Two-time GRAMMY® Award-winning global superstar Sabrina Carpenter has released her highly anticipated new album, Man’s Best Friend — available everywhere now. Alongside the album, she has also shared the official music video for “Tears,” directed by Bardia Zeinali and co-starring Colman Domingo.
Written by Sabrina with frequent collaborators Amy Allen, Jack Antonoff, and John Ryan — and co-produced by Sabrina, Jack, and John — Man’s Best Friend showcases her sharp lyricism, irresistible pop melodies, and bold storytelling. The album features 12 tracks, including the platinum-certified lead single, “Manchild,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. The hit marked Sabrina’s second chart-topper, following last summer’s smash “Please Please Please,” and Island Records’ first-ever No. 1 debut.
The Hollywood Reporter raved, “The ‘Espresso’ singer is back to take her summer song crown for the second year in a row with her infectiously catchy new single.” Since its release, the “Manchild” music video has drawn nearly 60 million views, with Rolling Stone adding, “Carpenter radiates in feel-good disco energy.” Now, Sabrina caps off the summer with a pop album destined to stay on repeat well into 2026.
Man’s Best Friend marks Sabrina’s seventh studio album and follows the success of Short n’ Sweet. Released last August, Short n’ Sweet topped the charts globally, selling 10 million copies worldwide. Its three singles — “Espresso” (2.4 billion streams), “Please Please Please” (1.5 billion), and “Taste” (1.1 billion) — each entered Spotify’s prestigious Billions Club.
The album also earned Sabrina six GRAMMY® nominations as a first-time nominee, ultimately winning two awards: “Best Pop Vocal Album” for Short n’ Sweet and “Best Pop Solo Performance” for “Espresso.” A deluxe edition soon followed, adding five new tracks, including a duet with Dolly Parton on “Please Please Please” and the fan favorite “Busy Woman,” which Sabrina premiered during her sold-out arena tour.
On the international stage, Sabrina broke records by becoming the first female artist to hold the top three positions on the UK Singles Chart simultaneously with “Taste,” “Please Please Please,” and “Espresso.” She also set a new record for most weeks at No. 1 in a single year by a female artist on the UK chart (21 weeks total) and became the first international artist to receive the BRITs’ Global Success Award. In July, she headlined BST Hyde Park, where she debuted “Manchild” live and surprised fans by bringing out Duran Duran for “Hungry Like The Wolf.”
Next week, Sabrina will return to the MTV VMAs, where she is a 14-time nominee. This year she’s up for eight awards, including Video of the Year for “Manchild,” as well as Best Pop Artist, Best Album, Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Visual Effects. Earlier this month, she headlined Lollapalooza, performing to one of the festival’s biggest crowds.
This fall, Sabrina embarks on the second sold-out North American leg of her acclaimed Short n’ Sweet Tour. Beginning October 23rd in Pittsburgh, the run includes stops at major arenas in New York, Nashville, Toronto, and Los Angeles. She will perform five nights at Madison Square Garden and six nights at Crypto.com Arena, wrapping the tour on November 23. This follows the success of her first 33-date North American leg last year and her sold-out European run, which expanded with additional shows in four cities due to overwhelming demand.

The album features her hit single “Feather,” which went #1 at Top 40 Radio, earning Sabrina her first #1. Her sold-out emails i can’t send tour took her to North America, Europe, Asia and Brazil, and she recently served as direct support for Taylor Swift in Latin America, Australia, and Singapore on the Eras Tour.
In April, Sabrina made her Coachella debut and was one of the most talked-about artists of the festival. Ahead of her Coachella debut, she released her single “Espresso,” which quickly climbed the charts. Upon release, Pitchfork declared “Espresso” as “in pole position to be this year’s song of the summer,” and The New York Times heralded the single as the song ready to “propel her to the next level”.
Since its release, “Espresso” has gone on to reach #1 on the UK & Australian singles charts, Top 5 in the US, and #1 on Spotify globally, where it reached over 200M streams within its first month. Her second single, “Please Please Please,” was released in June and shot straight up to the top of the charts.
The single hit #1 on Spotify’s Global and US charts, #1 on Apple Music, and debuted at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 before claiming the #1 spot a week later and went #1 at US Pop Radio. Sabrina made her Saturday Night Live debut in May on the season finale, where she performed “Espresso” and “Feather/Nonsense.”
In August, she released her highly anticipated sixth studio album, Short n’ Sweet. The album was instantly met with an outpouring of critical acclaim from the likes of the New York Times, Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, Variety, and many more.
The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, making it the 3rd biggest first week debut in the US in 2024, and became only the second album that year to spend its first three weeks atop the list.
