Sabrina Carpenter's "Coincidence" Lyrics, Explained
— NBC/NBCUniversal/Getty ImagesIn the song “Coincidence,” from Sabrina Carpenter’s new album, the singer returns to a theme that’s become a through line of sorts on the new record: love triangles. In this particular song, she gets a little country, which proves the perfect genre to pour her heart out. In the first verse, she explains that she’s got a relatively new man in her life, but his ex is living rent-free in his mind, causing an unexpected love triangle. “Now her name comes up once, then it comes up twice, and without her even bein’ here, she’s back in your life,” she sings, over guitars, banjos, and chants.In verse two, the ex-girlfriend gets involved directly, making moves on Carpenter’s lover before they get a chance to grow as a couple. “Now shе’s sendin’ you some pictures wеarin’ less and less, tryna turn the past into the present tense,” she sings. By the bridge, Carpenter’s officially been left in the dust, and rolls her eyes at the man attempting to call their dalliances a mere “coincidence.” “Your car drove itself from L.A. to her thighs,” she sings. “Palm Springs looks nice, but who’s by your side?” — Gilbert Flores/Variety/Getty ImagesLove triangles pop up throughout Short n’ Sweet, like in Carpenter’s new single “Taste,” which functions as a message to her ex-boyfriend’s new girl. However, as proven in the song’s music video, co-starring Jenna Ortega, Carpenter comes to the same conclusion on both songs: This man isn’t worth it.
