Is Sabrina Carpenter's 'Manchild' about Barry Keoghan?
As it stands, Sabrina Carpenter is yet to confirm who or what 'Manchild' is about. However, based on the title and her split from Barry Keoghan, many fans have assumed that the song could relate to the breakup.
Not only that but fans have spotted that Sabrina's releasing 'Manchild' on the one year anniversary of 'Please Please Please' coming out. Of course, Barry starred in the 'Please Please Please' video and the song was about her asking her boyfriend not to "embarrass" her.
Could Sabrina be releasing 'Manchild' on the anniversary of 'Please Please Please' on purpose?
