Sabrina Carpenter thanks men for 'testing' her in new summer bop 'Manchild'
Sabrina Carpenter is gracing fans with new music. The Short n' Sweet pop star debuted her latest song, 'Manchild,' on June 5, marking her first single of 2025. With assists from her frequent collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, the song sees Carpenter lean into Short n' Sweet's country-pop dispositions once more. On 'Manchild,' Carpenter complains about being pursued by a man she thinks is either stupid or 'maybe useless.' On the chorus, she pleads, 'Man-child/Why you always come a-running to me?/F*** my life/Won't you let an innocent woman be?/Never heard of self-care/Half your brain just ain't there/Man-child/Why you always come a-running, taking all my life from me?' In the second verse, Carpenter asks, 'Why so sexy if so dumb?/And how survive the Earth so long?' The twangy single comes four days after Carpenter originally teased its release on social media. Maintaining her blond bombshell image, Carpenter, with her big hair and Daisy Dukes, is seen trying to hitch a ride on a dirt road in a grainy clip posted to Instagram. Online, many of the pop star's fans, affectionately known as Carpenters, are already singing the track's praises, while others have said the song needs to grow on them. One fan wrote on X, 'i like how manchild isn't even a mean song fr, it's really just questioning how men have lived this long being so damn dumb,' while another fan wrote on TikTok, 'I understand she needs her pop moment but this feels too similar to Chappell [Roan]. I need her to go back to more meaningful lyrics.' 'manchild slander is propaganda i will not be falling for,' one fan declared on X. Some fans have also noted that the release of 'Manchild' comes almost one year after Carpenter debuted her single 'Please Please Please' and its accompanying music video, which features her ex-boyfriend the actor Barry Keoghan. The 'Busy Woman' singer, however, seems to have addressed speculation that the new song is specifically about him. 'i wrote manchild on a random tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n' sweet and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life,' Carpenter wrote in an Instagram caption. 'not only was it so fun to write, but this song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life.' The Grammy winner described 'Manchild' as the 'embodiment of a loving eye roll.' 'it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! hence why i wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long! thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me!! 🐷🤍'

Internet's best reactions to Donald Trump and Elon Musk's political fallout on social media
The escalating feud between Elon Musk and Donald Trump has taken over the internet, with netizens reacting swiftly to the political drama. Initially, tensions arose over Trump's proposed tax bill, which eliminates subsidies for electric vehicles—a move that directly impacts Musk's companies, Tesla and SpaceX. Musk criticised the bill as a 'disgusting abomination' and accused Trump of prioritising outdated energy policies. Trump retaliated by questioning Musk's loyalty and threatening to cancel federal contracts. The situation escalated further when Musk implied Trump's name appears in unreleased Jeffrey Epstein documents, although he provided no evidence. This marked a turning point, shifting the feud from political to personal. What started as a policy dispute spiralled into a deeply personal public battle, and social media was brimming with viral content, memes, and sarcastic commentary. Popular accounts and public figures, including Ashley St. Clair, the alleged mother of one of Musk's children, and Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez, joined the online conversation. Meanwhile, Trump's political opponents also became a highlight amidst the trolling. hey @realDonaldTrump lmk if u need any breakup advice — Ashley St. Clair (@stclairashley) June 5, 2025 I hope Kamala Harris has a giant glass of wine in one hand and her phone in the other right now. — That Gay Guy Candle Co.

Broooos please noooooo 🫂 We love you both so much — ye (@kanyewest) June 5, 2025 Some users expressed how the feud had been imminent, while others focused on its impact.

