Who Is Sabrina Carpenter's New Song "Manchild" About?
Sabrina Carpenter just dropped her new song "Manchild," which everyone (naturally) assumed would be about her ex Barry Keoghan. However! The singer wrote a note on Instagram that offers some insight into the inspiration behind the song, and the timeline kinda implies it's not about Barry. Per Just Jared, Sabrina was still dating Barry when she was finishing Short n' Sweet, aka when "Manchild" was written. Meaning the song isn't about him! However, it could be about one of her other exes, aka Shawn Mendes or Joshua Bassett. there's nothing left to do but read into the lyrics (via Genius), right? Oh, boyYou said your phone was broken, just forgot to charge itWhole outfit you're wearing, God, I hope it's ironicDid you just say you're finished?
