Holla (Unreleased)

Sabrina Carpenter's unreleased track 'Holla' delves into the complexities of a relationship where one partner is not quite ready for the commitment and maturity that the other desires. The song opens with a vivid depiction of the partner's immaturity, symbolized by their early bedtime and lack of engagement in the relationship. Carpenter uses the metaphor of aging wine to suggest that with time, this person might develop the qualities she needs in a partner.

The chorus emphasizes the frustration and disappointment Carpenter feels as her partner fails to meet her emotional needs. The repeated lines 'You never call when you say so' and 'You never ask how my day goes' highlight the lack of communication and consideration. The phrase 'now's not the right time for the two of us' underscores the idea that timing and personal growth are crucial for a successful relationship. Carpenter's use of 'holla' as a call to action for when her partner is 'good and ready' adds a playful yet poignant touch to the song.

In the second verse, Carpenter continues to critique her partner's youthful arrogance, comparing their attitude to someone who thinks the world revolves around them. The reference to 'The Starry Night' by Vincent van Gogh suggests that, like the famous painting, her partner might be more appreciated and understood with age. The song's bridge and final chorus reiterate the theme of waiting for maturity, with Carpenter expressing hope that someday, down the road, her partner will be ready to meet her needs. Until then, she remains open to reconnecting when the time is right, encapsulated in the repeated invitation to 'holla' at her when they are ready.
