Sabrina Carpenter - "Fast Times"

[SabrinaFan]

On Tuesday night's episode of The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Sabrina announced that her next single will be titled "Fast Times." No release date has been made public yet, but Sabrina has now posted a 15-second preview of the song on TikTok, which can be heard here:

I'm really liking this; it's way better than anything she put out last year.

Loved her last two songs, but it is nice to see her put out another fast-paced song, finally.

The track will be released on Friday, February 18.

Apparently, this will be Sabrina's first song marked "explicit" due to her use of the word "f**k" in the song.

She's definitely coming

[SHOOTER]

Bop! 🔥

Its good, but it would've been top notch if the instrumental got punchier throughout the song and the chorus had a key change after the bridge

[childeroland]

This is definitely the kind of thing she should do more often. Very nice.

I really like this! I hope she goes in this direction with the rest of her upcoming album this year. My only complaint is that it doesn't feel like there's a good transition with the instrumental switch-up between the chorus and the verses, but that's a minor complaint. This is definitely one of my faves from her!

Queen, I really like it. The jazzy instrumental kinda reminded me of Norah Jones's "Flipside"

It got one add today! (on Sirius XM, but still, an add is an add lol)

[pancakes]

Her first memorable song. Probably because it is basically a Julia Michaels song.

This is starting to pick up on Pop! Getting plays from three stations.

When I first heard this I wasn’t that sure about it but I’m a fan of Sabrina’s so I added it.
Wow it really grew on me a lot.
It’s a current favorite and I can tell it will probably stick with me for awhile.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

weeell, this is a bop!

This should’ve been bigger than “Skin”, I have no use for that song and this is grüvy

Considering The Walters's 2014 song is currently in the top half of the chart, it is certainly NOT too late to release this boP to pop radio, Island Records 😉

Tbh, I don't understand Island Records' promotion of Sabrina in general. I didn't think Hollywood Records handled promoting her songs well either, but Island seems even worse. Besides "Skin," they haven't even tried pushing any of the singles Sabrina has released. I can maybe understand with 'Skinny Dipping" since you could argue that one isn't necessarily quite as radio friendly, but "Fast Times" is perfect for pop radio. Honestly, I could see it peaking higher than "Almost Love" if promoted correctly.

Yeah, Island Records is kinda a mess tbh. 

not surprised that their CEO quit a couple months ago lol - the disarray is real.

Keep in mind that Demi's Tell Me You Love Me era was Hollywood Records AND Island, while The Art of Starting Over was just Island.

In my opinion, Hollywood Records is like the "least major" major label, so if you're worse than them ... it's a yikes lol.

And perhaps an even better example is how Daya was and is more successful literally as an Independent artist than she was on major label Interscope (the fact that they pulled the bop Insomnia from its pop radio adds date release, YIKES. Sabrina can relate to that label sabotage). These major labels are disappointments af.
