Per Grammy-winning pop singer/songwriter, Sabrina Carpenter: “If you were a wise man, baby, you would drop / Every other ho, ho, ho and put me on top.” Ah, so much to unpack on those two excerpted lyrics from “buy me presents”. The arrival of “Buy Me Presents” preceded Carpenter’s breakthrough, Short N Sweet.  It is the second track from her 2023 holiday EP, fruitcake.  Early on, Carpenter is trying to entice this fella.  The clever wordplay on ho, and the double entendre of put me on top should be enough to win him over!

Carpenter penned this naughty little gem with Steph Jones and producer John Ryan.  She sings well, bringing ample playfulness to the track.  She also brings a parental advisory explicit lyrics tag thanks to the pre-chorus: “Fuck the jet, send the sleigh / It’s a packed holiday, and I got options, babe (Ah).” The f-bomb’ll secure that tag every time! The second verse is as colorful, if not more so, than the first.  Santa Claus is objectified, with his older age and the fact that he’s “Got a bit of a dad bod.” It’s giving silver fox! Most cheeky, this damn hottie “Knows when I’m sleepin’ / And he knows when I’m not.” The section of the song to beat should come as no surprise: the chorus!

“If you don’t wanna buy me presents

Drink me like a warm glass of milk (Oh)

If you’re not gonna (You’re not gonna) race here from the

North Pole to Beverly Hills

Just to keep my stockin’ filled (So filled)

Well, I know somebody who will.”

Speechless 😶. Hopefully, we don’t get put on the naughty list for vibing out to “Buy Me Presents” and crushing on Old Saint Nick 🎅 🤭!
