Sabrina Carpenter hard launches Barry Keoghan in new music video
The singer breaks the fourth wall in her new video for 'Please, Please, Please'

Sickly sweet and tantalisingly toxic, Sabrina Carpenter continues her campaign for 2024’s ultimate summer anthem with the new music video for “Please, Please, Please”, which premiered last night (June 6). The clip depicts the “Espresso” singer in an on-screen romance with IRL boyfriend Barry Keoghan, star of Saltburn and The Banshees of Inisherin.

In what many see as an attempt to break the fourth wall, the song’s music video opens with a prison officer barking Carpenter’s government name to announce that she has been bailed out of jail. Shots soon follow of Keoghan – who is an amateur boxer in real life – in a brawl with the mafia, as Carpenter pleads “I heard that you’re an actor, then act like a standup guy”. Keoghan’s subsequent arrest for these shenanigans in the video is a suspected nod to his very real arrest for public intoxication in 2022. 

“Please, Please, Please” also marks a continuation of Carpenter’s own cinematic universe. The pop singer was previously featured on a killing spree in the music video for “Feathers” before being arrested at the end of viral hit “Espresso” and ending up in jail at the start of this latest release.

Reality and fiction appear to collide, however, as the music video’s closing scene depicts Carpenter handcuffing and tying IRL boyfriend Keoghan to a chair, the song’s innocent pleading suddenly morphing into something more akin to an ultimatum. “If you don’t want to cry to my music, don’t make me hate you prolifically,” she tells the Saltburn star.
