Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter has made a spectacular comeback. Fans are grooving on her brand-new album, "Man's Best Friend," which was released on 29th August.

Her previous work was softer and more gentle, but this new album highlights her bold and self-assured side. Her voice has more edge, and the lyrics go deeper into themes of love, heartbreak, and self-worth. Inspired by celebrities such as Dolly Parton, Donna Summer, and Stevie Nicks, she compared the experience to "riding a bike."

'Tears'—A Sexy, Satirical Standout

Simultaneously released within the album was 'Tears,' a glittering disco-pop romp about being unexpectedly turned on by someone's nice gestures. It's the type of tune that captivates with both wit and rhythm. "I get wet at the thought of you being a responsible guy," one of the song's lyrics, turns civil behavior into stimulating desire. The accompanying video is a dramatic treat: Bewildered after a vehicle accident, Carpenter stumbles into a spooky house filled with drag performers. Colman Domingo looks amazing in drag, evoking the spirit of 'Rocky Horror' as Carpenter navigates between pole-dance routines and mirrors.

In a recent interview, Sabrina shared that "Man's Best Friend" is her most personal album yet. "I wanted to write songs that felt real to me," she said. "Even when the topics are tough, there's still some fun in it. That's who I am."

Set to Slay the VMAs Stage

Carpenter's artistry extends far beyond the recording studio—she's set to bring her dynamic presence to the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards with a live performance of her hit single 'Manchild.' Adding to the excitement, she'll also pay tribute to Dolly Parton's iconic 1980 film 'Nine to Five.'
