Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is gearing up to release her highly anticipated seventh studio album, titled “Man’s Best Friend,” on August 29, 2025. The announcement, made via her official website, comes on the heels of a remarkable period of chart dominance and critical acclaim for the 26-year-old singer-songwriter. Fans can already pre-order the album, eagerly awaiting what promises to be another significant chapter in her evolving career.
The lead single from “Man’s Best Friend,” a track titled “Manchild,” was released on June 5, 2025, and immediately made a splash, debuting at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This marks Carpenter’s first single to debut at the top spot and her second overall number-one hit on the prestigious chart. However, the album’s reveal has not been without its talking points. The cover art for “Man’s Best Friend,” which depicts Carpenter on her hands and knees with an out-of-frame man grabbing her hair while she “paws” at his leg, has sparked considerable debate among critics and fans, with some finding it degrading to women and others interpreting it as provocative and satirical.
The upcoming album follows the monumental success of her sixth studio album, “Short n’ Sweet,” released in 2024. “Short n’ Sweet” debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, solidifying Carpenter’s status as a global pop force. The album spawned a string of massively successful singles, including “Espresso,” “Please Please Please,” and “Taste,” all of which soared into the top three of the US Billboard Hot 100. “Espresso” notably topped the Billboard Global 200 and was recognized with the MTV Video Music Award for Song of the Year in 2024. It also became the second most streamed song of 2024 on Spotify, accumulating an impressive 1.6 billion streams. “Please Please Please” marked Carpenter’s first US Hot 100 number-one single, while “Taste” debuted at number two.
Carpenter’s recent achievements have also seen her break multiple chart records. She became the first female artist to hold the number one and two positions on the UK singles chart for three consecutive weeks. Furthermore, she made history as the first act since The Beatles to chart her first three top-five hits within a single week. Her single “Taste” became the longest-running UK number one of 2024, contributing to Carpenter becoming the first artist in 71 years to spend 20 weeks atop the UK singles chart in a calendar year. At the 67th Annual Grammy Awards in 2025, “Short n’ Sweet” won Best Pop Vocal Album, and “Espresso” took home the award for Best Pop Solo Performance, further cementing her critical and commercial success.
Beyond her chart-topping music, Carpenter has expanded her influence across various ventures. She served as a highly popular opening act for Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” throughout 2023 and 2024, gaining significant exposure to a global audience. Her collaborations extend to major brands, including a festive partnership with Dunkin’ Donuts in December 2024 for “Sabrina’s Brown Sugar Shakin’ Espresso,” and a significant integration into the gaming world with her titular skin becoming the main theme of Fortnite Festival Season 8 in April 2025. In December 2024, she also starred in and produced the Netflix holiday special, “A Nonsense Christmas with Sabrina Carpenter,” featuring duets with artists like Chappell Roan, Tyla, and Shania Twain.
Carpenter has also demonstrated a strong commitment to philanthropy. Through her partnership with the nonprofit PLUS1 on the “Short n’ Sweet Tour,” she established the Sabrina Carpenter Fund, which supports mental health, animal welfare, and the LGBTQ+ community. The fund achieved a remarkable milestone, reaching $1 million faster than any other artist partnered with PLUS1. Her collaboration with HeadCount for the 2024 United States presidential election also resulted in more voter engagements than any other artist that year. As “Man’s Best Friend” approaches its release, Sabrina Carpenter continues to prove her versatility and impact, both as a musical artist and a cultural figure.
