There’s a new song to add to your CPR repertoire. It’s courtesy of three labor and delivery nurses from Texas. The trio used Sabrina Carpenter’s hit song “Please Please Please” to perform chest compressions.
In a video posted to TikTok, one of the nurses performs compressions to another nurse’s rendition of the song during their routine CPR training.
Speaking to TODAY.com, the three colleagues said they put the song to the test during Resuscitation Quality Improvement (RQI) training.
“Basically, we have to do what’s called RQI, which is like quarterly training for CPR,” Nicole Curry, one of the nurses, shared. “You practice with mannequins and things like that. We had seen on TikTok that this could be the correct rate.”
“The mannequin corrects you if you’re doing it too fast or too slow, but it never corrected us,” Julie Watson, another nurse, added. “So, we were like, ‘Yeah, it works!’”

The group’s post quickly gained traction on the social media platform. Hundreds of users expressed their gratitude for their guidance. They said they hope their video will help people understand how critical it is to possess life-saving skills.
“It’s a good reminder that everybody knows,” Alyssa Gonzalez, a third nurse, explained. “It can help people stay on the beat during CPR until paramedics arrive.”
After “Please Please Please” debuted over the summer, the American Heart Association said the song beats work for performing hands-only CPR.
“Please, please, please… Learn Hands-Only CPR. It has just two steps and could save the life of someone you love,” the organization wrote in an Instagram post. “If you see a teen or adult collapse, call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest.”
Other songs that work include “Stayin’ Alive” by the Bee Gees, “Crazy in Love” by Beyonce featuring Jay-Z, “Hips Don’t Lie” by Shakira, “The Man” by Taylor Swift, and Chappel Roan’s “Pink Pony Club.”
