Prior to collaborating with Sabrina Carpenter, Dolly Parton informed the pop star that she (Parton) does not mock God or swear. Parton appears on a new version of Carpenter’s hit single, “Please Please Please,” released Feb. 13.
“Of course, she can talk a little bad now and then,” Parton said in an interview with the Knoxville News Sentinel. “I told her, I said, now, I don’t cuss. I don’t make fun of Jesus. I don’t talk bad about God, and I don’t say dirty words, on camera, but known to if I get mad enough.”

Sabrina Carpenter is a pop star who gained prominence through the Disney Channel’s show, “Girl Meets World,” which ran from 2014 to 2017. She released her debut single in 2014 and worked in the industry for years as a singer and actor before achieving stardom as one of the most famous musical stars in the world.
Carpenter opened for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, and Carpenter’s sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” debuted in the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Hot 200 chart. Three singles from the album, “Espresso,” “Taste,” and “Please Please Please,” made the Hot 100 chart, with “Please Please Please” making the No. 1 spot. Carpenter set a record for having three songs at the same time in the Hot 100 for at least eight weeks.
Carpenter’s original music video for “Please Please Please” shows her picking up her romantic interest (played by her then-boyfriend, Irish actor Barry Keoghan) from jail multiple times. The singer asks him to show that he’s a “a stand-up guy” as he proceeds to commit various crimes. The song contains explicit language, with the chorus saying:
Heartbreak is one thing
My ego’s another
I beg you, don’t embarrass me, mother******, ah-oh
Please, please, please
