If there is a woman with comedic and sharp wit to question the toxic behaviors of machismo, she is 1.52 cm tall and has just released a new single. ‘Manchild’ by Sabrina Carpenter It is the most unexpected release of the summer, since her sixth studio album has not been alive for even a year, but all of us women are extremely grateful that it coincidentally occurred to her to compose a song with the frequency of synth pop and its iconic sarcastic melodies, about the pandemic of “useless, immature and incompetent” men that still remains without a cure.
«I wrote ‘Manchild’ on a random Tuesday with Amy and Jack, shortly after finishing ‘Short n’ Sweet,’ and it ended up being the best Tuesday of my life. Not only was it a ton of fun to write, but this song became something I can remember and that will set the tone for the confusing and fun years of youth. Sounds like the embodiment of a look of loving disapprovaland it feels like an endless road trip in the middle of summer! That’s why I wanted to share it now, so you can stick your head out the window and scream all summer long. «Thank you always for listening, and thank you, men, for testing me!» wrote the artist on Instagram.
She has the extraordinary power to take misfortunes with humor, and while it’s great to have a fun track with which vent the frustration of making bad partner choiceswe also hear important insights that we can use as a guide to refine the criteria with which we decide who to dedicate our time and energy to, especially as women.
Lyrics to ‘Manchild’ by Sabrina Carpenter
You said your cell phone was broken, you just forgot to charge it
That whole outfit you’re wearing, God, I hope it’s in an ironic way.
Did you just say we’re done? I didn’t even know we had started
This all sounds so familiar, honey, what would you call it?
Idiot
Or maybe slow?
Maybe useless
But there’s a better word for that, I know
Immature, why do you always come running to me?
Damn, can’t you leave an innocent woman alone?
You never heard of self-care
Half your brain isn’t even there
Immature, why do you always come running, stealing all my love?
Why are you so sexy if you’re so dumb?
And how have you survived on Earth for so long?
If I’m not there, it just won’t get done.
I decide to blame your mom
Immature, why do you always come running to me?
Damn, can’t you leave an innocent woman alone?
You never heard of self-care
Half your brain isn’t even there
Immature, why do you always come running, stealing all my love?
