KORAN INDONESIA – Sabrina Carpenter merilis lagu barunya yang berjudul Manchild pada Jumat (6/6/2025). Lagu ini punya nuansa pop tahun 80-an dengan sedikit sentuhan musik country.
Lewat lagu Manchild, Sabrina mengungkap rasa kesalnya pada tipe pria yang selalu muncul saat dia sedang rapuh. Dalam liriknya, dia menggambarkan mereka sebagai sosok yang bodoh, lambat, dan nggak berguna.
Menariknya, Sabrina juga menyindir dirinya sendiri yang terus jatuh cinta pada tipe pria seperti itu. Ia menyiratkan bahwa mereka yang memilih dia duluan, bukan sebaliknya.
Liriknya penuh sindiran tapi tetap catchy dan enak dinyanyikan. Berikut lirik lengkapnya:
Sabrina Carpenter – Manchild
[Intro]
Oh, boy
[Verse 1]
You said your phone was broken, just forgot to charge it
Whole outfit you’re wearing, God, I hope it’s ironic
Did you just say you’re finished? Didn’t know we started
It’s all just so familiar, baby, what do you call it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Stupid
Or is it slow?
Maybe it’s useless
But there’s a cuter word for it, I know
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won’t you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain’t there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my loving from me?
[Verse 2]
Why so sexy if so dumb?
And how survive the Earth so long?
If I’m not there, it won’t get done
I choose to blame your mom
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me?
Fuck my life
Won’t you let an innocent woman be?
Never heard of self-care
Half your brain just ain’t there
Man-child
Why you always come a-running, taking all my loving from me?
[Bridge]
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get
And I like my men all incompetent
And I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them
Amen, hey, men
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (Play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (Incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them (Not choosing them)
Amen (Amen), hey, men (Hey, men)
[Chorus]
Man-child
Why you always come a-running to me? (Always come a-running to me)
Fuck my life
Won’t you let an innocent woman be? (Amen)
[Outro]
Oh, I like my boys playing hard to get (Play hard to get)
And I like my men all incompetent (Incompetent)
And I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them (Not choosing them)
Amen (Amen), hey, men (Hey, men)
