Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild 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 useless
But there's a cuter word for it, I know

Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
F*ck 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?
F*ck 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 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)

Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me? (Always come a-running to me)
F*ck 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)

Sabrina Carpenter - Manchild Video
(Show video at the top of the page)


"Manchild" is a song by American singer Sabrina Carpenter and the lead single from her upcoming seventh studio album Man's Best Friend (2025). Carpenter co-wrote the song alongside Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen, and it was produced by Carpenter and Antonoff. It was released on June 5, 2025, through Island Records. The accompanying music video was released on June 6.

The song was described as a country-influenced pop and synth-pop track with a disco-like energy. Lyrically, it humorously critiques an immature ex-boyfriend over upbeat melodies. "Manchild" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Carpenter's second number-one single in the United States. It also topped the charts in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and reached the top ten in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, as well as the top twenty in Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Singapore, and Sweden.

"Manchild" has been described as a country-influenced pop and synth-pop track with "feel-good disco energy." Multiple outlets compared the song to Carpenter's 2024 single "Please Please Please". The song is about a pathetic ex-boyfriend who Carpenter "comically lays into". Throughout the song, the singer hurls "insults over sweet and upbeat melodies", delivering "withering couplets".

The synth sound and vibes of the single are highly inspired by the 1983 Sylvia country hit "Snapshot".

"Manchild" was first performed live at the Primavera Sound 2025 festival on June 6, 2025.
