Sabrina Carpenter<\/a> is not getting involved when it comes to the internet\u2019s obsession with the origin of her latest hit single.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Earlier this month, the US chart-topper sparked an internet frenzy<\/a> when she announced the release of a new song, Manchild, prompting near-immediate rumours on social media that it was inspired by her most famous ex, Barry Keoghan<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n This speculation only increased when Manchild finally came out, with lyrics admonishing an immature former beau<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dave Benett\/WireImage for Vanity Fair<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n During a wide-ranging new interview with Rolling Stone<\/a>, Sabrina was asked directly if any of her famous exes served as the inspo for the track.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cIt\u2019s about your dad,\u201d she quipped by way of response.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Elsewhere in the interview, Sabrina spoke about the interest in her personal life since her rise to global fame in the past year.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cWhen you get down the little rabbit hole is truly when people start commenting on you as a person or you physically,\u201d she explained. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cAll of those things that you\u2019re already thinking on a day-to-day basis. You don\u2019t need a stranger from Arkansas to remind you.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Of the things people write about her online and in the press, she claimed: \u201cYou\u2019re like, \u2018That didn\u2019t happen then. That did happen then. You\u2019re missing a few key details there\u2019. People underestimate how tricky it is to navigate being a young woman, having relationships, and then having a bunch of strangers have opinions on them.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cBecause surely, all of these people that are commenting, if they had the same microscope on their personal lives, I don\u2019t think they\u2019d be as eloquently spoken as me. I know it\u2019s a tale as old as time. It\u2019s just unfortunate that it\u2019s still a tale.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n Manchild is currently on course<\/a> to get Sabrina her fourth number one single in the UK, following the success of Espresso, Please Please Please and Taste in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n The song serves as the lead single from Sabrina\u2019s newly-announced album Man\u2019s Best Friend, the album cover for which has already raised plenty of eyebrows and led to plenty of online debate<\/a> since it was unveiled on Wednesday evening.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n![\"Barry](\"https:\/\/img.huffingtonpost.com\/asset\/684af50e140000e31f95ed03.jpg?ops=scalefit_720_noupscale&format=webp\"\/)
