does self-obsession better than Sabrina Carpenter. And in the emotionally deficit economy that we live in, the need of the hour is to abandon the pursuit of all external validation from people, places and things, and re-pivot back to ourselves. In that sense, Sabrina has achieved Nirvana. This playlist is a crash course to get you there with her.
Song: Eyes Wide Open
I keep my eyes wide open/Bless this ground unbroken/I'm about to make my way/Heaven help me keep my faith/And my eyes wide open...For: The person who knows they always put everyone else first, but can feel that era of their ending.
Song: On My Way
So then when I'm finished/I'm all 'bout my business and ready to save the world/I'm taking my misery/Make it my b*tch, can't be everyone's favorite girl...For: Those that finally take the step away from everything and everyone they'd been putting before themselves.
Song: Pushing 20
I'm pushing 20 got no time for others/I'm pushing 20 got no time for others/Who ain't on the same wave, yeah, on the same page/Tryna tell me what to be, yeah, tell me what to think...For: A people-pleaser in recovery - it's NOT easy.

Song: Please Please Please
If you wanna go and be stupid, don't do it in front of me/If you don't wanna cry to my music, don't make me hate you prolifically/Please, please, please (please)...For: If you find yourself relapsing back into old patterns - making excuses for the underserving lot after all, comes super easy.
Song: Good Graces
Don't mistake my nice for naive/I don't waste a second, I know lots of guys/You do something suspect, this c/ute a*s bye-bye......Boy, it's not that complicatedYou should stay in my good graces/Or I'll switch it up like that, so fast/'Cause no one's more amazing at turning loving into hatred...For: The eureka moment when you realise your attention needs to be earned - continuously and forever because yes it is that precious.
Song: Feather
You want me? I'm done/You miss me? No, duh/Where I'm at, I'm up, where I'm at/You want me? I'm done (I'm done)/You miss me? No, duh (no, duh)/Where I'm at, I'm up (I'm up), where I'm at...For: If you're new to feeling peace that had been usurped by energy vampires, this will be your anthem for the foreseeable future.
Song: Busy Woman
And if you don't need (if you don't need) my love (my love)/Well, I didn't want your little b**ch-ass anyway/'Cause I'm a busy woman (oh, hey)/I wouldn't let you come into my calendar any night...For: Those pulling an uno-reverse on people treating them like options.
Song: Looking At Me
Don't just stand there staring, honey/Try to move your feet/If you think they lookin' at you/They lookin' at me...For: When you realise you just need to decide that you're the centre of the room - the wrong people will find it annoying but the right people will fall in line.
Song: Taste
Every time you close your eyes/And feel his lips, you're feelin' mine/And every time you breathe his air/Just know I was already there...For: External validation is a non-concept for this lot, though they keep getting it in abundance.
Song: Espresso
I can't relate to desperation/My give-a-fu*ks are on vacation...
For: If your insides feel like this song, you've reached peak hot girl energy. Case closed.
