"'Hands'" is a song by Swedish DJ Mike Perry, British band The Vamps and American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It was released on 19 May 2017 by DF Records and Sony Music. The song was written by Brad Simpson, Connor Ball, Tristan Evans, James McVey, George Tizzard, Rick Parkhouse, Samuel Preston, Rachel Furner, Mikael Persson, Dimitri Vangelis and Andreas Wiman and produced by Red Triangle, Persson, Vangelis and Wiman. Lyrically, the deep house, pop and tropical house song talks about thinking of a person you want to have a physical contact. It was third single from their third studio album, 'Night & Day (Night Edition)' (2017).

Background and recording



The song was described as "upbeat with inexplicable energy."

The first time Carpenter used profanity in a song, the word "shit" in one of her verses in the song was misunderstood. "Shirt" was originally written in the lyrics but Carpenter sang "shit" instead, as she had not seen the lyrics but only heard the demo. James McVey of The Vamps only told her about the lyrics after the song was released. When asked by Carpenter on why the word was "shirt", McVey said "Well, in the first verse it goes, 'drop that dress to the floor', so she would say 'leave your shirt at the door'."

The song was written in 2017 by Brad Simpson, Connor Ball, Tristan Evans, James McVey, George Tizzard, Rick Parkhouse, Samuel Preston, Rachel Furner, Mikael Persson, Dimitri Vangelis and Andreas Wiman and produced by Red Triangle, Persson, Vangelis and Wiman. The song's vocalists are Simpson and Sabrina Carpenter. The song was mixed and recorded by Persson and was mastered by Dick Beetham at 360 Mastering in London. The bass guitar was played by Ball and Parkhouse while drums were played by Evans. Parkhouse programmed the track and provided additional vocals with Furner, Tizzard and Preston. Clapping was provided by Furner and Preston while Tizzard played piano. Tizzard and McVey play guitar on the track.'Night & Day' liner notes [CD], EMI Virgin Records (2018).
