Simultaneously, the vinyl version of the single features a snippet of lyrics. They say, “Within your mind after winning an argument with a man.

After unveiling the poster and trailer, enthusiasts flocked to the related Instagram post’s comment area, hypothesizing that the song “Manchild” might be referring to Barry Keoghan. One ardent fan even penned, “GET HIM SAB.

Furthermore, one fan expressed gratitude by saying, “Barry deserves a heartfelt thank you for creating the hit of the summer.” Another user excitedly exclaimed, “Let’s pull him along, we’re eager!” Lastly, a fan suggested that Keoghan is worthy of the song since he disregarded Carpenter when she composed “Please, Please, Please.

Sabrina Carpenter and Barry Keoghan called off their year-long relationship in December 2024. According to sources close to them, reported by People, the singer and the rising actor mutually decided to take some time apart because they are both young and heavily invested in their respective careers.

After their split, Keoghan chose to disable his Instagram account. In a post on Twitter, he shared his reasons, mentioning that his name was unfairly tarnished online in ways he usually ignored. Keoghan further expressed that boundaries were overstepped, and the intense scrutiny was preventing him from focusing on his family and professional commitments.

At this point, it’s still unclear if Sabrina Carpenter has spoken up about the interpretation of her newest song being related to her past relationship.
