Sabrina Carpenter Announces New Album Man’s Best Friend, Set for August 29th Release
Sabrina Carpenter
Pop star Sabrina Carpenter has officially announced her highly anticipated seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend, set for release on August 29th, 2025, under Island Records. The announcement comes on the heels of her record-breaking year and builds upon the success of her 2024 Grammy-winning album, Short n’ Sweet.

The album’s lead single, MANCHILD, was released on June 5th and has already topped charts in the U.S., U.K., and Ireland. Co-written with acclaimed producers Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, the song blends synth-pop and country-inspired textures with sharp, playful lyrics, continuing Carpenter’s streak of bold and catchy anthems.



The album title and concept have stirred public conversation, particularly due to the standard cover art, which shows Carpenter on all fours with her hair being pulled by an unseen figure. The provocative image sparked backlash online, prompting Carpenter to release an alternate black-and-white cover, which she captioned as being “approved by God.”

Promotion for the album has been playful and inventive. Carpenter teased the project using puppy-themed social media posts, aligning with the Man’s Best Friend theme. In July, she gradually revealed the album’s 12-song tracklist through a series of posts featuring adorable dogs, adding a lighthearted touch to the album’s rollout.

This new body of work follows a career-high period for the 25-year-old star. Her previous album, Short n’ Sweet, earned her two Grammy Awards—Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance for her viral hit ESPRESSO. It also marked her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200.

With Man’s Best Friend, Carpenter is expected to explore themes of emotional maturity, personal relationships, and the contrast between sweetness and strength. Given the strong early response to MANCHILD and her growing global influence, the album is widely expected to be one of the standout pop releases of 2025.
