Sabrina Carpenter Drops ‘Man’s Best Friend’ Bonus Track That She’s ‘So Proud Of’

Playtime isn’t over yet for Man’s Best Friend. On Thursday (Sept. 4), Sabrina Carpenter announced that she’s following up her new album with the digital release of a bonus track called “Such a Funny Way.”

Sharing a glam photo of herself looking forlorn while talking on a phone, the pop star wrote to fans on socials that she had “a little surprise for you.”

“‘Such a Funny Way’ is a song i am so proud of,” she continued. “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. it’s available for digital download now.”

Now for sale on Carpenter’s website, “Such a Funny Way” can be downloaded along with the Man’s Best Friend album for $7.99. It was previously only available on the vinyl deluxe version of Man’s Best Friend, which dropped Aug. 29.

The news comes shortly after the Grammy winner opened up about the inspiration behind “Such a Funny Way” on Apple Music 1 with Zane Lowe. “I interpret humor, obviously, in a light way, but it’s also used to cover something and it’s used to definitely cope with things and not always in the best way,” she said of the track. “I’ve had trouble in relationships before because people have been like, ‘Be serious.’

“So much of the time it feels maybe less mean or hurtful or spiteful to be able to just laugh about it, and that’s a good thing sometimes and sometimes it’s a bad thing,” she continued at the time. “So yeah, that one isn’t on the original version of the album, but it ends the album with the lyrics, ‘So funny that I have to laugh just so I don’t cry.'”

Led by Billboard Hot 100-topping single “Manchild,” Man’s Best Friend marks Carpenter’s seventh album. It follows her breakthrough LP Short n’ Sweet, which spent four weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 last year.
