"Hands" is a song by Swedish DJ Mike Perry, featuring British band The Vamps and American singer Sabrina Carpenter. It was released on 19 May 2017.The song was also included on The Vamps' third studio album, Night & Day (Night Edition) (2017).
The song was described as "upbeat with inexplicable energy." The song was performed by The Vamps on their Middle of the Night Tour, alongside Carpenter, who toured together with them as a supporting act.
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'."
