Sabrina Carpenter Calls Out A ‘Manchild’ On New Single


Barely a year out from her inescapable “Espresso,” Sabrina Carpenter has another new song ready to soundtrack the summer. The star’s latest track, “Manchild,” will be released Thursday (6/5) at 8 p.m. ET, with Carpenter writing on Instagram, “this one’s about you!!”
“Manchild” was produced by longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and is available on a seven-inch vinyl single backed by something titled “Inside of your head when you’ve just won an argument with a man.”

The timing points to Carpenter debuting “Manchild” in front of an audience on Friday when she headlines the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona. She pulled off a similar maneuver in 2024 by premiering “Espresso” during her Coachella set.
As of yet, there are no details on whether “Manchild” heralds the follow-up to 2024’s multiple Grammy-winning Short n’ Sweet. Carpenter released a deluxe edition of that album in February with several new songs, including a Dolly Parton-assisted version of “Please Please Please” and “Busy Woman,” which has nearly 199 million Spotify streams.
