Sabrina Carpenter is gearing up to drop a new song called Manchild on Thursday, June 5, and she’s already stirring up excitement by teasing it with her signature blend of humor and subtle digs at her past relationships. Following the success of her upbeat summer hit Espresso, Sabrina is taking inspiration from her close friend Taylor Swift by opening up more about her last relationship through her music. The announcement came with a playful social media post showing her in mini shorts and a tied-up white shirt, trying—and failing—to hitchhike along a quiet highway, hinting at the vibe of the upcoming track and possibly its music video.
The new release is sparking curiosity, especially given Sabrina’s knack for weaving personal experiences into catchy, relatable songs. Fans can expect another summer anthem that mixes sharp storytelling with her usual playful style.
Her previous relationship with actor Barry Keoghan, who appeared in her Please Please Please music video, ended in December 2024 after a year of dating. Though they had publicly supported each other through various events after their breakup, Sabrina’s latest song seems to suggest she’s ready to express her side of what really went down, and it doesn’t look too flattering for the Oscar-nominated actor. This fresh track might just be Sabrina’s way of putting that chapter behind her and moving forward with some honest storytelling.
