Sabrina Carpenter Comeback Lewat Lagu ‘Manchild’ dan Album Baru, Ini Liriknya!

Kali ini, Sabrina Carpenter kembali berkolaborasi bersama dua kolaborator andalannya yakni Amy Allen dan Jack Antonoff, dua nama besar ini yang berperan penting dalam kesuksesan album Short n’ Sweet tahun lalu.

Buat kamu yang belum tahu, Amy dan Jack adalah pemenang GRAMMY® Award yang dikenal berkat karya pop mereka yang berkualitas. Amy Allen sendiri dikenal sebagai penulis lagu yang sering bekerja sama dengan penyanyi papan atas. Sementara itu, Jack Antonoff adalah produser di balik banyak karya legendaris milik Taylor Swift, Lorde, dan Lana Del Rey. Nggak heran kalau kolaborasi mereka dengan Sabrina lagi-lagi sukses mencuri perhatian.

Perilisan lagu Manchild menjadi pembuka babak baru menuju album teranyar Sabrina yang akan datang, Man’s Best Friend, yang dijadwalkan rilis pada 29 Agustus 2025. Namun, siapa sangka? Begitu perilisan lagu Manchild langsung memicu berbagai spekulasi di kalangan penggemar.

Meski tak menyebut nama secara detail, banyak yang menduga lagu ini menceritakan seorang pria yang dinilai belum dewasa. Dan sebagian fans yakin, ini ada kaitannya dengan Barry Keoghan, mantan Sabrina Carpenter.

Menariknya lagi, Sabrina sempat menulis kalimat yang memperkuat pendapat para penggemar di akun X miliknya, “this one’s about you!!”.

Bahkan, pada bagian lirik reff-nya pun terdengar cukup sarkastik dan penuh sindiran “Man-child / Why you always come a-running to me?”.

[Intro]

Oh boy

[Verse 1]

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?

[Pre-Chorus]

Stupid

Or is it slow?

Maybe it's useless?

But there's a cuter word for it, I know

[Chorus]

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?

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

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?

[Bridge]

Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get

And 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)

[Chorus]

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)

[Outro]

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)
