Sabrina Carpenter has a “little surprise” for her fans, unveiling an additional track from her new album, Man’s Best Friend.
The catch? It’s not available on streaming. Right now, Such A Funny Way is only available via digital download.
The Espresso singer shared the news of a surprise new song on social media, where she wrote: “a little surprise for you… 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 Mans Best Friend in another universe!
“i didn’t want you to wait too long to have it and get to know it. it’s available for digital download now.”
Such A Funny Way is currently available for digital download—only in the US—along with a copy of Man’s Best Friend on Sabrina Carpenter’s webstore.
Upon releasing the album last week (29 August), Carpenter stated that her new songs are “not for pearl clutchers.”

“The album is not for any pearl clutchers,” she told CBS Mornings presenter Gayle King. “But I also think that even pearl clutchers can listen to an album like that in their own solitude and find something that makes them smirk and chuckle to themselves.”
Responding to the description of her songs as sexual, but also “powerful” and “vulnerable,” Carpenter concurred, “I think that’s the thing, is sometimes people hear the lyrics that are really bold or they go, ‘I don’t want to sing this in front of other people.’”
She added, “It’s like it’s almost too TMI. But I think about being at a concert with however many young women I see in the front row that are screaming at the top of their lungs with their best friends, and you can go like, ‘Oh, we can all sigh [in] relief like, ‘This is just fun.’ And that’s all it has to be.”
Carpenter has openly defended the sexualised nature of her lyrics in the past. In a June cover story with Rolling Stone, the singer said, “It’s always so funny to me when people complain… like, ‘All she does is sing about this.’”
She continued, “But those are the songs that you’ve made popular. Clearly, you love sex. You’re obsessed with it. It’s in my show. There’s so many more moments than the ‘Juno’ positions, but those are the ones you post every night and comment on. I can’t control that.”
