The music video for Sabrina Carpenter's new song, "Manchild," is here.
In the new video for the song, which was released Thursday and features an '80s pop sound with a hint of country, the Grammy winner hitchhikes across the country with one disastrous man after another -- a metaphor for going from bad relationship to bad relationship.
The surreal clip finds Carpenter catching rides with multiple men, some of whom are driving impossible vehicles, such as a jet ski and an armchair, both with wheels; a motorcycle with a supermarket shopping cart bolted to the side; and a truck with a tree growing out of the roof.
Sabrina Carpenter to release new song 'Manchild' later this week
She also swims with sharks in a pool, takes a bath with some adorable pigs, runs from a shotgun-toting man and then takes aim with her own machine gun.
At the end of the video, she gets out of a car and immediately flags down another that pulls up next to her. She gets into that one and drives away.
In the song, Carpenter goes on to dismiss a man for being dumb, before admitting, "I like my boys playing hard to get / and I like my men all incompetent."

On Instagram, Carpenter explained, "I wrote manchild on a random tuesday with amy and jack ... and it ended up being the best random tuesday of my life."

She went on to describe the song as "something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life."
"It sounds like the song embodiment of a loving eye roll and it feels like a never-ending road trip in the summer!" she added, noting that she's releasing the song now "so you can stick your head out the car window and scream it all summer long."
"Thank you always and forever for listening and thank you men for testing me!!" she wrote.
It's not clear if "Manchild" is a standalone single or the first release from a new album, but either way, Carpenter will likely give it its live premiere when she performs Saturday at Primavera Sound in Barcelona.
