Pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has officially revealed her upcoming album titled "Man’s Best Friend," set to release on August 29, 2025, through Island Records. This will be her seventh studio album, coming just a year after the widely successful Short n’ Sweet.
The announcement was made via social media, where Sabrina shared bold new artwork and links to pre-order the album in different formats like vinyl, cassette, CD, and a collector's picture disc. Fans are excited to hear fresh music from the singer, who has quickly become one of pop’s rising stars. The album promises playful and powerful themes that reflect her growth as both an artist and storyteller.
New Single “Manchild” Offers a Bold Preview of the Album
Alongside the album news, Sabrina dropped a new single titled “Manchild” on June 5, 2025. The song carries a fun, upbeat pop sound, but with sharp lyrics aimed at immaturity in romantic relationships. Phrases like “Why so sexy if so dumb?” have sparked both laughs and applause from fans.
“Manchild” was co-written with Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, two big names in pop songwriting. The song quickly climbed to the top of Spotify’s U.S. and Global charts, showing that fans are loving this new side of Sabrina’s music. The music video adds to the energy, with humorous and quirky visuals that include Sabrina hitchhiking and taking a bubble bath with pigs—showing off her playful, fearless creative style.
Cover Art Sparks Conversation and Controversy
The album cover has been widely discussed online. It features Sabrina in a suggestive pose on all fours, with a man holding her hair like a leash. Some fans think the image is a bold, sarcastic take on how women are viewed in pop culture, while others feel it goes too far and feeds into negative stereotypes.
Although Sabrina has not commented directly on the artwork’s meaning, many believe it’s meant to start a conversation. Supporters say it fits with the album’s themes of independence, gender roles, and poking fun at modern dating dynamics. The discussion has only added to the buzz around the album’s release.
What to Expect from “Man’s Best Friend”
This album appears to mark a new chapter in Sabrina’s music. It’s said to blend catchy melodies with sharp, self-aware lyrics that deal with relationships, confidence, and navigating life as a young adult in the spotlight. The 12-track album is rumored to explore different sides of love and personal growth.
Influences like Donna Summer and Stevie Nicks are said to shape the sound, mixing retro vibes with modern pop. Early teasers have shown phrases like “Hey men!” and “Amen!” on billboards, suggesting the album may also explore social messages in a humorous, catchy way.
Sabrina’s Rising Career and What Comes Next
Sabrina Carpenter is enjoying a huge moment in her career. In early 2025, she won two Grammy Awards: one for Best Pop Vocal Album and another for Best Pop Solo Performance. She’s currently touring across North America on her Short n’ Sweet Tour, performing in sold-out arenas and receiving strong reviews.
With the new album set to release in August, many fans expect a follow-up tour to be announced later in the year. Though dates haven’t been confirmed, there’s a lot of excitement around what surprises Sabrina might have in store next.
