Forget Taylor’s engagement (for a sec), put aside TSIGP, and wake up, bestie, because Man’s Best Friend finally dropped.
Carpenters are already losing their minds over Sabrina’s new album and it’s being hailed as her most savage era yet. It’s playful, glittery, and packed with the kind of sharp one-liners only Sabrina could pull off.
But more than just the bops, fans are zeroing in on her lyrics, claiming she’s throwing pointed jabs at her exes throughout the record. From shady bars to cheeky metaphors, the pop star has basically turned heartbreak into high art — and Twitter (okay, X) is living for the drama.
The ‘Go Go Juice’ Call-Outs
The track causing the biggest buzz right now is Go Go Juice, where Sabrina sings:
“I’m just drinking to call someone / Ain’t nobody safe when I’m a little bit drunk / Could be John or Larry, gosh, who’s to say? / Or the one that rhymes with ‘villain’ if I’m feelin’ that way”
At first glance, the names seem random, but fans were quick to speculate that they’re sly stand-ins. “John” rhymes with Shawn (Mendes), “Larry” rhymes with Barry (Keoghan), and “villain” conveniently rhymes with Dylan (O’Brien).
Point taken: nobody’s safe when Sabrina’s got a mic and a little tequila.
Not the First Time She’s Gotten Shady
If the Barry shade sounds familiar, it’s because this isn’t Sabrina’s first round of cheeky references. Back in March, she subtly took a swipe at her ex during a Dublin performance of Please Please Please. Then she released Manchild and fans instantly tied the lyrics back to her then-boyfriend.
A Look Back at Sabrina’s Famous Flings
Of course, the speculation around Go Go Juice wouldn’t hit as hard without Sabrina’s high-profile dating history.
Sab and Dylan O’Brien were seen hanging out in 2022 and then she and Shawn Mendes were spotted together in early 2023, sparking romance rumors that fizzled fast. Most recently, the Espresso star and Barry Keoghan went public in 2024, attending events side by side before quietly splitting over cheating rumors.
Now, with Man’s Best Friend, it seems like Sabrina’s closing the book on those chapters, one brutally catchy lyric at a time. Drop your favorite lyric from the album in the comments below…
