For her latest album, Sabrina Carpenter has reunited with her close friends and former collaborators from "Emails I Can't Send," including John Ryan, Julian Bunetta, Julia Michaels, Amy Allen, and Steph Jones.

She’s also joined forces with acclaimed producer Jack Antonoff, who is recognized for his work with Taylor Swift and Lana Del Rey, and Ian Kirkpatrick, who is well-known for his collaborations with Dua Lipa and Selena Gomez.

"[Short n' Sweet] is very different from [her] last album," she said, per Just Jared. "Where I questioned it until the day before it came out, like, ‘Is it done?’ and, ‘Could I have changed it?’ and ‘Could I have written another song?’"

"And to be fair, I do have a hard time with the fact that I do feel like life doesn’t stop," she added. "So it’s really hard to tell when a chapter of your life should be book-ended.”

Carpenter later confessed that her reasoning "doesn’t really make sense, other than the fact that you just have a feeling."

"I know it sounds very clichĂ©, but you just know," she said. "And there was a moment where I just knew. And it wasn’t even like, ‘Oh, and I wrote the 12th song.' It was all of these things that I had been trying to put into words for a brief chapter in my life that I was like, ‘You know what? I’m good for the next week and then I’m going to write another album.’ It’s like I was just ready to close it."

Why Did She Name The Album 'Short n' Sweet'?

Ahead of its release, the former Disney Channel star explained that she called the album "Short n Sweet" not because she’s "vertically challenged" but because she really "thought about some of these relationships and how some of them were the shortest I’ve ever had and they affected me the most."

"I think about the way that I respond to situations, and sometimes it is very nice and sometimes it’s not very nice," the artist continued. "And again, the thing about albums, projects, writing songs, it’s all moments. So harder for other people to understand that when they’re listening to something that’s going to take them through maybe a lot of years, hopefully a lot of years, is that I’m not the same person that I was when I wrote that."

"I’ve always yearned to care enough about a person or a situation or a relationship in my life that it provokes that much feeling in me because I think that’s why we’re here, I think, you know?” she concluded.
