"Feather" is a song by American singer Sabrina Carpenter from Emails I Can't Send Fwd:, the 2023 reissue of her fifth studio album, Emails I Can't Send (2022). Carpenter wrote it with songwriter Amy Allen and producer John Ryan. Island Records released its sped-up version on August 4, 2023, and Republic Records promoted its original version to radio stations on September 12, 2023. A combination of pop, dance, disco, and bubblegum music, "Feather" is a post-breakup track which celebrates the freedom and relief one feels upon ending a relationship and shedding its weight. Music critics praised the production of "Feather", describing it as light and airy. In the United States, the song peaked at number 21 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Carpenter's first song to reach the top 40; it was also her first number 1 on the Pop Airplay chart. The song reached the top 20 in Honduras, Latvia, Malaysia, Singapore, and the United Kingdom. It received a diamond certification in Brazil and platinum or higher in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Mia Barnes directed the horror-inspired music video for "Feather", which was released on Halloween in 2023. It depicts the deaths of several men who mistreat Carpenter, who then dances at their joint funeral in the Annunciation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Church. The video received a positive critical response but caused controversy when the Catholic Bishop of Brooklyn, Robert J. Brennan, issued a statement criticizing the church scenes and suspended the priest who allowed them to be filmed. Carpenter performed the song at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show and at the 2023 Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve. She included it in her set list for the Emails I Can't Send, Eras, and Short n' Sweet tours.
