Sabrina Carpenter’s Go Go Juice reportedly references past relationships

Following the release of the popstar's seventh studio album Man’s Best Friend on September 3, 2025, fans speculated that Sabrina Carpenter’s track Go Go Juice, references several of her famous exes.

According to Cosmopolitan on September 3, 2025, some lyrics allude to Shawn Mendes, Barry Keoghan, and Dylan O’Brien, with the word "gosh" possibly nodding to rumored ex Joshua Bassett.

According to Cosmopolitan, Carpenter’s dating history includes several high-profile relationships over the past decade. It reportedly began with Bradley Steven Perry in 2014, who once shared that she was “way too good” for him during a later podcast appearance.

She was then linked to Tall Girl co-star Griffin Gluck in 2019 before sparking rumors with Joshua Bassett in 2020. That rumored relationship coincided with the Drivers License controversy involving Olivia Rodrigo, which Carpenter later addressed through her song Skin, though she denied it was about Rodrigo.

Most recently, she dated actor Barry Keoghan between December 2023 and December 2024, with the two attending events like the Met Gala and collaborating on her Please Please Please music video before parting ways, reportedly due to busy schedules.
