Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Tour has been going strong since September 2024, and each night fans look forward to a surprise during “Juno.” For those unfamiliar with the track, the lyrics are about thinking your partner is so hot you want them to get you pregnant (like the titular character in 2007’s Juno). “I know you want my touch for life / If you love me right, then who knows?” Carpenter sings on the chorus. “I might let you make me Juno / You know I just might / Let you lock me down tonight / One of me is cute, but two though?”
The second pre-chorus, however, is where the positions come in during the live show, specifically following the lines, “Wanna try out some freaky positions? / Have you ever tried this one?” After singing those lyrics, Carpenter marches to a heart-shaped platform at the end of her runway stage and mimes a sex position for the audience. While she’s cycled through plenty of standard fare — missionary and reverse cowgirl, for example — she’s also added in a few more unusual choices, some of which reference the city she’s in that night.
While Carpenter wrote “Juno” with two other collaborators, her cowriter Amy Allen confirmed to Us Weekly that the Juno movie reference was entirely Carpenter’s idea. “I’m so grateful to have her as a collaborator for moments like that, because I think being a pop songwriter, like, five years ago, if somebody had come in with that concept, that would’ve been like, ‘I’m not sure people will get that,’” Allen exclusively told Us in December 2024. “But because she’s so authentic and her artistry is so intact and she knows who she is, the second she started talking about her idea for that, I was like, ‘Oh, we’re doing this, it’s gonna be great and it’s gonna be witty and it’s gonna be heartfelt.’ She’s such a fearless leader with ideas like that.”
