Sabrina Carpenter Drops Spicy New Single ‘Manchild’

Just as she did with “Espresso,” Sabrina Carpenter is ready to own another summer. The pop superstar has returned with the new single, “Manchild.”

Produced by her collaborator Jack Antonoff, the track opens with a cheeky “Oh boy!” as Carpenter radiates in feel-good disco energy, tearing this guy to shreds. “Manchild, why you always come a-runnin’ to me?/Fuck my life, won’t you let an innocent woman be?” she sings on the chorus. “Never heard of self care/Half your brain just ain’t there/Manchild, why you always come a-runnin’, takin’ all my lovin’ from me?”

Is this the song of the summer? Oh boy, yes.

Carpenter began teasing “Manchild” on Monday, with a video of her in Daisy Dukes, a white button down, and heels, standing on the side of a dusty dirt road with a suitcase. She sticks her thumb out to hitch a ride, uttering the “Oh boy!” Just as she did with Coachella last year, billboards advertised the single; she also posted a reel of her singing the opening lines to Lana Del Rey’s “Norman Fucking Rockwell”: “Goddamn, manchild.” Get it?

The video for the new track is set to release on Friday at 10 a.m. ET.
