Manchild by Sabrina Carpenter

About

“Manchild” is a country-influenced synth-pop anthem that takes aim at immature men. It serves as the lead single for Sabrina Carpenter’s seventh album, Man’s Best Friend. It follows the deluxe edition of her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet. On June 2, 2025, Carpenter first teased the track via social media with a clip that showed a series of billboards over Interstate 69. With a final advertisement, the American performer revealed the title and hinted at the male muse behind the tune: This one’s about you!! “Manchild” marks Carpenter’s first-ever #1 debut single on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Upon achieving the milestone, the “Espresso” singer took to Instagram to thank her fans and collaborators for their support: I can’t tell you how much this means to me!!!! This song makes me so happy. Thank you eternally for listening.
