t have a choice
All because I liked -
I’m the hot topic on your tongue
I’m a rebound gettin’ ‘round
Stealin’ from the young
Tell me who I am
Guess I don’t have a choice
All I because I liked a boy
I’m not catastrophizing
Everything’s derailing
Was only tryna hold you close
While your heart was failing
It’s not internet illusion
Just two kids going through it
You said I'm too late to be your first love
But I’ll always be your favorite
Now I’m a homewrecker
I’m a slut
I got death threats
Filling up semi trucks
Tell me who I am
Guess I don’t have a choice
All because Ii liked -
I’m the hot topic on your tongue
I’m a rebound gettin’ ‘round
Stealin’ from the young
Tell me who I am
Guess I don’t have a choice
All I because I liked a boy
Fell so deeply into it
It was all so innocent
Dating boys with exes
NoIi wouldn’t recommend it
I’m a homewrecker
I’m a slut
I got death threats
Filling up semi trucks
Tell me who I am
Guess I don’t have a choice
All because I liked a boy
And all of this for what
When everything went down
We’d already broken up
Please tell me who I am
Guess I don’t have a choice
All because i liked a boy
A boy
A boy
All because I liked a boy

the way she wrote this song in a way that didnt tear down another girl or even her ex, its literally just a song full of facts. forever a sabrina stan <3
-
It’s so heartbreaking how people tear down one woman to raise another up. The girl hate is unfortunately still prevalent in our society. So glad to see Sabrina bouncing back from this, and with such a powerful song and high quality video to support i. she’s one of the most underrated singers out there today.
-
"YOU SAID: I'm "too late" to be your first love...but I'll always be your favorite." 😭this line hits everytime
-
This is so real and pure. Sabrina has been through so much. All the woman is doing is trying to make music and she’s being attacked. We love you Sabrina.
-
This should be a huge wake up call to everyone in stan culture. This was 2 people who are just like us that dated and went through a breakup and because someone else wrote a breakup song everyone decided that Sabrina was some horrible person. Remember that celebrities are just normal people who have feelings too. Death threats are never okay no matter how much you like a singer, and at the end of the day it’s not your life or your business.
-
Love that she has spoken up for herself. Also love the metaphor in this video, yes, the internet and what we call "stan culture" is just a huge entire circus.
-
She's so real for the way she sings "A Boy!!!" At the end of the song. I can feel the way she describes it, saying that it was useless and exaggerated over loving a boy, that soon left her.
-
I love how she single handedly made this song, had amazing choreography, didn’t call out or hate on the people in the message, and promoted Samsung at once. She’s actually amazing😭
-
Honestly she speaks nothing but the truth and the world was against her for that time it was wild and I couldn’t imagine
-
sabrina carpenter is not trying to bring up old drama. this album is about her life + how the events of the last two years have affected her. she’s not trying to tear down your fav, any negativity in the album is directed towards YOU. you’re the one
-
The symbolism of the whole video being in a circus is crazy!! The detail
-
let me just say. i'm not really a Sabrina fan, i'm mainly a swiftie, but knowing what Taylor swift and other women in the public eye go through in terms of slut shaming is horrible, and so i have to applaud this woman for making this song. it truly is a masterpiece. Update: I'm now a carpenter 😂
-
Man this song really shows how song writing can be such an outlet. It gives a lot of insight into how dumb that whole ordeal was. I hope she gets the time she deserves with this album.
-
love the song but can we talk about how’s she’s ABSOLUTELY SLAYING these outfits
-
I met Sabrina on the Eras Tour in Brazil and I was completely amazed by her show. Thank you, Taylor, for introducing us to this incredibly talented girl!
-
They tried to disguise her as evil when she is another victim in history, and with tremendous beauty, now I understand why they wanted to turn off her shine, she is beautiful 🩷👑
-
“because when everything went down we’d already broken up” this poor girl went thru hell for no reason.
-
This entire situation was so deeply sensationalized by "fans" and the media that you can see the trauma in this woman's eyes. The villains in this situation were the people that made her write this chorus, but the way she's told her story in a way that for a second somewhere inside this song, I could almost comprehend the pain of something most of us here will never truly understand (and also the rest of this album negl) leaves me no choice but to join the fandom and look up to her.
-
You know I really think Olivia should have spoken up when it came to her knowledge that Sabrina was getting so much hate. Rumours can ruin and kill
-
i like how she portrayed the message in the music video. she showed how circus animals we’re used as entertainment animals and people played with them kind of like how people used sabrina’s situation as entertainment and hated her for no reason…idk how to word it
