đ Something Strange Just Happened on SpotifyâŠ
Spotify users were left stunned this weekend as a mysterious glitch in the Canvas loop for Sabrina Carpenterâs âPlease Please Pleaseâ and âEspressoâ appeared to flash the name of a never-before-heard track. Fans immediately began buzzing across TikTok, Reddit, and Discord, suspecting that Sabrinaâs next release had just been accidentally teased by Spotify itself.
Thereâs no official confirmation yet, and blogs havenât picked this up â but fans who caught it are calling this the âsecret track teaser of 2025.â
đ” What Is Spotify Canvas, and Why Does It Matter?
For those unfamiliar, Spotify Canvas is a looping short video (usually 8 seconds) that plays in the background of a trackâs Now Playing screen. Artists use it to create a vibe, hint at upcoming visuals, or even tease upcoming music.

So when fans spotted a sudden flicker in the Canvas loop on âPlease Please Pleaseâ that appeared to show the phrase âDonât Let Me Goâ for less than a second, speculation erupted. Was this Sabrinaâs unreleased song? A glitch teaser? Or just a strange coincidence?

đ What the Fans Are Saying: Reddit & Discord Buzz
As of July 7, there are no official updates from Sabrina Carpenter or Spotify, but that hasnât stopped Reddit and Discord from exploding with theories. A small but vocal group of fans on r/SabrinaCarpenterFans shared screenshots from their Spotify apps that showed a blurry overlay during the Canvas loop â most notably around 0:02 to 0:04.
In a now-viral Discord message, one fan wrote:
âMy Canvas flickered while listening to Espresso. Thought I was hallucinating, but I screen-recorded it â swear it says âDonât Let Me Goâ at the bottom right!â
Another Redditor mentioned:
âSpotify does this sometimes before surprise drops. Drake had a similar glitch before Scary Hours 3.â
While we canât verify each screen capture, the consistency of these reports is strong enough to warrant attention.
đ„ Why This Might Be a Genius Marketing Move
If this was intentional, it would be one of the most creative stealth teases of 2025. Sabrina is no stranger to viral marketing â her âEspressoâ rollout dominated TikTok earlier this year and her Please Please Please video has over 100 million streams. A surprise drop with a Canvas glitch easter egg? Thatâs Taylor Swift-level subtlety.
This comes just days after Olivia Rodrigo was rumored to be working with Fortnite on an in-game concert experience â indicating a new era where artists plant clues in non-traditional platforms like Spotify, TikTok visuals, and even video game skins.
