Sabrina Carpenter's latest single, "Manchild," explores the theme of romantic relationships where attractive partners often lack substance. With clever lyrics and a catchy melody, Carpenter critiques her historical attraction to seemingly superficial men while simultaneously examining her complicity in these choices. Unlike her previous tracks, "Manchild" features a lively combination of syncopated synths and acoustic guitar, showcasing Carpenter's growth as an artist. The song reflects her understanding of the thrilling yet ultimately flawed dynamics in her past romances, with a humorous and self-reflective tone permeating the narrative.
Carpenter skewers her half-witted beau while hinting that she's maybe, perhaps, ever-so-slightly accountable, too.
The track's syncopated synths and strum-heavy acoustic guitar show that Carpenter is not interested in wallowing, but "Manchild" isn't a full-fledged disco celebration either.
Sabrina Carpenter quips about a pattern in her past romances: "Why so sexy if so dumb?" highlighting a recurring theme in her new single.
"Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get/ And I like my men all incompetent/ And I swear they choose me/ I'm not choosing them," Carpenter wittily notes.
