About the Song:

Singer/songwriter Sabrina Carpenter found success as a teenager on the Disney Channel series Girl Meets World before embarking on a music career. She hit the big time with her sixth album, Short n’ Sweet, in 2024. The album reached #1 in the U.S. and many other markets around the world and was certified four times platinum. The album was fueled by three top-five hits on the Billboard Hot 100, including the #1 “Please Please Please.”

Her next album, 2025’s Man’s Best Friend, landed Carpenter her second chart-topper with “Manchild.” The “country-tingled” BB’25 song “feels like a sequel to 2024’s ‘Please Please Please’ – in which she’s begging her love interest not to embarrass her – but this time, Sabrina knows exactly what she’s dealing with and still can’t seem to stay away.” BB’25

The “cheeky single” NP is “upbeat and playful,” BB’25 “a glimpse inside the deeply hilarious and very sharp mind of Sabrina Carpenter.” RS’25 She had “built a reputation for her tongue-in-cheek songwriting, and she puts her winking chops to excellent use” BB’25 on what Rolling Stone called an “ABBA rodeo jam.” RS’25 She “writes with characteristic wit about…knowing a man is emotionally stunted but still caring enough to sing a whole song about him.” PF

“Manchild” “cemented her position in the pop penthouse.” BB’25 It “proved the success of Short n’ Sweet wasn’t just a one-off, and that this five-foot-tall innuendo-loving pop star will be here for a while.” RS’25 The song received Grammy nominations for Song and Record of the Year.
