When did Sabrina Carpenter switch from Hollywood Records to Island Records? Details explored

Following Sabrina Carpenter's reaction to discovering that her former record label, Hollywood Records, only made 200 vinyl copies of her debut album, Eyes Wide Open, fans of the singer called out the record label on social media.

Dubbing her new record label "super supportive", Sabrina called Island Records "the perfect place for me to start the next chapter of my music career and evolution as an artist." Moreover, in a March 2025 interview with Kyle Meredith, Sabrina Carpenter reflected on undergoing a transition from her time at Hollywood Records to signing with Island.

Sabrina mentioned:

"I signed with them when I was 12 years old. Naturally, you’re gonna go through so many different chapters of your life where I genuinely thought maybe the music I was making was what I wanted to be making at that time, because I was 12, 13, 14. And then you kind of enter a new phase of your life and you have completely different preferences and taste and experiences inspiring what you’re doing."
