Sabrina Carpenter BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Sabrina Carpenter is making a splash in the music world with the announcement of her new single "Manchild," set to release Thursday, June 5, 2025, at 8 PM ET. The pop star teased the release on June 2 with a video of herself hitchhiking on an abandoned highway, wearing a cropped white shirt and denim shorts. She followed this with an official announcement on June 3, sharing the cover art on Instagram with the caption "this one's about you!!"

The announcement has generated significant buzz on social media, with fans declaring she's "coming to save 2025." Cryptic billboards spotted along Interstate 69 with messages like "Amen" and "I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them" added to the anticipation.

"Manchild" was produced by longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff and will be available on a seven-inch vinyl single. The vinyl includes a bonus track intriguingly titled "Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man." Some fans speculate the song might reference her past relationship with Barry Keoghan, which ended in December 2024.

The timing of the release is strategic, as Carpenter is scheduled to headline the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona the day after release, mirroring her strategy from 2024 when she debuted "Espresso" during her Coachella set.

In early May, Carpenter surprised fans with a cameo on Saturday Night Live during Quinta Brunson's monologue, participating in a comedic musical number celebrating being "fun size" alongside Marcello Hernandez and NBA star Dwyane Wade. The appearance generated significant buzz on Instagram and TikTok.

Beyond her music, Carpenter is preparing for the second North American leg of her Short n' Sweet Tour, which kicks off in October 2025. The tour includes multiple dates in Pittsburgh, New York, Nashville, Toronto, and Los Angeles, with opening acts Amber Mark, Olivia Dean, and Ravyn Lenae on select dates.

Carpenter's style has also been making waves, with her "micro" shorts look from the "Manchild" teaser credited with revitalizing the trend for summer 2025, further cementing her influence in both music and fashion.
