“Fast Times” has arrived!
Sabrina Carpenter’s sultry new single was released on Friday, alongside a music video that features the actress and singer dodging bad guys in pursuit of a mysterious briefcase.
Two different Carpenters appear on screen: one with dark brown hair wearing all black, and a blonde Carpenter, 22, clad in more colorful clothes.

“Fast times and fast nights/Closed eyes and closed blinds, we couldn’t help it,” she sings on the track. “Our thighs on bedsides/Give me a second to forget I ever really meant it.”
Mid-dance routine, a red alarm begins to blare, and the star seeks cover in an air duct, only to be discovered and dragged away.
After breaking free of a glass box (eerily reminiscent of Joe Goldberg’s torture chamber on Netflix’sYou), she makes it through a series of lasers to find the briefcase waiting for her.
Carpenter opens the briefcase with an ambiguous smile, leaving the viewer to wonder what’s inside, à laPulp Fiction.

“Fast Times” will appear on the star’s forthcoming fifth studio album, which will be her first since signing with Island Records. The record follows 2019’sSingular Act II, and Carpenter has already released singles “Skin” and “Skinny Dipping” over the last year.
The formerGirl Meets Worldstar said in January that she’shidden the album’s name"somewhere in work that I’ve put out over the last year" as an Easter egg of sorts for fans to uncover.
“I feel like it’s something a few artists do, and I feel like I just really have had an amazing relationship with my fans over the years, and they love being detectives and I like playing into it,” she toldThe Tonight Showhost Jimmy Fallon. “Yeah, and then you can find the name of my album and you can announce it. ‘Cause it’s out there!”
Carpentertold PEOPLE in Decemberthat her new album “reflects a side of me that is yet to be heard.”
“It feels almost unreal to talk about at this point, because you really grow into a new version of yourself in the process of making a body of work that’s so personal and something that you’ve really taken time with,” she said. “I’m just so excited.”
