Sabrina Carpenter opens up on the lyrics of her new album, Man's Best Friend

Sabrina Carpenter is known for lyrics filled with innuendos and quips, and her latest album reflects the same, as reported by Variety. A snippet of the singer's exclusive interview was uploaded on CBS Mornings' YouTube channel on August 28, 2025, where she spoke about the lyrics of Man's Best Friend.

Carpenter said:

“The album is not for any pearl clutchers. But I also think that even pearl clutchers can listen to an album like that in their own solitude and find something that makes them smirk and chuckle to themselves.”

She continued:

“Sometimes people hear the lyrics that are really bold, and they go, ‘I don’t want to sing this in front of other people.’ It’s like it’s almost too TMI. But I think about being at a concert with, you know, however many young women I see in the front row that are screaming at the top of their lungs with their best friends, and you can go like, ‘Oh, we can all sigh of relief, like, ‘This is just fun.’ And that’s all it has to be."

Man's Best Friend consists of 12 tracks and it is produced by Sabrina Carpenter, John Ryan, and Jack Antonoff.

Sabrina Carpenter on criticism against her 'Juno' positions

Along with her lyrics, Sabrina Carpenter has also faced criticism for her stage performances, especially for her 'Juno' positions. She shared her thoughts on this during an interview with Rolling Stone, published on June 12, 2025. She pointed out that people seem to have an issue with her doing it. The artist stated:

“It’s always so funny to me when people complain. They’re like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’ But those are the songs that you’ve made popular. Clearly you love s*x. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show. There’s so many more moments than the ‘Juno’ positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can’t control that."

The Espresso singer added:

"If you come to the show, you’ll [also] hear the ballads, you’ll hear the more introspective numbers."

Carpenter is currently on her Short n' Sweet Tour, supporting her sixth studio album with the same title. Short n' Sweet was released on August 23, 2024.
