"Manchild" is a song by American singer Sabrina Carpenter, released on June 5, 2025, through Island Records as the lead single from her seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend (2025). Co-written and co-produced by Carpenter and Jack Antonoff, with additional songwriting by Amy Allen, the track is a blend of country pop, bubblegum pop, pop rock, and synth-pop, featuring country influences and a disco-inspired energy. Lyrically, the song is a pointed critique of an ex-boyfriend, characterized by Carpenter as "stupid, slow, useless, and incompetent."
The song was a commercial success, reaching number-one in the United States, Ireland, and the United Kingdom, while peaking at number two on the Billboard Global 200. It further reached the top ten in markets including Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, and the top twenty across much of Europe and Southeast Asia. "Manchild" received critical acclaim and earned four nominations at the 68th Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year and Song of the Year.
