Sabrina Carpenter has released her brand new song “Manchild” and while fans expected the new single to be a savage roast of her ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan, there’s a lyric that seems to invalidate that theory.

The song begins with Sabrina laughing and saying “oh, boy,” but is Barry really that boy?

“Manchild” is expected to be the lead single off of Sabrina‘s upcoming seventh album, though she has not yet announced a new album.

Sabrina sings in the chorus, “Manchild, why you always come a-runnin’ to me? / F–k my life, won’t you let an insane woman be? / Never heard of self-care / Half your brain just ain’t there / Manchild, why you always come a-runnin’, takin’ all my lovin’ from me?”

There’s a lyric in the second verse that seems to shut down theories about Barry being the subject of the song.

Sabrina sings in verse two, “Why so sexy if so dumb? / And how survive the Earth so long /If I’m not there, it won’t get dumb / I choose to blame your mom.”

For those who don’t know, Barry‘s mom tragically died from heroin addiction when he was only 12 years old. He recently was very candid about his own battles with addiction and what it was like losing his mom at a young age.

It seems very unlikely that Sabrina would use Barry‘s tragedy in a song this way, seemingly shutting down theories that he’s the “Manchild” subject.

Sabrina has also revealed that she wrote the song “on a random tuesday with amy and jack not too long after finishing short n’ sweet and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life.” She was still dating Barry at this time, so this isn’t a breakup song about their relationship!
