Sabrina Carpenter Summer 2.0 Commences With New Single ‘Manchild’

Sabrina Carpenter officially launches her “Summer 2.0” era with the release of her bold new single, “Manchild.” Released on June 5, 2025, through Island Records, the track features sharp lyrics, retro-inspired synth-pop production, and a playful yet pointed message about emotional immaturity. Co-written with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, who also produced the song, “Manchild” highlights Sabrina’s signature wit and sass. Leading up to the release, Carpenter teased the single with cryptic billboards and teaser clips, building anticipation among fans.

The accompanying music video, released on June 6, captures her bold aesthetic—think daisy dukes, baby blue platform heels, and vintage vibes. Lyrically, the track doesn’t hold back, with clever lines like “Did you just say you’re finished? Didn’t know we started…” sparking conversation across social media. While some listeners assumed the song was aimed at a specific ex, Sabrina clarified it’s more about the confusing yet amusing aspects of youth and dating. With upcoming performances at major music festivals and a growing fanbase, “Manchild” cements Sabrina Carpenter’s status as a pop force to be reckoned with this summer.
