“I was all alone who wanted to release ‘Espresso’. Not so much from my immediate team. But when it came to the ‘powers above,’” Carpenter said at the time. “There was a lot of questioning about whether it made sense.”

In November 2024, both Carpenter and Eilish received Grammy nominations. Eilish is up for seven awards this year, while Carpenter earned six nominations. “Espresso” and “BIRDS OF A FEATHER” will compete again in two categories: Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance.
