The playtime for Man’s Best Friend continues. On Thursday (Sept. 4), Sabrina Carpenter revealed she is releasing a digital bonus track titled “Such a Funny Way” as a follow-up to her latest album.
Posting a glamorous photo of herself looking somber while speaking on the phone, the pop star told fans on social media that she had “a little surprise for you.”
“‘Such a Funny Way’ is a song i am so proud of,” she said. “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 offered on Carpenter’s website, “Such a Funny Way” can be downloaded alongside the Man’s Best Friend album for $7.99. Before this, it was only accessible on the vinyl deluxe edition of Man’s Best Friend, which was released Aug. 29.
This announcement follows the Grammy winner’s recent explanation of the inspiration behind “Such a Funny Way” during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. She explained, “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 added that she has faced challenges in relationships when people said, “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. “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 the Billboard Hot 100 number one hit “Manchild,” Man’s Best Friend is 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.
