Sabrina Carpenter has fans buzzing about her highly anticipated seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend. The LP arrives in just over a month—on August 29—and follows the global success of Short n’ Sweet, released only a year ago. So far, Sabrina has unveiled only “Manchild” as the lead single, though another track is expected to drop before the album’s launch.

The rollout for Man’s Best Friend is definitely one of a kind. Rather than revealing the full tracklist all at once, Sabrina recruited fans to help announce one song per day.

Starting in late July, she began sharing song titles through Instagram and X posts featuring fans and golden retriever puppies. Each post introduced a new song daily, playing into the album’s canine-themed title. She began with track 12—the album’s closer, titled “Goodbye”—and is working her way up to track 1. Below is the updated tracklist for Man’s Best Friend, with new titles added as they’re revealed:

#1 Manchild 

#2 Tears

#3 My Man On Willpower

#4 Sugar Talking

#5 We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night

#6 Nobody’s Son

#7 Never Getting Laid

#8 When Did You Get Hot?

#9 Go Go Juice

#10 Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry

#11 House Tour

#12 Goodbye

Over the past few weeks, Sabrina has also unveiled three different versions of the album’s artwork. The primary cover features Carpenter kneeling in a short black dress as a cropped arm pulls her hair—an intentionally provocative image. The artwork sparked widespread debate, with some critics calling it misogynistic and others defending it as satirical commentary on the male gaze.

Shortly after, she revealed an alternate “approved by God” cover, which shows her embracing a man, followed by a third version featuring Sabrina surrounded by flower pots.

As mentioned earlier, the album’s lead single, “Manchild,” dropped in early June. A synth-pop track with country influences and disco energy, it was co-written with Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen. The song quickly hit No. 1 in the U.S. and U.K., while breaking into the Top 10 or Top 20 in several other countries.
