Sabrina Carpenter's "Bed Chem" Lyrics, Explained
— Steve Jennings/FilmMagic/Getty ImagesSabrina Carpenter’s romance is apparently so good that she invented a new word. In “Bed Chem,” from her new album, Short n’ Sweet, the singer defines the term as the sexual chemistry between two lovers, and fans are already connecting the dots to her rumored beau. Carpenter begins the song by recalling a meet-cute with an alluring man, recalling that she was in a “sheer dress,” a favorite of the hers, and, “Who’s the cute boy with the white jacket and the thick accent?” They only talked for a second, but then he got her number from mutual friends, which accounts for many celeb encounters. Many fans think she’s referring to her rumored on-and-off boyfriend, Barry Keoghan. The Irish actor has the accent and wore a white jacket at Givenchy’s Spring-Summer 2024 show in September 2023, where they reportedly met. He also sports a distinctive white jacket in his 2023 film Saltburn, which Carpenter playfully acknowledged at Coachella in an outro for “Nonsense.” “He’s drinkin’ my bath water like it’s red wine,” she sang, referencing the infamous Saltburn scene. — Kevin Mazur/MG24/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty ImagesFor the rest of the song, Carpenter fantasizes about the “bed chem” she’d probably have with her crush, with no shortage of flirty innuendos and suggestive references. “And I bet we’d both arrive at the same time,” she sings on the bridge. “And I bet the thermostat’s set at six-nine, and I bet it’s even better than in my head.”Sabrina Carpenter’s “Bed Chem” LyricsRead the full lyrics to Carpenter’s R&B-inflected slow jam below.
