Sabrina Carpenter reveals real inspiration behind 'Manchild'

Grammy winner Sabrina Carpenter unpacks the fun, reflective journey behind her viral summer anthem with candid BTS insights

"It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll - Sabrina Carpenter"

Los Angeles, June 6

Grammy winning-singer Singer Sabrina Carpenter has finally revealed the real reason behind her latest song “Manchild”, amid speculation that it was inspired by a former partner.

The 26-year-old "Busy Woman" singer shared a candid caption explaining how her latest single came about.

According to the 'Espresso' hitmaker, she wrote "Manchild" on "a random" Tuesday with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff, not long after she finished her sixth album, Short n' Sweet, reports people.com.

"It ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life," Carpenter wrote on Instagram.

Between cheeky photos from the set of her new single, which is out now, she confessed it was "so fun to write."

"But 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. It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never ending road trip in the summer ! Hence why I wanted to give it to you now- so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long!"

She added: "and thank you men for testing me!!."

Though neither Carpenter's song nor her Instagram caption makes mention of any one of her former partners in particular, the "Feather" singer was most recently linked to Barry Keoghan.

The former couple first sparked romance rumors as they were spotted grabbing dinner together in Los Angeles in early December 2023 before taking a break the following December.

Carpenter gained prominence starring in the series Girl Meets World. She released her debut single, "Can't Blame a Girl for Trying" in 2014, followed by the studio albums Eyes Wide Open, Evolution, Singular: Act I, and Singular: Act II.

Her sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet, topped the US Billboard 200, produced the top-three US Billboard Hot 100 singles "Espresso", "Please Please Please" and "Taste", and won two Grammy Awards.

Love how Sabrina turns her experiences into such relatable bops! Manchild is my new anthem for dealing with immature guys in Mumbai dating scene 😂 The summer road trip vibe is perfect for our Indian summers too!

Not sure why Indian media is covering foreign singers so much when we have amazing homegrown talent. But I must admit, her songwriting process sounds interesting - creating hits on random Tuesdays!

As someone who grew up watching Girl Meets World, it's amazing to see Sabrina's evolution! Her music captures the millennial/Gen Z experience so well. Waiting for her India tour dates 🤞

The song is catchy but the "thank you men for testing me" line feels a bit too generalized. Not all men are manchildren yaar! Some of us are trying to be better partners 😅

Her description of the song being like a "loving eye roll" is so accurate! Reminds me of how my girlfriends and I talk about dating struggles in Delhi. More power to women calling out immature behavior 👏

Interesting to see how Western pop stars openly write about exes while our Bollywood stars keep relationships so private. Both approaches have their merits I guess. The song's production is fire though!
