SABRINA CARPENTER Reveals the Secrets Behind “Manchild” in New Vevo Footnotes

Pop superstar Sabrina Carpenter takes fans behind the scenes of her chart-topping hit “Manchild” in the latest installment of Vevo Footnotes. Alongside co-directors Vania Heymann and Gal Muggia, Carpenter breaks down the intricate creative vision for the music video, which was filmed over three scorching days and inspired by a blend of self-revelation, disco-era sensuality, and classic Americana. The episode reveals several personal touches, including the fact that Sabrina’s sister hand-stitched the jean shorts for her featured look, and provides insight into the “trailer-like” concept designed to provoke a timeless, cinematic feel. From the roadside breakdown to the high-stakes scene of a car driving off a cliff, Carpenter discusses the improvisational energy required to survive the heat and the challenge of editing down an abundance of vibrant footage. Fans are also treated to a deep dive into the video’s hidden easter eggs—some of which went unnoticed until after her latest album announcement—establishing “Manchild” as a meticulous masterclass in color, cinematography, and storytelling.
