A popular phrase used on social media about a song that flopped/didn't do very well. The poster will liken the song to Sabrina Carpenter's smash hit "Espresso" which catapulted her career. Often times this is used sarcastically or ironically to a refer to an even bigger hit single.
OP: *posts video of Nicki Minaj Super Bass*
