Sabrina Carpenter: Why is it not about Keoghan in “Mandild”

The speculation was great, but the truth is different: Sabrina Carpenters (26) New single “Manchild” definitely does not act on her ex-boyfriend Barry Keoghan (32). A single line of text cleans up the fan theories and at the same time reveals why the assumptions were so far.

Since the publication on Thursday, fans are puzzling about the true meaning of the song. The clear title and the biting lyrics about an immature man immediately let many think of the Irish actor, with which Carpenter was lined up with December 2024. However, there are crucial evidence that refute this theory.

In the second stanza, Carpenter sings: “Why so sexy, if so stupid? And how do you survive on earth for so long? If I’m not there, nothing will be done. I blame your mother.” It is precisely this line about the mother that makes it extremely unlikely that the Keoghan song will act.

The reason is tragic: Keoghan’s mother died of a heroin overdose when he was only twelve years old. The actor recently spoke very openly about his own fights with the addiction and how it was to lose his mother at such a young age. It is very unlikely that Carpenter would use this personal tragedy in a song in this way.

Another argument against Keoghan theory provides the history of the song. Like Carpenter with one, she wrote “Manchild” “on a accidental Tuesday with Amy and Jack, not long after the completion of ‘Short n’ Sweet ‘”. At that time she was still with Keoghan – the song can therefore be impossible to settle with her failed relationship.

Carpenter himself describes the song poetically as a “mental assembly of the very confusing and funny young adult years”. He embodies “a loving eye roll” and feels like “like a never -ending road trip in summer”.

Despite the knowledge of the true history of origin, Carpenter’s Instagram post continues to provide discussions. “Thank you men to test me !!”, she wrote mischievously when the song came out. The song about the childish man who robs her her last nerve seems to have come from real experiences with men – just not with Keoghan.

Your fans are enthusiastic about the new music. One commented, for example: “Sabrina writes better diss tracks than rappers.” Others praise the clever text that connects sweet melodies with the snappy message. Apparently immature men are an issue with which many young women can identify.

The universal message of the song was reinforced on Friday. Carpenter tramps over the American country and meets various incompetent men until the entire video sinks into chaos.

“Hey men !! The Manchild music video is now outside. No animals were injured in production, but some men were already”, ”
