Less than a year after the release of her album, “Short ‘n Sweet,” pop star Sabrina Carpenter announced plans to release her seventh studio album, “Man’s Best Friend.” The album was preceded with the release of the first track, single “Manchild” on June 5. The album in its entirety was released Aug. 29.

The album features 12 pop tracks from energetic track nine “Go Go Juice” to slower track ten “Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry.”

1. “Manchild”
Rating: 7/10
Favorite Line: “I swear they choose me, I’m not choosing them”
Manchild is the perfect first track to set the tone for the rest of “Man’s Best Friend.” Like the title of the song alludes, it’s not a love song, but it’s not a break up song, either. The song reflects on past relationships in an energetic way.

2. “Tears”
Rating: 9/10
Favorite Line: “A little respect for women can get you very, very far / Remembering how to use your phone gets me oh so, oh so, oh so hot.”
I loved “Tears” when I first listened to it, but it was ultimately overshadowed by the rest of the songs on the album. Carpenter’s performance of the song on the VMAs; however, drew my attention back to it. It’s upbeat, catchy and has lyrics that are relatable to many. The “dance break” part toward the end of the song is the cherry on top.

3. “My Man on Willpower”
Rating: 10/10
Favorite Line: “He used to be literally obsessed with me / I’m suddenly the least sought after girl in the land.”
“My Man on Willpower” was my immediate favorite song on the album. It’s a reflection on the drifting apart of relationships that I find myself all too familiar with, and the way that the song flows together draws me to it even more. It’s one of the more lyrically dense songs of the album, and this allows it to tell the story of a whole relationship. It’s a more playful, energetic song–the kind where the singer’s smile can be heard. Yes, it’s reflecting on the less happy part of a relationship, but it does so in a way that allows for reflection and realization while appreciating the good parts of the relationship.

4. “Sugar Talking”
Rating: 7/10
Favorite Line: “It’s your seventh last chance, honey”
“Sugar Talking” is one of the more romantic-ish songs from “Man’s Best Friend,” and it’s also one of the slower ones. It’s fairly repetitive at times, and it isn’t one that stuck out to me immediately. It took me a few listens throughout the album before I could recognize the song, but it’s one I have ultimately come to enjoy.

5. “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night”
Rating: 8/10
Favorite Line: “Big deal, we’ve been here before / And we’ll be here tomorrow”
I love “We Almost Broke Up Last Night” so much. Of the slow slower songs on the album, it’s definitely my favorite, and it’s one of my favorites on the whole album. It tells the story of an off and on relationship and ultimately was released at a perfect time for me as far as relatability. Some relationships don’t really have one thing that ends them; people just drift slowly drift apart. The exhale at the end of the song really brings it all together, and I love it so much.

6. “Nobody’s Son”
Rating: 9/10
Favorite Line: “All my friends in love and I’m the one / they call for a third wheeling”
The transition from “We Almost Broke Up Last Night” to “Nobody’s Son” is one that flows really well. Even though “Nobody’s Son” is more upbeat, it starts slower and builds. It depicts the in-between stage of relationships and feeling like the only single person of a friend group and the frustration that comes with talking to someone who won’t do anything to create an actual relationship.

7. “Never Getting Laid”
Rating: 8/10
Favorite Line: “At the end of the rainbow / I hope you find / A good whole lot of nothing”
“Never Getting Laid” is another song that I didn’t notice upon first listen but have come to love. It made me realize that I’m honestly approaching my dislike for certain people wrong. It’s also so mellifluous despite its simplicity. It’s not overproduced, and that really adds to the atmosphere created.

8. “When Did You Get Hot?”
Rating: 10/10
Favorite Line: “Sorry I did not see the vision / Thank the Lord the fine you has risen”
“When Did You Get Hot?” is such a fun song that I can’t help but love it. The lyrics, the way that they’re sung and the music all fit together so well, and it was an instant favorite of mine. There are different references sprinkled throughout the song that could be missed, and I’ve probably missed some myself. The ones I have caught onto are genuinely placed and make listening to the song an even more fun experience.

9. “Go Go Juice”
Rating: 10/10
Favorite Line: “Could be John or Larry, gosh, who’s to say? / Or the one that rhymes with ‘villian’ if I’m feeling that way”
“Go Go Juice” is probably my favorite song off of “Man’s Best Friend” overall. It’s upbeat with parts that vary in tempo–some faster and some slower than others–and altogether catchy. Every time I listen to it, I can’t help but want to sing along.

10. “Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry”
Rating: 9/10
Favorite Line: “I’ll make you worry like no other girl can”
Off all of the tracks, “Don’t worry I’ll Make You Worry” is my favorite to sing. The way the vocals are able to move between higher and lower notes so seamlessly is what gives it a lot of its audial appeal. Like many of the other tracks on the album, “Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry,” tells a story of a relationship where there is uncertainty in both parties about the relationship’s future. It’s one that I enjoyed on my first listen, but have come to appreciate much more since then.

11. “House Tour”
Rating: 8/10
Favorite Line: “My house is on pretty girl avenue”
I can’t pinpoint the reason, but “House Tour” has a very Barbie-esque feeling. It’s bubbly and energetic for its whole duration and overall optimistic. It’s one of the more dance-able tracks of the album and leaves listeners in a good mood after every listen.

12. “Goodbye”
Rating: 9/10
Favorite Line: “Goodbye means that you’re losing me for life”
Ending “Man’s Best Friend” with “Goodbye” was the best choice that could have been made for the arrangement of the album’s tracks. The track’s title aside, it’s one that directly says the relationship in the song is over. Some of the other tracks are break-up songs, but all of them leave the relationship open-ended or allude to the impending end, but don’t really offer the relationship a conclusion. It’s repetitive of the chorus, but not in a way that lacks creativity, rather one that gets across the point that the relationship is over and won’t be revisited.
