Sabrina Carpenter spills secrets of Barry Keoghan
breakup in new albumSabrina Carpenter appeared to reveal details of her split
from Barry Keoghan through her new album Man's Best Friend. The release quickly
sparked speculation among fans who believed several songs on the project were...
Sabrina Carpenter’s latest album, Man’s Best Friend,
is being praised as both brutally honest and wryly humorous—a breakup diary
wrapped in candy-coated pop. Released on August 29, the 12-track project has
fans convinced Sabrina is narrating the end of her relationship with actor
Barry Keoghan, using sharp lyricism and cryptic references to share her
heartbreak without naming names. People.comPitchfork
The final song, “Goodbye,” is particularly emotional.
Sabrina belts out: “Broke my heart on Saturday… I have cried so much I almost
fainted.” Fans immediately interpreted this as a heart-wrenching confession
that Keoghan pulled the plug on their romance. The chorus thickens the
implication: “…you’re losing me for life… Did you forget it was you who said
goodbye?” The SunThe News International
Other tracks add layers of emotional subtext. In “Never
Getting Laid,” she hints at partners with wandering eyes; “Go Go Juice”
includes a sly reference to “the one that rhymes with villain,” a
playful nod to Keoghan’s name. Geo NewsLOS40 Sabrina also shared
in a CBS Mornings interview that she prefers leaving lyrics open to
interpretation—it’s more fun for listeners to imagine their own stories. E! Online
Then there's “My Man on Willpower,” described as the
album’s secret weapon. Carla Carpenter uses biting humor to address a partner
consumed by self-growth and emotional distance. Lines like “He fell in love
with self-restraint… doesn’t have time for me” capture disillusionment
disguised as wit. Even if it’s not explicitly about Keoghan, the emotional
resonance feels deeply personal. VulturePitchfork
With its blend of vulnerability and sharp humor, Man’s
Best Friend sees Sabrina stepping into a more mature songwriting era. Her
influences, ranging from Euro-pop to 70s balladry, come alive through live
instrumentation, helping her emotional honesty land with full effect. Pitchfork
Fans and critics recognize the album as a turning
point—Carpenter has evolved from pop ingenue to a songwriter unafraid to
explore the messy truths of love. In her words, this isn’t just a record—it’s a
candid snapshot of an emotional timeline that’s unapologetically hers. People.comEW.com
