I think 'Please Please Please' sounds like 'I Just Called To Say I Love You'.

Does anyone else agree?

😂 omg yeah, I wonder if it’s a coincidence or deliberate. Dave Gilmour will be so happy (actually he might be…)

Me too!

I'm not up to date with current music at all but I have heard this and it is very catchy....although I can't stand that little clap that she does, and have seen posts on social media describing it as "iconic" Anybody can clap, it really isn't iconic.

I don't hear the similarity to Stevie Wonder though.

Please Please Please is listenable whereas I just called to say I love you is one of the worst songs ever written, inane dross. And I say that as someone who loves Stevie Wonder.

Yes I thought I’d be the only one thinking it was like another brick in the wall!
The lyrics are don’t prove I’m right. I love this song. I love the lyrics.

I can't hear any similarity. I do hate the song though, and think SC is overrated.

🤣 true! My DD8 is obsessed with her! Sabrina Carpenter gets mentioned a million times a day.

I’m like, what about The Carpenters, would you like me to stick ticket to ride on?!

Agree with those who say it sounds like Pink Floyd's 'Another Brick in The Wall'. Same riff. To the point that she must be paying them royalties, surely?

'Don't prove I'm right' makes no sense, as she's saying he's changed and is good now.

'Don't prove them right' = they all think he's a screw up, so don't act that way and prove them right!

I don't know why this annoys me so much 😆

It just sets me off singing “Please Please Please…” by The Smiths. It’s not my favourite (and I agree that it should be “don’t prove them right”), but I like the line about the ceiling fan, it makes me laugh.

It really doesn't, I just listened to it and it's just shit pop, I recognise it from Tesco. A swear word doesn't make it cool or edgy.

I think it has Megan Trainor vibes

Just listened to them both because I thought no way but I think they have the same or similar tempo, I can hear what you mean. The songs don’t sound similar but tempo/beats do

Same! In the interests of balance I have listened to the song on YouTube and disagree OP. It sounds nothing like I just Called, or Brick in the Wall.

I like the video for Barry Keoghan 🥵

The radio version I've heard has 'little sucker' instead. It does not sound right.

I’m on one of her mailing lists, I got two emails yesterday titled “7 days whores”. A “new deluxe” version of her album is out in a week apparently.

It’s only the intro music that vaguely reminds me of brick in the wall or is it staying alive 🤣

The bit of music after the word education in brick in the wall and the little bit of music just before she starts singing has the same rhythm

Oh yeah to be fair prove ‘em right works better but she also blatantly knows he’s a cock and is totally expecting him to show her up

I just came to this realization today and totally agree. I don’t know what this site is, and I’m not a parent. I’m a 37 year old musician from the United States. You have a good ear.

Thank you! I feel vindicated.

Ok so 00.22-00.42 on here

and 01.00-00.17 on here.

Honestly!

It does.

I loved Espresso, but this is a very weak song and I don't think it's good at all.

Ha I really like it and I think it's a stronger song overall than I Just Called which I'll be honest was not HRH Stevie at his best.
