Man’s Best Friend — Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has officially announced her next studio album, Man’s Best Friend, set to release on August 29, 2025. The surprise reveal comes just days after her buzzy debut of the track “Manchild” at Primavera Sound 2025, where she electrified festivalgoers with a high-energy performance and new sound.
Carpenter took to Instagram to unveil the album with bold visuals, including the cover art featuring provocative imagery and a symbolic dog collar inscribed with the album’s title. In her post, she wrote, “My new album, Man’s Best Friend, is out on August 29. I can’t wait for it to be yours x. Pre-order now.”

A Follow-Up to Grammy-Winning Success
Man’s Best Friend follows Carpenter’s breakout 2024 album Short n’ Sweet, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and produced two global hits, “Espresso” and “Please Please Please.” That project earned her two Grammy Awards and cemented her place as one of pop’s most versatile and compelling young stars.
The upcoming album will feature 12 tracks, starting with “Manchild,” a moody and lyrically sharp single co-written with hitmakers Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen. It marks a continued evolution in Carpenter’s songwriting and artistry as she leans into more mature, stylized storytelling.
From Disney Star to Pop Powerhouse
Carpenter’s career has been anything but predictable. First gaining fame on the Disney Channel’s Girl Meets World, she transitioned into film and more introspective music. Her 2022 album Emails I Can’t Send laid the groundwork for a mainstream breakout, and opening for Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour further expanded her global appeal.
Now with Man’s Best Friend, Carpenter looks poised to take the next leap in her already impressive trajectory. From viral lyrics to chart-topping hits, her sharp lyrical wit and genre-bending sound continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
