Watch Sabrina Carpenter Debut ‘Manchild’ Live at Primavera Sound

Hours after Sabrina Carpenter dropped her new single “Manchild,” the singer debuted her latest Song of the Summer stab live for the first time Friday at Barcelona, Spain’s Primavera Sound festival.

“So I put out this new song yesterday. I was thinking I could sing it for you right now for the first time,” Carpenter said before the performance, which was preceded by a faux advertisement for a product called Manchild Spray.

In an Instagram post following the single’s release, Carpenter shared a series of behind-the-scenes photos from the video. The singer-songwriter said she wrote the song “on a random tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n’ sweet and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life.”

She said “Manchild” has become “something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life,” adding, “it sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me!”

In addition to “Manchild,” Carpenter also performed a cover of the Weather Girls’ disco classic “It’s Raining Men” for the first time:

Next month, Carpenter will perform two nights at London’s Hyde Park, followed by stops at festivals Lollapalooza (August 3) and Austin City Limits (October 4 and 11). In the fall, she’ll kick off another North American leg of the Short n’ Sweet tour, which includes a return to Madison Square Garden for three shows.
