Sabrina Carpenter's latest single, "Manchild," released on June 5, 2025, serves as the lead track from her upcoming seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, slated for release on August 29, 2025 . The song, co-written with Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, delivers a satirical critique of an immature ex-boyfriend, blending country-influenced pop and synth-pop elements with a disco-like energy .

Directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the music video for "Manchild" presents a comedic road trip across the American West, where Carpenter encounters a series of inept and cartoonishly incompetent male companions.The video is described as an homage to female empowerment cinema, swapping traditional violence for witty satire, and crafting a clever narrative where the ultimate payback is simply walking away .
