Sabrina Carpenter Releases New Single Manchild With Satirical Music Video

Sabrina Carpenter released her new single "Manchild," a cheeky and humorous critique of emotionally immature men, which she co-wrote with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff shortly after finishing her album Short n' Sweet. The song's lyrics and playful tone highlight frustrations with past partners, capturing the confusing and fun experiences of young adulthood. Accompanying the track is a theatrical music video directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, featuring Carpenter traveling across the American West on bizarre vehicles while encountering various hopeless suitors who fail to help her get anywhere. The video, which Carpenter described as exactly how she pictured it, uses absurd and comedic imagery to lampoon modern dating mishaps and immature men. "Manchild" marks Carpenter's first release following the success of Short n' Sweet, and she is currently on a brief tour hiatus with upcoming performances planned. The single is also available on a transparent 7-inch vinyl with a B-side, and Carpenter is set to headline major music festivals later this year.
