Data Insight
On her debut, Sabrina Carpenter co-wrote four of the twelve tracks ('Your Love's Like', 'Too Young', 'Seamless', and 'Right Now'), while the bulk of the record was shaped by outside writers and a roster of producers including Mitch Allan, Captain Cuts, Matt Squire, Jon Levine, and Brian Malouf. The Hollywood Records project leaned on professional songwriting teams to frame her teen-pop and folk-pop sound. Carpenter's authorial voice is present but limited at this stage of her career.
