Sabrina Carpenter has sparked excitement among fans with a new Instagram post teasing her upcoming release, “Manchild.”
The pop singer shared a striking photo of herself hitchhiking, accompanied by the caption, “this ones about you!! ‘Manchild’ is out this Thursday 6/5 8pm EST ❤️ special 7" vinyl available now.” This confirms that Carpenter’s new music will be released on June 5, marking the latest chapter in her evolving discography.
This post follows a viral video Carpenter shared yesterday, featuring her hitchhiking in micro denim shorts and heels. The 16-second clip, captioned “we’re READY,” quickly gained traction online, fueling fan speculation about the nature of her upcoming project.
The video’s casual tone and visual style led many to make a possible connection to “Manchild,” particularly after promotional billboards appeared across Texas.

These billboards, credited to SC Entertainment, prominently featured the word “Manchild” along with cryptic phrases such as “HEY MEN,” “AMEN,” and “I SWEAR THEY CHOOSE ME I’M NOT CHOOSING THEM.” The billboards also included a 2025 copyright, further indicating a new release was imminent.
Though Carpenter has not clarified whether “Manchild” will be a single, music video, or part of a larger project, industry observers note the timing is strategic. Carpenter’s North American Short n’ Sweet Tour resumes in July, suggesting “Manchild” could become a summer anthem. Moreover, Carpenter is set to headline Primavera Sound Barcelona this weekend alongside Charli XCX and Chappell Roan, providing an ideal platform for promoting new material.
The caption to the post, 'this ones about you!!', still remains in question, as to whom this is directed. Is this single also going to be a subtle or a much more direct dig towards ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan, as it was seen in 'Please Please Please' remasterd/remix video.
