Sabrina Carpenter – Manchild
“Manchild” is a musical shrug aimed at that deeply perplexing and seemingly universal species: the immature man. It’s a melodic eye-roll set to music, where Carpenter asks the eternal question, “How do I keep falling for these people?”
Carpenter’s signature style – mixing bubblegum pop with brutal honesty – shines through as she skewers the “manchild” archetype while maintaining a sense of humor and self-awareness. She alternates between lampooning a series of overgrown boys and poking fun at her own alarming tendency to fall for them in the first place.
“Manchild” debuted at #1 on the UK Singles Chart. It became Sabrina Carpenter’s fourth UK chart-topper, following her trio of 2024 hits “Espresso,” “Please Please Please” and “Taste.”
Music video, directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, was released on June 6, 2025. The video, inspired by the fast-paced editing of movie trailers, depicts Carpenter hitchhiking across the American West with a “diverse crop of men” (some of whom use strange modes of transportation, such as a jet ski, a shopping cart attached to a motorcycle, and a motorized recliner chair) and getting into wacky and dangerous scenarios (such as wielding a shotgun, falling off a cliff, and encountering an orca).
