🚨BREAKING NEWS FROM THE POP GIRL HEADQUARTERS🚨
Sabrina “Tiny But Mighty” Carpenter has finally spilled the peppermint mocha tea on her chaotic summer anthem “Manchild” — a track so spicy, it’s been sending the internet into a forensic tailspin trying to decode who it’s about.
Fans immediately started sharpening their pitchforks and circling Barry Keoghan’s house like it was a deleted scene from Midsommar. But plot twist! Sabrina has officially declared, “Calm down, internet detectives. Barry didn’t inspire this one. You can put your clown wigs away.”
In a gloriously chaotic Instagram scroll-worthy note, Sabrina revealed the real inspo behind Manchild, and guess what? It’s not just one man — it’s a whole Olympic relay team of emotionally unavailable dudes from her youthful era of romance delusion.
“This song became to me something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life,” she wrote, which is poetic code for “I dated a bunch of men who were basically sentient red flags in designer jeans.”
She described the vibe as “a loving eye roll,” which is EXACTLY what you do when a guy says he’s “just emotionally not ready for a relationship” but still texts you “u up?” at 2:07 a.m. every full moon.
“It feels like a never-ending road trip in the summer,” she continued — aka that part of the trip where the AC breaks, you’re lost on a dirt road, the aux is stuck on Nickelback, and your situationship is crying in the passenger seat because his “ex still follows him on Goodreads.”
But fear not! Sabrina wrote this melodic therapy session shortly after wrapping her album Short ‘n Sweet, which we now know was basically her Burn Book: Deluxe Edition. And instead of keeping the song in the vault for future court evidence, she generously handed it to us just in time for Hot Girl Summer 2.0.
So go ahead, roll down your windows, scream “MANCHILD” into the abyss, and thank all the boy-men who gave us material to dance-cry to.
Thank you, Sabrina. Thank you, men (for the plot).
💅💔🛻🔥
