Sabrina Carpenter Drops Christmas Eve Surprise: ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Bonus Track Edition
Los Angeles, CA – Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter surprised fans this Christmas Eve with a special release of “Man’s Best Friend (Bonus Track Version),” available now on streaming platforms. The release includes the previously shared track “Such a Funny Way,” accompanied by a brand new official lyric video.
“To thank you for such a beautiful year,” Carpenter shared on Instagram, “and to supply whoever needs a cathartic christmas crashout song… Man’s best friend bonus track edition with one of my favorites ‘Such a Funny Way’ is now officially available on streaming.” She also expressed gratitude for the support her music has received, and hinted at exciting things to come in 2025.
The release caps off a monumental year for the singer. Her sophomore album, “Man’s Best Friend,” debuted at Number One on the Billboard 200 chart in August and earned platinum certification just three months later. The album, which followed the success of her hit single “Espresso,” featured a provocative music video for the track “Tears” featuring Colman Domingo in drag.
Rolling Stone declared it the “Summer of Sabrina” earlier this year, featuring Carpenter on their cover and exploring the pressures of achieving breakout success. In the interview, Carpenter discussed the challenges of maintaining a love for her craft amidst increased scrutiny, but ultimately emphasized the importance of creating and performing for the pure joy of it.
