A new year means new music from Sabrina Carpenter.
Fans have eagerly been awaiting new music from Sabrina and the day has finally arrived. The singer/actress dropped “Skin” at midnight and it already has the internet buzzing. With lyrics like “maybe ‘blonde’ was the only rhyme” and “but you been tellin your side so I’ll be tellin mine,” many think it’s a direct response to Olivia Rodrigo’s hit song “Driver’s License.” It’s been speculated that “Driver’s License” is about Olivia’s breakup with co-star Joshua Bassett who is rumored to be dating Sabrina. We haven’t seen this kind of dramatic love triangle since Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez and Miley Cyrus or maybe even Aaron Carter, Lindsay Lohan and Hilary Duff.
Whether the song is a response or not, we are loving it and can’t wait to hear what’s next from Sabrina. She’s even making a big change this year switching from Hollywood Records to Island Records, which is the home of artists like Demi Lovato, Elton John, Fall Out Boy & Shawn Mendes.
Take a listen to “Skin” below and check out the lyrics. Do you think it’s a response to “Driver’s License”?

“Skin” Lyrics
Maybe we could have been friends
If I met you in another life
Maybe then we could pretend
There’s no gravity in the words we write
Maybe you didn’t mean it
Maybe “blonde” was the only rhyme
The only rhyme
Want my heart to be breakin’, breakin’, no
I’m happy and you hate it, hate it, oh
And I’m not asking you to let it go
But you been tellin’ your side
So I’ll be tellin’ mine, oh
[Chorus]
You can try
To get under my, under my, under my skin
While hе’s on mine
Yeah, all on my, all on my, all on my skin
I wish you knew that еven you
Can’t get under my skin if I don’t let you in
You’re tellin’ it how you see it
Like truth is whatever you decide
Some people will believe it
And some will read in between the lines
You’re putting me in the spotlight
But I’ve been under it all my life
Said all my life
Want my heart to be breakin’, breakin’, no
I’m happy and you hate it, hate it, oh
And I’m not asking you to let it go
But you been tellin’ your side
So I’ll be tellin’ mine (Mine, oh)
[Chorus]
You can try
To get under my, under my, under my skin
While he’s on mine
Yeah, all on my, all on my, all on my skin
I wish you knew that even you
Can’t get under my skin if I don’t let you in, oh
You can try
To get under my, under my, under my skin
While he’s on mine
Yeah, all on my, all on my, all on my skin
I wish you knew that even you
Can’t get under my skin if I don’t let you in, oh
I just hope that one day
We both can laugh about it
When it’s not in our face
Won’t have to dance around it
Don’t drive yourself insane
It won’t always be this way
[Chorus]
You can try
To get under my, under my, under my skin
While he’s on mine
Yeah, all on my, all on my, all on my skin
I wish you knew that even you
Can’t get under my skin if I don’t let you in
