Sabrina Carpenter unveils mysterious teaser and billboard campaign for rumoured new song “Manchild”

Sabrina Carpenter has ignited fan theories and online chaos with a cryptic new teaser hinting at a major musical release.

The pop star posted a 16-second clip on social media featuring her hitchhiking in micro denim shorts and heels, closing with a casual “Oh boy.” The silent video captioned " we're READY" instantly went viral, sparking speculation over what’s coming next.

The billboards, credited to SC Entertainment, include phrases like “HEY MEN,” “AMEN,” and “I SWEAR THEY CHOOSE ME I’M NOT CHOOSING THEM,” with one prominently featuring the word “Manchild” in quotes alongside a 2025 copyright.

Carpenter has not confirmed if the new release is a single, a video, or both, but her timing is strategic. With the North American leg of her Short n’ Sweet Tour resuming in July, a summer anthem seems imminent. Additionally, she will be headlining Primavera Sound Barcelona this weekend alongside Charli XCX and Chappell Roan.

In addition to her music, Carpenter is rumoured to be in talks for Mamma Mia! 3, potentially playing a character related to Meryl Streep’s.
