Bed Chem

"Bed Chem" is a song by American singer Sabrina Carpenter from her sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet (2024). Written by Carpenter, Julia Michaels, Amy Allen, John Ryan and Ian Kirkpatrick and produced by the two latter, Island Records released the song to US contemporary hit radio on October 8, 2024, as the album's fourth single. Musically, it is an R&B, disco, and synth-pop song set over a synthesizer-backed musical bed. The lyrics detail Carpenter's attraction to a man, which leads her to imagine satisfying sexual encounters with him. Some music critics were positive about "Bed Chem", while others considered it unoriginal and criticized the sexual lyrics. "Bed Chem" debuted and peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Outside of the United States, "Bed Chem" peaked within the top ten of the charts in Australia, Ireland, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. "Bed Chem" was certified triple platinum in Australia and Canada, double platinum in the United States, and platinum in New Zealand and the United Kingdom.
