Sabrina Carpenter Releases ‘Manchild,’ Courting Song of the Summer Status With a Knock on No-Good Guys: ‘Half Your Brain Ain’t There… I Like My Men All Incompetent’


Sabrina Carpenter released the audio version of 'Manchild,' an irresistible look at 'incompetent' men who won't grow up.

The music video will have to wait till Friday morning, but Sabrina Carpenter dropped the audio version of her new single, “Manchild,” Thursday evening, and initial responses were strong, with some fans confidently predicting the upbeat number is strong enough to contend in the Song of the Summer race. Her IG comments saying she just wanted to put it out for summer could be a deflection against expectations that any full-length project is immediately looming, especially when the deluxe version of her last album is still a weekly staple of the Billboard 200 chart. As she did with her mega hit “ Espresso ” for Coachella last year, Carpenter will likely give the song its live debut during her festival appearance at Primavera Sound in Barcelona on Friday.
