Sabrina Carpenter Summer? Singer Announces New Single ‘Manchild' Ahead of Primavera Sound Set
'Goddamn, man child,' Lana Del Rang once sang on the opening track of Norman Fucking Rockwell! Now, it looks like Sabrina Carpenter is ready to join her in calling out yet another 'Manchild' of her own.
Roughly nine months after the two-time Grammy Award winner released her chart-topping sixth studio album Short N' Sweet, Carpenter is back for more. She announced her latest single, 'Manchild,' on Tuesday, after teasing new music online a day earlier with a short clip of herself standing on the side of the desert attempting to hitchhike.

'this one's about you!! 'Manchild' is out this Thursday 6/5,' Carpenter wrote under a photo of herself with her signature golden curls, holding her thumb out in true hitchhiker-style.
After 'Espresso' became the unofficial song of the summer last year — garnering 1.6 billion streams en route to becoming the most-streamed song of 2024 on Spotify — Carpenter's return with new music has fans hoping she can produce another summer smash as the song of the summer race is still wide open.
In alignment with her release of 'Espresso' ahead of Coachella last year, fans are already suspecting 'Manchild' will make its live debut at Carpenter's headlining set at Primavera Sound in Barcelona this Friday. At this point, it's unclear if the new track will be a part of a brand new album, or solely serve as a single.
Carpenter released the deluxe edition of Short N' Sweet on Valentine's Day earlier this year after she won her first two Grammys. There, she shared a new version of 'Please Please Please' with Dolly Parton, and she also delivered five new tracks, including the single 'Busy Woman.'
