Sabrina Carpenter Just Announced Her Next Album with Cheeky Cover Art
Between 'Espresso' taking over our playlists, 'Manchild' racing to No. 1 on Spotify, and a sold-out arena tour that will now run until Thanksgiving, Sabrina Carpenter is in full victory-lap mode—and she isn't slowing down. Less than a year after Short n' Sweet won two Grammys and soared up the charts, the singer has confirmed a brand-new LP, Man's Best Friend, arriving August 29. Carpenter revealed the news with a playfully provocative Instagram carousel: The first slide shows her on all fours in a little black dress while a suited arm tugs at her hair; the second slide zooms in on a powder-blue collar engraved with the phrase 'Man's Best Friend.' The imagery could be a tongue-in-cheek hint that the album might explore themes of loyalty and sexual power dynamics. It's also a reminder that pop's reigning mischief-maker still has plenty of tricks up her sleeve. Below, every detail we have so far, from release details to what 'Manchild' signals about the singer's next chapter. Carpenter's seventh studio album will arrive at the tail-end of summer, on August 29, via Island Records. Pre-orders are already live on the singer's website. Carpenter leans into the canine pun on the album's cover art. Only the lead single, 'Manchild,' is officially locked in, but it's already setting the tone for the rest of the record. Co-written with longtime collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, the synth-pop track topped both Spotify's U.S. and Global charts within 48 hours of release. In an X post, Carpenter called the track 'the embodiment of a loving eye roll' and urged listeners to 'stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long.' If 'Manchild' is offering any clues, we could expect more seductive pop melodies and subversive lyrics from Carpenter's next act.

Alex Warren defends Sabrina Carpenter support amid 'Manchild' vs. 'Ordinary' chart battle
Musician and internet personality Alex Warren has addressed backlash after showing public support for Sabrina Carpenter's latest single, 'Manchild,' which is currently rivaling his hit 'Ordinary' for the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. On June 9, Warren, 24, posted a Spotify link to 'Manchild' on his Instagram Stories, calling attention to Carpenter's new release. However, the post drew criticism from some fans who felt his endorsement was inappropriate, given that 'Manchild' is competing directly with 'Ordinary,' which has held the No. 1 spot for two weeks. Warren responded to the negativity on X (formerly Twitter), writing, 'Wait why is everyone so mean on here… music is music. I'm so blessed to be on the chart and I'm also so happy for all the wins in music. 'Manchild' is such a great record and I'm so honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Sabrina.' Wait why is everyone so mean on here… music is music. I'm so blessed to be on the chart and I'm also so happy for all the wins in music. Manchild is such a great record and I'm so honored to be mentioned in the same sentence as Sabrina. Ordinary means so much to me and so many… — Alex Warren (@alexwaarren) June 9, 2025 He continued, 'Ordinary means so much to me and so many people and it's totally ok if it doesn't to you. I'm just happy to be here :).' Many fans rallied behind Warren, praising his mature response and voicing their support for both artists. Comments included calls to stop online harassment and to celebrate all musical achievements. Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' was released on June 5 through Island Records. Alex Warren's 'Ordinary,' inspired by his wife Kouvr Annon, was released earlier this year via Atlantic Records and has been a breakout success. As both singles battle for chart dominance, Warren's reaction has sparked discussions about competition, respect, and positivity in the music industry.
