Sabrina Carpenter is making waves once again, having officially announced her highly anticipated new album, “Man’s Best Friend,” set to drop on August 29th via Island Records.
The news, which broke on Wednesday, June 11th, has exploded across social media, with the initial announcement post garnering over 50 million views on platforms like Pop Base, indicating massive excitement among her global fanbase.
The “Espresso” hitmaker herself confirmed the album’s title and release date on Instagram, writing, “My new album, ‘Man’s Best Friend’ is out on August 29, 2025. i can’t wait for it to be yours x Pre-order now.”
Carpenter gave fans an early peek at the album during a relaxed Instagram Live session, where she casually flipped through classic vinyls by icons like Donna Summer, ABBA, and Dolly Parton before revealing her own. During the session, she played the album on a turntable, giving fans their first look at the striking cover art that has since gone viral.
The album’s artwork features Carpenter on her hands and knees in a black mini-dress and heels, with an unidentified man’s hand grabbing a fistful of her blonde curls. This bold imagery, combined with the album title, has ignited considerable discussion and speculation among fans about the themes and sound of her seventh studio album. Some have praised its provocative nature, while others have debated its potentially degrading implications.
“Man’s Best Friend” follows swiftly on the heels of Carpenter’s successful 2024 LP, “Short n’ Sweet,” which topped charts and earned her six Grammy nominations. The lead single from the new album, “Manchild,” released just last week, has already soared to No. 1 on both the Spotify U.S. and Spotify Global charts, hinting at the album’s potential to dominate the summer airwaves.
Carpenter, who recently performed “Manchild” live at Primavera Sound in Barcelona, is set for a busy summer with upcoming shows at London’s Hyde Park, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits.
With “Man’s Best Friend” on the horizon, Sabrina Carpenter is once again proving her fearless artistic vision and keeping us all on the edge of our seats.
