"Juno" is a song by American singer Sabrina Carpenter from her sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet (2024). Carpenter wrote it with songwriter Amy Allen and its producer, John Ryan. The song became available as the album's 10th track on August 23, 2024, when it was released by Island Records.

Background

[edit]

In January 2021, Sabrina Carpenter signed a recording contract with Island Records.[1][2] She announced that she was working on her sixth studio album in March 2024, exploring new genres and expecting that it would herald a new chapter in her life.[3][4] In anticipation of her performance at Coachella, Carpenter announced that a single called "Espresso" would be released on April 11, 2024.[5] The song was a surprise success, becoming her first number one single on the Billboard Global 200 chart and her first song to enter the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.[6][7] She followed this with "Please Please Please" (2024), which reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[8]

Preceding an official announcement, billboards bearing tweets about Carpenter's height began appearing throughout New York City.[9] On June 3, 2024, she announced that the album, titled Short n' Sweet, would be released by Island Records on August 23, 2024, and revealed its cover artwork.[10] The tracklist was revealed on July 9, 2024.[11] Carpenter wrote the song "Juno" with songwriter Amy Allen and its producer, John Ryan.[12] The song became available for digital download on the album, which was released on August 23, 3034.[13]

Composition

[edit]

"Juno" is three minutes and 43 seconds long.[13] It was recorded at Santa Ynez House, the Playpen in Calabasas, California. Ryan produced and programmed the song, and he engineered it with Jeff Gunnell. Ryan plays drums, guitar, keyboards, percussion, and bass. Nathan Dantzler mastered it with assistance from Harrison Tate, and Manny Marroquin mixed it at Larrabee Sound Studios in Los Angeles with assistance from Zach Pereyra, Anthony Vilchis, and Trey Station.[12]

Billboard's Jason Lipshutz described the song as an "'80s-indebted workout", on which Carpenter employs double entendres like rhyming "high-fived" with "objectified", whose bridge builds towards a single declaration: "You make me wanna make you fall in love."[14] Jake Viswanath of Bustle believed it has "a Sheryl Crow-esque pop-rock groove straight from the early 2000s".[15]

The lyrics of "Juno" reference the 2007 film Juno. They depict Carpenter experiencing such an intense attraction to a man that she desires to get pregnant with his child. The film is directly referenced in the titular lines in the song's chorus, where Carpenter uses the term "make me Juno" to mean get her pregnant: "If you love me right, then who knows? / I might let you make me Juno." She expresses a desire to let him "lock me down", and compliments herself, stating that "One of me is cute, but two, though?". Based on her attraction to the man, she also compliments the genetics he was given by his father.[15][16][17]

Critical reception

[edit]

Lipshutz ranked "Juno" first among the twelve album tracks; he believed the memorable lyrics seem tailor-made for TikTok trends and social media quotes, but it is Carpenter's skillful use of double entendres that truly captivates, showcasing Carpenter's pop expertise delivered with apparent ease.[14] Rolling Stone authors believed it contained "a charming pop culture reference for the ages" and showcased that Carpenter's songwriting should not be underestimated.[17] Capital's Sam Prance thought it is "horny and romantic and it sounds like a pop classic in the making".[16]
