Overview

• Carpenter teased “Manchild” earlier this week with a Daisy Dukes hitchhiking clip on social media and mysterious billboard ads.
• She co-wrote the track with frequent collaborator Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff during a “random Tuesday” session after finishing her album Short n’ Sweet.
• The 7-inch vinyl release pairs “Manchild” with a B-side titled “inside of your head when you’ve just won an argument with a man.”
• Carpenter earned two Grammy Awards this year for Best Pop Vocal Album and Best Pop Solo Performance and performed an Antonoff-produced medley at the ceremony.
• Following Friday’s video premiere, she will embark on a summer festival run including London’s Hyde Park, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits before resuming her North American tour in the fall.
