Sabrina Carpenter, Bed Chem | Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥

In the 74th edition of Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥 (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “Bed Chem” by Sabrina Carpenter.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat 🕛 🔥! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot 🥵 at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. We are talking about that after-dark type $hi†, ya dig? These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 74^th edition of Midnight Heat (2024), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind, “Bed Chem” by Sabrina Carpenter.

“Manifest that you’re oversized.” Is he manifesting being overweight, Sabrina Carpenter, or something else? The pop singer/songwriter is referencing bigness, but specific to the private area 🍆, if you catch my drift (“Out of breath, got me goin’ like…”).  These excerpted lyrics make “Bed Chem”, the sixth track from Short n Sweet, the 2024 breakout album by Carpenter, ‘something else.’ “Bed Chem” was written by Carpenter, Amy Allen, Ian Kirkpatrick, John Ryan, and Julia Michaels.  Kirkpatrick and Ryan produced. In its sub-three-minute runtime, Carpenter packs a punch – a sexual punch!

In the pre-chorus, it seems like Carpenter references her alleged boyfriend, Barry Keoghan (“Who’s the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent”). Even if she isn’t referencing the Academy Award-nominated Irish actor, she is referencing a hottie from a different country (who can blame her?).  The section to beat is the chorus where Carpenter sings, “But I bet we’d have really good bed chem / How you pick me up, pull ‘em down, turn me ‘round /… How you talk so sweet when you’re doin’ bad things.” Holy smokes! The second verse is fun too, with Sabrina asking him, “Where art though? Why not uponeth me? / See it in my mind, let’s fulfill the prophecy.” Ah, the dangers of a wandering mind 😈.  Carpenter’s fantasies seem endless, and pleasure is front and center.  “And I bet the thermostat’s set at six-nine.” Hmm, I wonder why it’s set at that number 😏? “Bed Chem” is a blast, all told.  Carpenter is honest about her desires, keeping things sex positive.  She sings well with her breathy, flirty pipes.  Also, she’s accompanied by a sleek, groovy, sexy instrumental. The chem is chem-ing 🧪!
