If “Taste” climbs to No. 1 on the Official U.K. Singles Chart, it will be the third consecutive chart-topping single from Short n’ Sweet, joining “Espresso” and “Please Please Please,” which together dominated the charts for 12 weeks earlier this year.

The leader on the midweek chart, “Taste” is a polished pop track that sees Carpenter addressing an ex-boyfriend and his new partner with unapologetic confidence, delivering lines like: “You’ll just have to taste me when he’s kissin’ you.” With this single, Carpenter effortlessly evolves her sound, bringing a bold edge to the pop style that has defined her success.

Adding to the song’s impact is its music video, which dropped on the same day as the album’s release, Aug. 23.

Directed by Dave Meyers, the video is a wild tribute to classic horror flicks, particularly Death Becomes Her, and it stars none other than Jenna Ortega, known best for her titular role on the Netflix series Wednesday.

The video is a bloody adventure, as Carpenter and Ortega’s characters go head-to-head in a gory, over-the-top showdown that ends with a surprising twist: the two becoming friends after their shared love interest meets a gruesome end.

And it’s not just “Taste” making major moves across the pond—two other tracks from Short n’ Sweet are also climbing chart. “Please Please Please” is currently sitting at No. 5, and the disco-infused “Good Graces” is on track to break into the Top 10 at No. 10.

Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars are also aiming to hit a new peak with their track “Die With A Smile,” which is climbing to No. 6 in the midweek charts.

Meanwhile, Sonny Fodera, Jazzy, and D.O.D are inching closer to a Top 10 breakthrough with their collaborative single “Somedays,” projected to rise to No. 11. Teddy Swims is also on the rise, with his slow-burning hit “The Door” expected to enter the U.K. Top 20 for the first time at No. 18 this Friday
