Sabrina Carpenter Declares War on Toxic Masculinity With Bold New Single ‘Manchild’—Out June 5
Pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter is turning up the heat on the summer music scene once again, announcing her fiery new single “Manchild” with Jack Antonoff, set for release on June 5. Following the explosive success of her hit “Espresso” and a chart-topping deluxe edition of Short n’ Sweet, Carpenter is showing no signs of slowing down. She dropped the news early Tuesday morning via her social media, posting sultry teaser visuals, billboards with cryptic lyrics, and the bold caption: “This one’s about you!!”
The new Sabrina Carpenter track, produced by GRAMMY-winning hitmaker Jack Antonoff, has already fans speculating that it’s a sharp, tongue-in-cheek takedown of emotionally immature men—a theme teased in both the artwork and the viral marketing rollout. One lyric hinted at in pre-release promos reads: “I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them,” striking a chord with young fans navigating the modern dating world.
As if that wasn’t enough, fans can also purchase a special 7-inch vinyl edition of Manchild, which comes with a B-side titled “inside of your head when you’ve just won an argument with a man”—a playful dig that has already generated thousands of pre-orders.
Sabrina also dropped a short teaser trailer Monday, showing her standing roadside in cutoff denim shorts, suitcase by her side, thumbing a ride as cars race past her. The brief clip captures the vibe of independence and irony that Carpenter has mastered—and which fans have come to adore.
Manchild will likely make its live debut on June 6 during Carpenter’s performance at Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona, echoing the surprise unveiling of Espresso at Coachella in 2023. The festival setting seems to have become Carpenter’s preferred launchpad for unleashing her biggest anthems.

The single marks her first new release since Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe), which featured buzzworthy collaborations like “Please Please Please” with Dolly Parton and viral tracks including “Busy Woman” and “Bad Reviews.” The album solidified her status as a pop heavyweight and earned her a devoted fan base drawn to her sharp lyricism, relatable content, and unapologetic attitude.
With Manchild, Sabrina Carpenter continues her evolution into a voice of empowered femininity—reclaiming heartbreak, flipping the script on gender roles, and packaging it all with an infectious pop beat. Backed by Antonoff’s signature sound and fueled by viral anticipation, the single is poised to dominate TikTok trends, streaming charts, and festival stages alike.
If Sabrina Carpenter’s Espresso was playful flirtation with summer pop perfection, Manchild might be her unapologetic mic drop.
