Blending synth-pop, disco, and a touch of country, the track pairs clever lyrics with a breezy, infectious melody—offering a sarcastic yet empowering ode to growing up and moving on.
Written with Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, “Manchild” is, in Sabrina’s own words, a “loving eye-roll” at past relationships, wrapped in shimmering production and packed with personality. Its cinematic music video elevates the message, featuring symbolic scenes of men as animals and chaotic road trip moments that walk the line between humor and critique.
Bold, catchy, and unapologetically fun, “Manchild” marks another confident step in Sabrina’s evolution as a pop powerhouse.

Sabrina Carpenter Lyrics
Oh, boy
You said your phone was broken, just forgot to charge it
Whole outfit you're wearing, God, I hope it's ironic
Did you just say you're finished? Didn't know we started
It's all just so familiar, baby, what do you call it?
Stupid
Or is it slow?
Maybe it's uselessBut there's a cuter word for it, I know
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my loving from me?
Why so sexy if so dumb?
And how survive the earth so long?
If I'm not there, it won't get done
I choose to blame your mom
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my loving from me?
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to getAnd I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them
Amen, hey, men
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them (not choosing them)
Amen (amen), hey, men (hey, men)
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me? (Always come a-running to me)
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be? (Amen)
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I'm not choosing them (not choosing them)
Amen (amen), hey, men (hey, men)
You said your phone was broken, just forgot to charge it
Whole outfit you're wearing, God, I hope it's ironic
Did you just say you're finished? Didn't know we started
It's all just so familiar, baby, what do you call it?
Stupid
Or is it slow?
Maybe it's uselessBut there's a cuter word for it, I know
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won't you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain't there

Why you always come a-running, taking all my loving from me?
Why so sexy if so dumb?
And how survive the earth so long?
If I'm not there, it won't get done
