Sabrina Carpenter closes out the year with the sweetest holiday surprise — releasing “Man’s Best Friend (Bonus Track Edition)” on Christmas Eve, complete with a new lyric video and an emotional message of gratitude to her fans. The pop star turns the season of giving into a heartfelt celebration of music, humor, and connection
Sabrina Carpenter found the most beautiful way to end the year — by giving her fans a Christmas gift straight from the heart. On Christmas Eve, the 26-year-old pop star released Man’s Best Friend (Bonus Track Edition), a special version of her hit album that includes the long-awaited song “Such a Funny Way.” The track, which was previously exclusive to deluxe vinyl editions, now arrives on streaming platforms with a brand-new lyric video that captures both nostalgia and vulnerability.
In a touching Instagram post, Sabrina thanked her fans for their love and support throughout 2025, writing:
“Thank you for such a beautiful year… and for anyone who needs a little crashout song this Christmas, Man’s Best Friend – Bonus Track Edition with one of my favorite songs, Such a Funny Way, is out now. I love you all so much. Thank you for taking care of these songs like I do.”
The release is more than just a musical treat — it’s a reflection of Sabrina’s artistic growth during a landmark year. With Man’s Best Friend debuting at No.1 on the Billboard 200 last August, the singer solidified her position as one of pop’s most vibrant and dynamic voices, following the success of Short n’ Sweet in 2024.
Such a Funny Way perfectly encapsulates the essence of Sabrina’s songwriting — witty yet deeply emotional. In previous interviews, she revealed that humor often acts as a shield for her: “Humor is how I process my feelings — not always in the healthiest way, but it helps me survive them.” The song captures that delicate balance between laughter and heartbreak, with the line “So funny that I have to laugh just so I don’t cry” standing out as one of her most honest lyrics yet.
The accompanying lyric video amplifies that intimacy. With warm tones, handwritten-style text, and vintage animations, it feels like a private diary entry — one that invites listeners into Sabrina’s inner world. Within hours of release, the video gained thousands of views and an outpouring of emotional comments from fans, many calling it “the perfect holiday gift.”
Throughout 2025, Sabrina proved that she’s more than a rising star — she’s a full-fledged pop storyteller. From viral moments on stage to heartfelt interviews, she’s mastered the art of combining charm, wit, and sincerity. Whether joking around on Late Night with Seth Meyers or sharing behind-the-scenes details of her music videos, she consistently connects with audiences in a way that feels genuine and refreshing.
Ending the year with Man’s Best Friend (Bonus Track Edition) feels symbolic — a quiet, introspective moment amid all the glitter of fame. Rather than chasing another hit single, Sabrina chose to share something deeply personal, reminding fans that pop music isn’t just about energy and spectacle; it’s also about emotion, reflection, and truth.
As 2026 approaches, Sabrina Carpenter stands poised for yet another breakthrough. With her blend of humor, heart, and authenticity, she continues to redefine what modern pop can be — smart, relatable, and irresistibly human.
