Sabrina Carpenter - tAsTe
[Verse 1]
Oh, I leave quite an impression
Five feet to be exact
You're wonderin' why half his clothes went missin'
My body's where they're at
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm gone, but you're still layin'
Next to me, one degree of separation
[Chorus]
I heard you're back together and if that's true
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissin' you
If you want forever, I bet you do
Just know you'll taste me too
[Post-Chorus]
Uh-huh
[Verse 2]
He pins you down on the carpet
Makes paintings with his tongue (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
Hе's funny, now all his jokes hit different
Guеss who he learned that from?
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I'm gone, but you're still layin'
Next to me, one degree of separation

I heard you're back together and if that's true
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissin' you
If you want forever, I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know you'll taste me too
[Post-Chorus]
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
[Bridge]
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
You can have him if you like
I've been there, done that once or twice
And singin' 'bout it don't mean I care
Yeah, I know I've been known to share
[Chorus]
Well, I heard you're back together and if that's true
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissin' you
If you want forever, I bet you do (I bet you do)
Just know you'll taste me too
[Post-Chorus]
Taste me too, ow (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissin' you
You, no, yeah, ah-ah (La-la-la-la-la-la-la)
You'll just have to taste me when he's kissin' you
“Taste” is the first track off of Sabrina Carpenter’s sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet, and was released as the highly anticipated third single with a music video featuring female actress Jenna Ortega on August 23, 2024, following hits “Espresso” & “Please Please Please”. Disco-infused & irresistibly danceable to, “Taste” serves as the album’s opener, layering risqué innuendos with revenge and betrayal, stating that even if he’s cheating, she’ll allow it as he’s always got the taste of her on his lips. The music video, much like the track, cheekily infers many dark satirical movies, such as ’Ginger Snaps‘, ’The Addams Family’, & primarily ’Death Becomes Her’, with Ortega playing Madeline, who’s played by Meryl Streep, & Carpenter playing Helen, who’s played by Goldie Hawn. “So, ‘Taste’ is one of my favorite songs off the album and it says a lot about me and a lot about other people. I think it’s sort of poking fun of myself a little bit for my mistakes and also poking fun at the, kind of like, facepalm that is life and relationship and the, sort of, situations that it puts you in, um, and it’s just making lighthearted fun at the whole concept of, you know, people that you’ve been with moving on to other people, and, you know, I think it’s a very human thing but it’s certainly fun.“ — via Kiss 108
