Sabrina Carpenter is giving fans one last surprise before the release of her much-anticipated seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend. The pop sensation has officially unveiled the fourth and final alternate cover — and this time, it comes with an exclusive treat: a special bonus track.
In an Instagram post shared on Friday (Aug. 8), just three weeks before the album hits streaming platforms, Carpenter revealed the glamorous new artwork. The image captures her seated at an elegant dinner table in a dazzling blue gown, confidently holding court among five tuxedo-clad men.
“The final alternate cover for Man’s Best Friend features such a special bonus track called ‘Such A Funny Way’ — available only on vinyl,” the Grammy winner wrote. “Pre-order now, plus a limited number of signed vinyl.”
The singer also reminded fans that the wait is nearly over: “3 weeks left!!! Can’t wait for it to be yours x.”
A Visual Journey for the Album’s Rollout
The cover art has been an essential element of Man’s Best Friend’s promotional journey. When Carpenter first revealed the original — a provocative shot of her on all fours, held in place by a man gripping her hair — it ignited an online debate about whether the image was empowering or regressive for women, even sparking discussion on The View.
Since then, she has dropped several alternate versions, including a sleek black-and-white portrait of her leaning on a man’s shoulder, and a vibrant photo of her surrounded by lavish bouquets of flowers sent by admirers. Now, with all four covers available for purchase on her official website, fans can choose their favorite piece of this visual story.
Building Hype With Music Reveals
The unveiling of the final cover comes just days after Carpenter shared the official Man’s Best Friend tracklist. The album will feature 12 songs, including the Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Manchild.” Over the weekend, she performed the hit during her headlining set at Lollapalooza in Chicago, where she also surprised fans with a duet alongside Earth, Wind & Fire.
With striking visuals, a highly anticipated bonus track, and chart-topping music already making waves, Man’s Best Friend is shaping up to be one of Carpenter’s most memorable eras yet.
