The album follows the success of Carpenter’s 2024 album Short n’ Sweet, with its deluxe edition arriving in February 2025. Man’s Best Friend is now available for pre-order, with a special picture disc featuring artwork by Jacob Rochester, depicting Carpenter alongside a man.
Carpenter’s new single, Manchild, which she released on June 5, has been a major success. The track quickly topped the Spotify U.S. chart, accumulating nearly two million streams. Carpenter described the song as “the embodiment of a loving eye roll,” noting it perfectly captures the feeling of a long summer road trip.
After performing at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, Carpenter will continue her summer festival circuit, with notable performances in London, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits. Later this year, she will embark on a North American tour, performing in major cities such as New York and Los Angeles, with multiple nights scheduled at Madison Square Garden and Crypto.com Arena.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend album is poised to be a major milestone in her career, following the massive success of Short n’ Sweet, which sold over 10 million copies globally and earned her six Grammy nominations.
