US pop star Sabrina Carpenter has announced she will be releasing a new album called Man’s Best Friend later in the summer.
It comes after the 26-year-old singer from Pennsylvania released a new single titled Manchild last week.
The record is to be released a year and a week after she dropped her chart-topping sixth studio album Short N’ Sweet, which contains the number one hits Espresso, Taste and Please, Please, Please.
In a message to fans, she said: "My new album Man’s Best Friend releases Aug 29 I didn’t plan on releasing a new record however when inspiration strikes, I go to the studio, and when it doesn’t, I still go to the studio.
"But luckily life was really happening to me and inspiration struck!

"I tried not to overthink the process this time, I felt so at ease making Man’s Best Friend that I felt like it was a gift that shouldn’t be taken for granted as every inch came together so effortlessly, different from my other previous projects where I’d bang my head to crack numerous codes.
"This one felt like riding a bike! I went back to some of my favourite artists growing up listening to a lot of Stevie, Dolly, Donna etc and was surprised to find so many of those artists I loved put out a new record every year for a long time.
"Can’t say that is or will be the norm for me but this time it really eased my mind about putting something out when it feels right!"
Carpenter's single Espresso reached No 1 on the Irish singles charts last year, marking her first-ever chart topper in Ireland. She followed that with Please, Please, Please and Taste, both of which also hit the top spot.
On the albums front, Capenter's sixth studio album, Short n' Sweet, also claimed the No 1 spot when it was released in August 2024 and has logged over 20 weeks at No 1 to date.
Her music videos have seen appearances from a number of famous faces, including Irish actor Barry Keoghan in Please, Please, Please.
The Saltburn actor was romantically linked to Carpenter in late 2023, but they were reported to have split late last year.
Man’s Best Friend will be released on 29 August.
