Sabrina Carpenter Plans New Single 'Manchild' Following Split From Barry Keoghan

Sabrina Carpenter is generating significant buzz with her upcoming single "Manchild," which fans widely believe is a pointed critique of her ex-boyfriend, Irish actor Barry Keoghan. She teased the release with a vintage-style clip and provocative billboards across US cities, featuring phrases like "Inside of your head when you've just won an argument with a man" and "I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them," intensifying speculation about the song's subject. Sabrina and Barry, who were publicly linked in early 2024 after dating since 2023, ended their relationship reportedly due to conflicting lifestyles and touring schedules. The teaser clip shows Carpenter hitchhiking and being ignored, ending with her saying "Oh, boy," adding to the narrative of frustration. Fans have embraced the track as a fierce response to the breakup, with social media comments encouraging her to "drag him" and calling the song a potential summer anthem. Sabrina is currently on her "Short n’ Sweet" tour and this new release follows her Grammy-winning single "Espresso."
