Sabrina Carpenter has revealed the official music video for her new song, “Manchild.”
Directed by Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, the video takes place primarily on the road in the American west. It finds Carpenter hitchhiking and ending up in a variety of scenes and situations ranging from the mundane to the absurd, with dozens of different costumes and looks to match.

Throughout, Carpenter ends up in (or around) multiple different vehicles (like a jetski-converted car, an electric mobile chair, a shopping cart sidecar, and a car with trees growing on top), shoots pool with a shotgun, runs with a puppy from gunfire, smokes a cigarette at a gas station while her driver douses himself in gasoline, hitches a ride by roller skating and grabbing onto a massive truck, takes a bubble path with two pigs, and gets in all sorts of crazy spats with the men she encounters on the road. When it ends, she ditches her ride, sticks her thumb back up, and grabs the next available vehicle. Watch the official video below.

Carpenter’s “Manchild” arrives as a standalone single after the deluxe release of her 2024 album Short n’ Sweet arrived in February. The single is being pressed on a clear transparent 7-inch vinyl along with a B-side called “inside of your head when you’ve just won an argument with a man.” She teased both the single and its music video earlier this week, posting a short clip of her hitchhiking with the caption, “this one’s about you!!”
Carpenter is also heading on tour this summer and fall, with headlining sets to come at Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and this weekend’s Primavera Sound. Get tickets to see Sabrina Carpenter here.
