On PurposeSabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter – On Purpose (Official Video)

Sabrina Carpenter is an artist who is not only a singer but also highly active as an actress.

If you’ve watched Disney dramas, you’ve probably seen her at least once.

Among her works, one number I especially recommend is On Purpose.

It portrays a positive unrequited love: feeling butterflies for someone, coming down with something like lovesickness, and yet mustering the courage to make a move.
