Before lending her legendary vocals to the remix of Please, Please, Please, Dolly Parton had one key condition: no profanity.
In a March 18 interview with Knox News, the 79-year-old country music icon revealed that while she admired Sabrina Carpenter’s talent, she made it clear she doesn’t use certain language in her work. “I told her, ‘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,’” Parton said.
Carpenter, 25, honored Parton’s request by altering the original lyric “motherf---er” in the chorus to, “I beg you, don’t embarrass me like the others.” The remix, featuring Parton’s signature country twang, debuted on February 14 as part of Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet deluxe album.
To celebrate the collaboration, Carpenter took to Instagram, sharing behind-the-scenes footage from the music video shoot. “Dolly and me singing in a pickup truck! I’m so honored to have one of my biggest idols on a song that means so much to me. Love you forever @dollyparton,” she wrote.
Parton also posted a TikTok video from the set, playfully captioned, “Two blondes are one thing, a collab with @Sabrina Carpenter is another.” The footage captured their lighthearted camaraderie as they filmed the vintage-inspired video, which features a subtle reference to Carpenter’s ex, actor Barry Keoghan. In the clip, Carpenter and Parton are seen laughing and chatting as they sit together in a blue pickup truck, a setting that aligns with the song’s country-infused aesthetic.
As for who she’d like to work with next, Parton keeps it simple: she’s open to collaborating with “whoever calls me that I like.” Her easygoing approach to music remains unchanged—“Yeah, I’ll do that!”
