Down, Girl: Man’s Best Friend Unleashes Sabrina's Wildest Era Yet!
Pop's new top dog is officially off the leash. Sabrina Carpenter has never been one to play it safe, but on Man’s Best Friend she trades bubblegum innuendo for unapologetic bite and a flirty f**k you. These ten tracks prove she’s no longer just the internet’s 'Short n’ Sweet' darling — she’s a lyrical femme fatale with teeth bared...
Sabrina Carpenter’s Man’s Best Friend may masquerade as a cheeky, sex-positive pop record, but at its heart it’s a satire of the very systems that try to leash women in the first place.
The title itself flips a cliché - the idea of “man’s best friend”, the obedient, loyal and needy pet - and instead offers an album where being tied to a leash is the last thing on the agenda.
Carpenter sharpens her tongue against man-children, weaponises desire as agency, and spins breakup venom into something triumphant.
This is an artist who refuses to roll over for the industry's expectations, or for men who want her 'short n' sweet.'
It’s a reminder: patriarchy only thrives when women play nice and Carpenter refuses to heel.
