Sabrina Carpenter released her seventh studio album \u201cMan\u2019s Best Friend\u201d Friday, and the cheeky pop star is not shying from the criticism of her album cover.<\/p>\n

When the \u201cEspresso\u201d songstress first announced the follow-up to her viral album \u201cShort n\u2019 Sweet,\u201d the internet was quick to judge the album cover of the singer on her knees, with some calling her promiscuous and a bad example for young girls.<\/p>\n

Carpenter herself did not anticipate the response, and she told Gayle King as much on \u201cCBS Mornings\u201d Friday.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cBetween me and my friends and my family and the people that I always share my music and my art with first, it just wasn\u2019t even a conversation,\u201d she said. \u201cIt was just, like, it\u2019s perfect for what the album is.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything about it to me just felt like so opposite of the world ending,\u201d she added. \u201cY\u2019all need to get out more.\u201d<\/p>\n

In response to the criticism initially, Carpenter released alternate covers for the album, which she deemed \u201capproved by God<\/a>.\u201d The singer-songwriter said her interpretation of the album cover is about \u201cbeing in on the control, being in on your lack of control and when you want to be in control.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFor me, this whole album was about the humanity of allowing yourself to make those mistakes, knowing when you\u2019re putting yourself in a situation that will probably end up poorly,\u201d she said. \u201cBut it\u2019s going to teach you something, so there was a lot of different meanings.\u201d<\/p>\n

And for those who still won\u2019t jump on board, Carpenter seemed unbothered: \u201cThey hadn\u2019t heard the project. They don\u2019t know me. They don\u2019t know my intentions.\u201d Then she joked to King that her parents actually loved it.<\/p>\n

The \u201cManchild\u201d singer opened up about leaning into her sexuality as she has gotten older. She said weaving that part of her life into the music has come naturally. <\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t realize it was as taboo of a topic until I started writing about it more freely,\u201d she said. \u201cI just do what makes me happy, what makes me laugh.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for her suggestive lyrics, she said those are always what jumps out for her first then she conceptualizes how she packages the music for her fans. She said making this album felt like a band in many ways, working with collaborators Jack Antonoff, Amy Allen and John Ryan.<\/p>\n

When asked about her upcoming duet with Taylor Swift on \u201cThe Life of a Showgirl,\u201d Carpenter said her lips are sealed.<\/p>\n
