Fans Smell A Rare Collab As Khalid Covers Sabrina Carpenter Chart-Buster 'Please Please Please'

Khalid has sparked speculation about a potential collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter after sharing a romanticized glimpse of his life via Instagram stories. In the final clip that particularly drew attention, Robinson was seen singing 'Please Please Please,' the latest hit single by Carpenter. This subtle yet deliberate nod to her work has led fans to speculate whether the two pop sensations are preparing a musical union.
'Please Please Please,' released in June 2024, is a follow-up to Sabrina Carpenter’s chart-topping hit 'Espresso' and continues her successful run of high-energy pop anthems. Sabrina Carpenter has been riding a wave of momentum, recently ending her Short n Sweet tour, in Europe, on a sweet note. Meanwhile, Khalid has remained relatively low-key in recent months, though his last studio album, 'Sincere', released back in the August of 2024.

Sincere, Robinson’s third studio album, showcased a more intimate and reflective tone, blending atmospheric R&B with confessional songwriting. The project explored themes of vulnerability, nostalgia, and emotional honesty, earning praise from longtime fans. Although the album has been out for several months, his recent Instagram moment, scored by Carpenter’s vocals, has pulled 'Sincere' back into the conversation, with perfect dramatic timing.
With Sincere still echoing in playlists and Sabrina’s hits dominating charts, the timing of Khalid’s serenade feels quite intentional.
Sabrina Carpenter and Khalid may be plotting a pop surprise
Sabrina Carpenter and Khalid may not be moving in sync musically at the moment, but their proximity, both creatively and geographically, is difficult to ignore. While Carpenter is in a full-blown release and tour cycle, Khalid’s quieter phase following Sincere has given him the space for side projects. With both artists based in Los Angeles and known for spontaneous collaborations, a studio link-up remains entirely possible behind the scenes.

Both artists have collaborated across genres in the past and have fan bases that often overlap. Given their complementary strengths and coinciding presence in the industry spotlight, speculation around a potential track feels more like a calculated possibility than wishful thinking.
