Lead single “Manchild” is available now
Global superstar Sabrina Carpenter announces her new album, Man’s Best Friend, out August 29th via Island Records. The album’s lead single, “Manchild,” which was written by Carpenter and her frequent collaborators Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, was released last week, quickly ascending to No. 1 on both the Spotify US and Spotify Global charts. The critically acclaimed music video quickly amassed more than 15 million views.
Man’s Best Friend is Sabrina’s seventh studio album and follows her monumental album, Short n’ Sweet. Released last August, Short n’ Sweet topped the charts worldwide and had one of the biggest global debuts of 2024. All three singles off the album, “Espresso” (2.2 billion), “Please Please Please” (1.4 billion), and “Taste” (1 billion) entered the coveted Billions Club on Spotify.
The album garnered Sabrina six Grammy nods as a first-time Recording Academy nominee and won two awards for her Grammy debut. Carpenter took home the Best Pop Vocal Album award for Short n’ Sweet along with Best Pop Solo Performance for the album’s lead single, “Espresso.” She also made her debut on the Grammys stage with a medley of her smash singles “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.” Following the Grammys, Sabrina released Short n’ Sweet (Deluxe), which featured five additional songs, including a duet with global icon Dolly Parton on “Please Please Please” and “Busy Woman” which Sabrina debuted live on her sold-out headlining arena tour.
Internationally, Sabrina shattered records by becoming the first female artist to hold the top three spots on the UK Singles Chart simultaneously with “Taste,” “Please Please Please,” and “Espresso.” She also set a new benchmark for most weeks at No. 1 in a single year by a female artist on the UK chart—totaling 21 weeks—and became the first international artist to receive the BRITs’ Global Success award.
This fall, Carpenter will return with a second sold-out North American leg for her highly acclaimed Short n’ Sweet Tour, which kicks off October 23rd in Pittsburgh and will hit arenas in New York, Nashville, Toronto, and Los Angeles. Sabrina will have a five-night run at Madison Square Garden in New York and a six-night run at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, where the tour will wrap on November 23rd. The second leg follows the incredibly successful 33-date sold-out North American leg, which wrapped last November, and the sold-out European leg, where additional shows were added in four cities due to demand.
