I thought they said she hates men

Meanwhile, others were seemingly unimpressed by what appears to be the album's cover art. In the picture, Sabrina Carpenter is dressed in a black dress and matching heels, and kneels on the floor in a dog-like position, with an anonymous man standing next to her, grabbing her hair.

The second picture in her post is a zoomed-in image of a furry dog's collar, with a golden heart-shaped pendant hanging from the belt and "Man's Best Friend" engraved on it.

Sounds cute until you realize she’s probably dragging every man who thought he was more than a placeholder.

When is she finally going to drop the whole sex-obsessed act? It’s getting old.

Sabrina's new album already has a Spotify countdown page, with 12 tracks listed on it, and the first one revealed as her recently released song, Manchild.

She dropped the new single last week, on June 5, with its music video dropping on YouTube a day later (on Friday, June 6). It has since received more than 18 million views and 818K thumbs-up on the video platform.
