Dolly Parton Had THIS One Rule for Sabrina Carpenter Before Please, Please, Please Remix Collab: ‘I Don’t Talk About…’

Dolly Parton is widely recognized for various aspects, such as her radiant character and timeless tunes. Notably, she maintains a strong position regarding her renowned music, which Sabrina Carpenter needed to adjust to when teaming up with her for their collaboration.

Prior to agreeing to remix Carpenter’s famous single “Please, Please, Please,” Parton made it known that she didn’t use profanity in her work. Even as she praised Carpenter’s talent, the 79-year-old country music icon firmly expressed her desire for the song to retain its innocent character.

In an interview with Knox News on March 18, Parton explained, “I informed Carpenter, ‘You know, I never swear. I never mock Jesus. I never speak disrespectfully about God, and I try to avoid using inappropriate language on camera—but I have a reputation for doing so if I get really angry.’

In response, the artist behind the Espresso reworded a strong term in the chorus for a less harsh substitute, ensuring the remix adhered to Parton’s standards. Instead of “motherfer,” she opted for “I implore you, don’t make me look bad like the others.

Back in February 14th, I couldn’t contain my excitement when the remixed track dropped as an addition to Dolly Parton and John Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet Deluxe Edition! The way they melded Carpenter’s pop flair with Parton’s country charm left me absolutely spellbound.

The two performers showcased their fun camaraderie by posting exclusive backstage clips from the set on social media. Carpenter unveiled their joint project on Instagram with a caption that read, “Indeed, it says ‘featuring Miss Dolly Parton’… she wouldn’t approve of profanity, but oh my goodness!!!

The pair collaborated on a playful, vintage-styled music video where they rode in a pickup truck, accompanied by a man handcuffed in the back – this was a somewhat obvious nod to Carpenter’s former partner. On Instagram, Carpenter gushed about the joy of working alongside one of her cherished childhood idols, calling it an incredible honor.

The music video for Dolly Parton and Sabrina Carpenter’s “Please, Please, Please” has been watched more than 11 million times on YouTube and peaked at the top of Billboard’s Country Music Charts when it first came out.
