Sabrina Carpenter has shared her first proper single of 2025. Carpenter co-wrote “Manchild” alongside frequent collaborator Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, with Antonoff also handling production duties. The song features such withering couplets as “Did you just say you’re finished? Didn’t know we started/It’s all so familiar, baby, what do you call it/Stupid, or is it slow?” Watch Carpenter unfurl a surreal desert odyssey in the video for “Manchild,” directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, below.
In February, Carpenter released a deluxe version of her 2024 album, Short n’ Sweet. That same month, she also took home two trophies at the Grammy Awards—Best Pop Vocal Album, for Short n’ Sweet, and Best Pop Solo Performance, for the album’s lead single, “Espresso”—where she also performed a medley of “Espresso” and the Antonoff-produced “Please Please Please.”
Carpenter takes the stage at Primavera Sound Barcelona on June 6. The pop singer is also set to headline at Austin City Limits and Lollapalloza, after which she’ll kick off another run of North American tour dates supported by Ravyn Lenae, Amber Mark, and Olivia Dean.
