“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 🧪!
