Creativity Quote by Sabrina Carpenter

"I don't know if I will ever get sick of performing a song called 'Feels Like Loneliness' from Evolution. It's inspired by one of my favorite songs, 'Fever' by Peggy Lee. It's got a jazzy feel to it and I'm always able to put on a bit of character when I sing it, which is fun"

About this Quote

There is a quiet flex tucked into Carpenter's casualness: she frames "Feels Like Loneliness" not as a dour confessional but as a performance she can keep returning to because it lets her act. That distinction matters in a pop landscape that treats vulnerability like a biometric scan. By anchoring the track to Peggy Lee's "Fever", she signals lineage and taste, but also a strategy: translate a classic aura of controlled heat into a modern song about isolation. Loneliness, in her telling, isn't just a feeling you confess; it's a mood you can stylize.

The subtext is craft. "Jazzy feel" and "bit of character" are code for a singer who understands that persona is an instrument. The point isn't simply that she relates to the lyric; it's that the song gives her room to shape-shift onstage, to turn something potentially static - sadness - into something playable, elastic, even entertaining. That "which is fun" at the end lands like a wink: she's allowed to enjoy the theatricality of melancholy without betraying its emotional stakes.

Contextually, this reads like an artist bridging eras while defending pop as performance art, not diary entry. Invoking Peggy Lee places her in conversation with a tradition where suggestion beats oversharing, where the singer's job is to imply a whole story in a glance, a pause, a syllable. Carpenter isn't just talking about never getting sick of a song; she's describing why she'll never tire of the role it lets her inhabit.
