"Juno" delves into the territory of procreating, inspired by how Sabrina Carpenter's romantic partner makes her feel. The premise is straightforward: if he "loves her right" she's open to the idea of starting a family with him. In essence, he treats her like a queen, and in return she might just let him become the father of her children. Although Carpenter hasn't publicly confirmed if a specific person inspired "Juno," it's widely speculated that her relationship with Barry Keoghan played a role. The two had a romantic relationship when she was writing songs for the Short n' Sweet album. Who is this "Juno" Carpenter sings about? The name has a couple of layers. 1. There's a nod to the 2007 indie film Juno, which tells the story of a pregnant teenage girl navigating the complexities of impending motherhood. Carpenter is dreaming of finding herself in a similar situation - not necessarily the teenage pregnancy part, but the idea of being pregnant by someone who truly cares about her and shares her vision of a future together. 2. Then there's the more ancient reference: Juno, the Roman goddess who was the protector of families and marriages. In evoking Juno, Carpenter seems to be hinting at more than just the immediate desire for a child. If her partner continues to treat her right, the prospect of marriage is on the cards. Sabrina Carpenter wrote "Juno" with songwriter Amy Allen and producer John Ryan. Carpenter and Allen have developed a strong songwriting partnership, with Allen contributing to every track on the Short n' Sweet album. Ryan, known for his work with One Direction, produced seven out of the 12 tracks on the album.

(Ooh, ah, ooh)

Don't have to tell your hot ass a thing
Oh yeah, you just get it (get it)
Whole package, babe, I like the way you fit
God bless your dad's genetics, mm, uh

You make me wanna make you fall in love
Oh, late at night, I'm thinkin' 'bout you, ah, ah-ah
Wanna try on my fuzzy pink handcuffs?
Oh, I hear you knockin', baby
Come on up

I know you want my touch for life
If you love me right, then who knows?
I might let you make me Juno
You know I just might
Let you lock me down tonight
One of me is cute, but two, though?
Give it to me, baby
You make me wanna make you fall in love (oh)

I showed my friends, then we high-fived (oh-oh)
Sorry if you feel objectified (oh)
Can't help myself, hormones are high
Give me more than just some butterflies

You make me wanna make you fall in love
Oh, late at night, I'm thinkin' 'bout you, ah, ah-ah
Wanna try out some freaky positions?
Have you ever tried this one?

I know you want my touch for life
If you love me right, then who knows?
I might let you make me Juno
You know I just might
Let you lock me down tonight
One of me is cute, but two, though?
Give it to me, baby
You make me wanna make you fall in love

Adore me, hold me, and explore me
Mark your territory
Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one
Adore me, hold me, and explore me
I'm so fuckin' horny
Tell me I'm the only, only, only, only one

Oh, I know you want my touch for life
If you love me right, then who knows?
I might let you make me Juno
You know I just might (might)
Let you lock me down tonight
One of me is cute, but two though?
Give it to me, baby
You make me wanna make you fall in love
