Sabrina Carpenter Reveals ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Tracklist With a Puppy-Powered Twist
CHICAGO – Sabrina Carpenter is no stranger to playful rollouts, but her latest might be her most adorable yet. With her seventh studio album “Man’s Best Friend” set to drop on August 29 via Island Records, Carpenter enlisted the help of a golden retriever puppy — and a few lucky fans — to unveil her tracklist one post at a time.
A Tracklist Unleashed… One Pup Pic at a Time
Rather than dropping the entire song list in a press release, Carpenter is slowly teasing out her track titles with charming Instagram and Twitter reveals. Each announcement features a fan holding the now-famous golden retriever, accompanied by a caption that introduces a new song.
So far, the revealed tracks include:
- Track 8: “When Did You Get Hot?”
- Track 9: “Go Go Juice”
- Track 10: “Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry”
- Track 11: “House Tour”
- Track 12: “Goodbye”
Fan-favorite Mariah helped reveal “Goodbye” with a heartwarming photo, while Neriah joined in for “House Tour.” Both posts racked up hundreds of thousands of likes, and Carpenter even reposted fan reactions on X (formerly Twitter), encouraging fans to join the countdown.
Building Hype With Humor and Heart
This unique strategy not only fits the album’s dog-themed title but also aligns with Carpenter’s light-hearted brand and deeply engaged fanbase. Her blend of humor and authenticity has earned her over 5 million Instagram followers, and this rollout continues to blur the line between artist and audience in the best way possible.
One repost from @overdosedontun read, “omggg sabrina asked me to reveal track 11 ‘House Tour’ from Man’s Best Friend !!!” — showcasing just how interactive and viral this promotion has become.
Following the Success of ‘Short n’ Sweet’
“Man’s Best Friend” follows her 2024 chart-topper Short n’ Sweet, which held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 for four weeks. The album’s lead single, “Manchild,” was released on June 5 and debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, marking Carpenter’s second No. 1 hit.
The new LP will land almost exactly a year after Short n’ Sweet, signaling that Carpenter is staying consistent with high-quality releases and creative campaigns.
Collector’s Editions and Surreal Artwork
For fans eager to get their paws on the new album, pre-orders are already live. Among the formats is a limited-edition picture disc painted by Jacob Rochester, showing Carpenter in a surreal scene beside a suited figure — echoing the dreamy, offbeat tone that defines much of her recent visual style.
What’s Next Before the Drop?
With several tracks still under wraps, Carpenter is expected to continue the rollout in the coming days — likely with more four-legged appearances and fan shoutouts. If past reveals are any indication, this puppy-powered campaign could be one of the summer’s most heartwarming album launches.
