Sabrina Carpenter reveals final ‘Man's Best Friend' vinyl cover with exclusive bonus track
Sabrina Carpenter has revealed the fourth and final alternate cover for her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, just three weeks ahead of its official release. The pop star shared the new artwork on Instagram on Friday (Aug. 8), featuring herself seated confidently at a dinner table in a sparkling blue gown, surrounded by five men in tuxedos. Alongside the visual, Carpenter announced a special vinyl-exclusive bonus track titled 'Such A Funny Way,' available only with this version of the album. 'The final alternate cover for Man's Best Friend features such a special bonus track… available only on vinyl,' she wrote, encouraging fans to preorder the limited-edition signed vinyl. The singer also reminded fans of the countdown to the album's arrival, saying, '3 weeks left!!! Can't wait for it to be yours x.' Man's Best Friend, Carpenter's seventh studio album, has generated significant attention since its announcement in June. Much of the discourse has centered around the album's provocative original cover — a photo of Carpenter on all fours with a man pulling her hair — which sparked debate online and even became a topic of discussion on The View. In response, Carpenter has released several alternative covers, including a black-and-white image of her resting on a man's shoulder and another where she is surrounded by flower bouquets. Earlier this week, Carpenter unveiled the official tracklist for Man's Best Friend, which includes 12 songs. Among them is the chart-topping lead single 'Manchild,' which she performed during her recent headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago, where she also shared the stage with Earth, Wind & Fire. All four versions of the album are now available for purchase on Carpenter's official website.
