Don’t Smile

Esta canción "Don’t Smile" del artista "Sabrina Carpenter" se estrenó el 2024-08-23, tiene una duración de 206.295 segundos y pertenece a los géneros musicales: pop. “Don’t Smile”, the last track on Short n\' Sweet, is about the aftermath of a breakup, where the singer expresses a mix of bitterness and longing.\n\nThe song takes the saying/quote “Don’t cry because it’s over, smile because it happened” and twists it; making it “Don’t smile because it happened, baby, cry because it’s over”.\n\nThe repeated phrase reflects Carpenter’s desire for her ex partner to feel sorrow and remorse rather than happiness about their past relationship. The lyrics reveal that she is hurt and struggling to move on, wishing that her ex would feel the same pain and regret that she does. She wants her ex to miss her and think about her when with someone new.\n\nInterestingly, the first track on the album, “Taste”, is about the lingering presence and impact the singer has on her ex, even after they’ve moved on to someone new. The lyrics suggest that although the relationship is over, the ex still carries memories, habits, and even physical traces of the singer.\n\nThis makes for a cycle as Carpenter ends the album with wanting her ex partner to feel remorse and she starts the album with her ex feeling that remorse.
