The music video for the "Please Please Please" serves as a sequel for the "Espresso" music video released earlier in 2024. In the music video for "Espresso", Carpenter gets arrested at the end. "I ended the last video getting arrested, so naturally I thought it would be satisfying to start the 'Please Please Please' video in jail", said the singer.[9] "I liked the idea of falling in love with a convict and being shocked and embarrassed every time he commits crimes. I was sooo lucky to get Barry Keoghan in the video 'cause he is just magic on screen". said the singer after the music video was released.[9] The Irish actor is rumoured to be Carpenter's off-screen boyfriend after they started being seen together in December 2023 and throughout 2024.[10] "The concept was pretty collaborative. I had a brief from Sabrina's team — they wanted it to pick up from where 'Espresso' left off and they wanted it to be about this person that Sabrina's character keeps falling for, that has this chaotic behaviour. So I just elaborated on that and started to think a bit more about specifically what happens. I liked this idea of there being a role reversal and an exchange of power towards the end. And things that were recurring, like her picking him up in the same place, same location, different day, different time", said the director, Bardia Zeinali, to GQ.[11] "Pam and Tommy. Madonna and Dennis Rodman. Tarantino was a big reference point. Natural Born Killers (1994). Bonnie and Clyde, obviously. Even Thelma & Louise (1991). We were really looking at film references more than anything else and pop culture references in terms of what we wanted the spirit of this moment to be. Even J Lo and Ben Affleck not to reference, but to capture that spirit. It's similar in the sense that they're this really exciting young couple, both having big moments in their respective careers, coming together and making a piece of art. But this is very much not real life — it's a story", said the director.
