'People are discussing the lyrics, and they are talking about them as if Sabrina Carpenter wrote these lyrics herself,' Beato says in his video. 'Now maybe Sabrina Carpenter wrote one line or changed a couple of words or something,' he adds, without providing evidence to back up this claim. As of this writing, Beato's video has more than 1.2 million views, and his channel, which often features interviews with classic rock icons, has more than 5 million subscribers. Beato goes on to mention that the song was co-written by Carpenter with songwriters and , who have worked with Carpenter in the past. Allen was one of the writers on Carpenter's massive breakout hit 'Espresso.' Carpenter, Allen and Antonoff also collaborated on her hit 'Please, Please, Please.'After noting Allen's and Antonoff's credits as writers on several hits by other artists, Beato again takes a shot at Carpenter's role in writing her songs. 'Yeah, she might be in the room for some of this stuff, but the fact of the matter is these same people are all over multiple hit songs.' He also questions her role in the making of her videos. 'When I see people make videos on YouTube where they're about her lyrics, what this 'Manchild' thing means, it's like doesn't mean anything,' Beato says. 'Every bit of this video has been meticulously crafted. They do story boards. They do all this kind of stuff. They figure out what kind of outfits, what the vibe's going to be. The same thing with the album cover art. All of it is a completely calculated thing. She's a pop star. This is a thing that I guess a lot of people don't realize that this stuff is figured out by massive groups of people. These are not songs that are coming from Sabrina Carpenter's head.' While Beato's video is seemingly designed to inform his followers about the making of pop records, some took it as an unwarranted attack on Carpenter. 'Something so unseemly about Rick Beato popping off on Sabrina Carpenter,' author/musician , host of The Record Store Day podcast, wrote on his Facebook page. 'Such a bitter Lefsetz-ian move,' he added, referring to music industry commentator . Despite Myers' criticism, those who commented on Beato's YouTube video generally seemed to agree with Beato's thoughts on the matter. 'A few writers writing for everyone, a few producers producing everyone, mixed and mastered by the same people. Starts to feel like McMusic,' wrote one.
