Sabrina Carpenter isn’t done with Man’s Best Friend yet. Just a week after the album’s release, the pop star treated fans to a fresh bonus track, “Such a Funny Way,” now available for digital download.
Posting a stylish, contemplative photo on social media—Sabrina holding a phone with a hint of a grin—she shared the exciting news: “Such a Funny Way is a song I am so proud of. The sentiment is one I always thought could really be the end of Man’s Best Friend in another universe! I didn’t want you to wait too long to have it and get to know it.”
Originally exclusive to the deluxe vinyl edition of Man’s Best Friend, the track is now downloadable directly from Carpenter’s website for $7.99, and fans can grab it alongside the full album.
In a recent Apple Music 1 interview with Zane Lowe, Sabrina revealed the deeper meaning behind the track. Humor, she explained, isn’t just for laughs—it’s a coping mechanism. “I’ve had trouble in relationships before because people have been like, ‘Be serious.’ Sometimes it feels less mean or hurtful to just laugh, even if it’s masking something bigger.” She continued, emphasizing that the song wraps the album perfectly with its poignant lyric: “So funny that I have to laugh just so I don’t cry.”
Man’s Best Friend, led by the Billboard Hot 100 hit “Manchild,” is Carpenter’s seventh studio album, following her chart-topping LP Short n’ Sweet, which spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last year.
Fans are already buzzing online about the bonus track, with many praising Sabrina for sharing a piece of her heart that’s both playful and deeply relatable. If you’re a fan of her storytelling, “Such a Funny Way” is the perfect addition to your playlist.
