Overview

  • Sabrina Carpenter’s seventh studio album arrived Aug. 29 via Island Records with 12 tracks and a concurrently released 'Tears' video featuring Colman Domingo.
  • Carpenter defended the original cover showing her kneeling with a man gripping her hair, saying it reflects choosing when to be in or out of control.
  • Most songs carry explicit labels, and Carpenter said the project leans into bold, sexually frank humor that her fanbase embraces.
  • Complex is hosting release pop-ups Aug. 29–Sept. 1 in Los Angeles (433 N Fairfax Ave) and New York (152 Wooster St), open 11 a.m.–7 p.m. local time.
  • The set follows her Grammy-winning Short n’ Sweet, includes No. 1 lead single 'Manchild,' and credits producers including Jack Antonoff and John Ryan, with early reviews noting strong craft and wit.
