After months of teasing, a little controversy, and a few alternate album covers ("approved by God"), Sabrina Carpenter's seventh album, Man's Best Friend is finally out.
And, as promised by the singer (and former Cosmo cover girl) herself, it's "not for the pearl clutchers." Across 12 tracks, Sabrina and her trademark tongue-in-cheek wit get into horniness (obvs) and sexual frustration, rocky relationships and shitty breakups, and the phenomenon of men treating women like dogs—while spectacularly fumbling the bag.
It's a classique Sabrina record, meaning there's lots of funny, cutting, and relatable lyrics to unpack. So, as we all hunker down to spend the last summer weekend skipping around to Man's Best Friend, we thought we'd have a go at decoding some of the most scathing lyrics, themes, and dynamics on the album (FYI, we haven't analyzed every track).
To help out, Cosmo UK asked sex and relationships coach Lucy Rowett to shed some light on why people (in this context: straight men) do the things they do in dating—and to offer some advice for what to do if you, too, find yourself in these toxic dynamics. |