Sabrina Carpenter's new song 'Manchild' has arrived: Listen here
Sabrina Carpenter has released a new song for your summer playlist. And if you thought some of the songs on her album "Short n' Sweet" were diss tracks, wait 'til you hear her new single, " Manchild." In the upbeat track, which sounds like '80s pop with a hint of country, Sabrina unloads on a guy she calls "stupid, "slow," "dumb," "useless" and "incompetent," while taking herself to task for always ending up with men like that. Listen to the full song here. In the chorus, Sabrina sings, "Manchild, why you always come a-runnin' to me?/ F*** my life/ Won't you let an insane woman be?/ Never heard of self-care/ Half your brain just ain't there/ Manchild, why you always come a-runnin', takin' all my lovin' from me." But later, she admits, "Oh, I like my boys playin' hard to get/ And I like my men all incompetent/ And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosin' them/ Amen." Sabrina created "Manchild" with two of her "Short n' Sweet" collaborators: Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff. On Instagram, Sabrina explains, "I wrote manchild on a random tuesday with amy and jack ... and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life." She went on to describe the song as "something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life." "It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never-ending road trip in the summer!" she added, noting that she's releasing the song now "so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long." "Thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me!!" she wrote. The video for "Manchild" debuts Friday at 10 a.m. ET.

Fans Think Sabrina Carpenter's Manchild Is A Dig At Barry Keoghan
After dominating 2024 with hits like Espresso, Please Please Please and Taste, Sabrina Carpenter is teasing a return to the charts. On Monday, the two-time Grammy winner posted a teaser for new music on social media, showing her hitchhiking along an American highway. — Sabrina Carpenter (@SabrinaAnnLynn) June 2, 2025 The following day, Sabrina announced that her new single, Manchild, would be released in the early hours of Friday morning, alongside a message that teased: 'This one's about you!!' And the title of the song, alongside her cryptic message, led many to assume that the song was inspired by the pop singer's short-lived romance with Oscar nominee Barry Keoghan, with whom she was reported to have split towards the end of last year… Manchild… oh Barry you fucked up… thank you for that cause this is gonna be so good — 🍁🎀🇨🇦 Tea🇨🇦🎀🍁 (@CertainTeaa) June 3, 2025 I told my sister sabrina's new single is called manchild and she's like 'barry' 💀 — ashley🫧 (@blackcherryox) June 3, 2025 BARRY WELCOME TO UR TAPE 🔥 — Ange (@angeplusfour) June 4, 2025 Okay, is Manchild going to be a diss song to Barry…….🤔 SABRINA?! — Abby Needs HS4 (@AbbyAbbyb1) June 3, 2025 sabrina bout to get on this track and curse barry all the way out i'm too ready — 🫧 (@arilikeatari) June 3, 2025 Barry, just when he thought he wouldn't get asked any more Sabrina Carpenter related questions. — Marco Monteiro (@MMonteiro90) June 3, 2025 barry keoghan fan voice: hey maybe it's about shawn mendes — eli manning fireworks (@cooldetat) June 4, 2025 this bout to be the most passive-aggressive anthem of the summer and i'm READY — huh. (@EveryPostHits) June 3, 2025 sabrina dropping a song called 'manchild' a year after dropping 'please please please' where the lyrics stated 'don't embarrass me motherfucka' is peak artistry. it's why she's the queen of pop. — georgia 💋 (@sabsdecodee) June 3, 2025 It's also been spotted that Barry appears to have deactivated his Instagram account in the lead-up to the release of his ex's new music. Back in December, the Banshees Of Inisherin actor hit back at a wave of abuse that was being levelled at him when it was first reported that he and Sabrina had parted ways, which included jibes about his appearances, criticism of his skills as a father and derogatory comments about his late mother, who died when he was 12 years old. 'I can only sit and take so much,' Barry wrote on X at the time. 'My name has been dragged across the internet in ways I usually don't respond too. I have to respond now because it's getting to a place where there are too many lines being crossed.' He also deactivated his Instagram around this time, saying he could 'no longer let this stuff distract from my family and my work'. Please be respectful x — Barry Keoghan (@BarryKeoghan) December 7, 2024 Barry and Sabrina are believed to have begun dating in late 2023, after meeting at a Givenchy fashion show. They later hard-launched their relationship on the Met Gala red carpet last year, seven months before it was reported that they had split.
