Carpenter's Instagram truly set the stage for the song's realization, with her sharing the genesis of 'Manchild'.
"Scribbled 'Manchild' on a day off with my pals Amy and Jack, shortly after birthing 'Short n' Sweet'. Wow, best random Tuesday of my life if I might add!" Carpenter exclaimed, showering accolades upon Jack Antonoff and Amy Allen. Additionally, Antonoff co-produced the track.
"It wasn't just a blast to create this song, but it's become my anthem for reminiscing about the enigmatic whirlwind of young adulthood!" she continued, sharing her creative victories and emotional insights.
"This one's like the melodic incarnation of a witty side-eye. It's all about those never-ending summer adventures and heady times! So naturally, I figured I'd unveil it prior to your road-tripping escapades this season - just so you can roar it out of your car windows all summer long!"
She concluded with an overwhelming expression of gratitude to her supporters, fans, and some cheeky remarks aimed at the boys, presumably referencing the male folly her songs often target.
"Eternal and boundless thanks for rocking with me!" she gushed, followed by a humorous "And thanks to the dudes for challenging me!"
'Manchild' pays homage to her recent chart-toppers such as 'Please, Please, Please', with similar zest, sass, and pointed lyricism aimed at less-than-ideal partners.
The music video for 'Manchild' breaks day on Friday at 10 a.m. ET/7 a.m. PT.
