Imagine Sabrina Carpenter sitting you down with a coffee, spilling the tea about a guy who’s suddenly too “self-restrained” to notice her sparkle—that’s the vibe of “My Man on Willpower” from her latest seventh studio album Man’s Best Friend, released on Friday, August 29th, 2025. This track is peak Sabrina: sharp, witty lyrics dripping with sarcasm, wrapped in a glossy pop sound that hits like Emails I Can’t Send’s “Vicious” but with a playful, dark-comedy twist. She’s singing about a lover who went from obsessed to distant, leaving her waving at a stranger in her bed.
Lines like “My slutty pajamas not tempting him in the least” and “Can I return him, give back the version I like?” are pure gold, blending humor with heartbreak. If you love Sabrina’s knack for turning messy emotions into catchy anthems, this one’s your new obsession. Scroll down for the My Man on Willpower lyrics and vibe with the sass. More Man’s Best Friend tracks are coming to keep the drama alive!

Lyrics of My Man on Willpower by Sabrina Carpenter
[Verse 1]
He’s Clingy, He’s Loving, He Always Initiates
Calling And Touching, It Feels Like Just Yesterday
He Wanted All Four Of My Personalities
Now I Don’t Recognize This
[Pre-Chorus]
Stranger (Stranger)
Danger (Danger)
There In My Bed At Night
Wide-eyed (Dreamin’)
Pondering (Schemin’)
What Life Without Me’d Be Like
Can I Return Him, Give Back The Version I Like?
This One’s Bullshit, Baby
[Chorus]
My Man On His Willpower Is Something I Don’t Understand
He Fell In Love With Self-restraint And Now It’s Getting Out Of Hand
He Used To Be Literally Obsessed With Me
I’m Suddenly The Least Sought-after Girl In The Land
Oh, My Man On His Willpower Is Something I Don’t Under—
Something I Don’t Understand
[Verse 2]
He’s Busy, He’s Working, He Doesn’t Have Time For Me
My Slutty Pajamas Not Tempting Him In The Least
What In The Fucked-up Romantic, Dark Comedy Is This Nightmare Lately?
Yeah, Okay, Okay, He’s On His Big Journey To Find
A Little Zest Of Life And His Sense Of Purpose, But Why?
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m Right Here (Right Here)
I’m Waving (Hello)
The Joke Can Be Over Now
You’re So Silly, Baby
[Chorus]
My Man On His Willpower Is Something I Don’t Understand
He Fell In Love With Self-restraint And Now It’s Getting Out Of Hand
He Used To Be Literally Obsessed With Me
I’m Suddenly The Least Sought-after Girl In The Land
Oh, My Man On His Willpower Is Something I Don’t Under—
Something I Don’t Understand
[Outro]
No, Oh
My Man’s In Touch With His Emotions
My Man Won’t Touch Me With A Twenty-foot Pole
My Man’s Forgotten His Devotion
Where He’s Gone? God Only Knows
(Where He’s Gone? God Only Knows)
