Sabrina Carpenter's new single 'Manchild,' released on June 5, captures playful frustrations with an attractive yet incompetent partner. Written with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, the song serves as a representation of Carpenter's adolescent experiences. Fans speculate about the inspiration behind the song, linking it to her previous work. The track combines country influences, making it an ideal summer anthem for road trips. Carpenter highlights its nostalgic value, aiming for listeners to enjoy it during carefree moments with friends this season.
As one listener pointed out, Carpenter writing 'Manchild' so close to Short n' Sweet seems to suggest it's not about a recent split.
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.
Carpenter said 'Manchild' feels like a road trip - and indeed, the country-leaning pop lends itself to singing along with your friends wherever the season takes you.
As she wonders at one point: 'Why so sexy if so dumb?'."
