Sabrina Carpenter just dropped the “Manchild” music video and it is a cinematic masterpiece of petty revenge, glittery glam, and men being embarrassing in HD.
At exactly 10 AM ET on Friday, June 6 — aka the official holiday of dragging your exes into the desert and roasting them like marshmallows — Sabrina, the 26-year-old platinum-blonde pop sorceress and Grammy-snatching fairy queen, released the visuals for her latest anthem, “Manchild.”
And y’all… this ain’t just a music video. This is therapy.
It’s Eat Pray Love meets Mad Max with a splash of America’s Next Top Model (desert season).
What happens in the video?
Picture this: Sabrina struts through a sun-scorched wasteland in outfits so fierce they probably caused a global fabric shortage, while surrounded by an army of chaotic, useless, emotionally unavailable men doing what they do best — absolutely nothing.
One is wearing socks with sandals.
One is crying because she didn’t like his podcast.
Another tried to gaslight her using a TikTok quote he misquoted.
And what does Sabrina do?
She runs. Full sprint. Giving Florence Pugh in Midsommar but with a beat you can shake your ass to.
The lyrics? Pure scorched earth poetry:
“Man-child / Why you always come a-running to me? / F–k my life / Won’t you let an innocent woman be?”
“Never heard of self-care / Half your brain just ain’t there…”
Shakespeare could NEVER. Freud is SHAKING.
This is not just a chorus. This is a multi-generational cursebreaker. This is a hex. This is the national anthem for every girl who’s ever had a man say, “My ex was crazy” and then prove exactly why.
On Instagram, Sabrina revealed the deeper meaning:
“This song is about being too hot and fabulous to babysit a grown man with a fantasy football addiction.”
—Sabrina probably, if she was being honest.
TL;DR:
The “Manchild” music video is an Emmy-worthy, Oscar-adjacent, Grammy-multiplying fever dream where Sabrina Carpenter rebrands heartbreak into haute couture. If you’ve ever dated someone who thinks “emotional availability” is a new iPhone feature, this video is for you.
Watch it now or forever hold your emotionally stunted ex in your group chat memes. 💅🔥🎬
