[nx_pullquote]“‘Bullshit repeats itself,’ is that how the saying goes? / Been here a thousand times, selective memory though.”[/nx_pullquote] Word, Sabrina Carpenter, word. The Grammy-winning pop artist continues, “I hear it in his eyes, he sees it in my tone / Is what it is, and it’s predictable.” Again, word.  Those lyrics comprise the first verse from “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night”, the fifth track from Carpenter’s seventh studio album, Man’s Best Friend, released in 2025. Matters of the heart, particularly matters of the bedroom, play a role in this pop joint. Carpenter penned “We Almost Broke Up…” with Amy Allen and Jack Antonoff.  Carpenter and Antonoff produced it.

Like many Sabrina Carpenter songs, there are blunt and humorous moments, as evidenced by the first verse.  The innuendo is on-point, too: “We almost / Got so close.” Those lyrics, from the post-chorus, reference that almost break-up, and, of course, sex itself 😏.  In the second verse, Carpenter shares her reluctance to end it, singing, “When I reach to pull the plug / I swear he starts working out.” She adds, “I know how it looks, I know how it sounds / Least we’ll give ‘em something to talk about.” That’s for damn sure! Other highlights lyrically include the bridge, where they aren’t perfect yet don’t appear to be quitting each other, and the centerpiece, the chorus:

“All the ‘I love yous’ and ‘I’m sorry’s’ were said

We had our sex and then we made amends, that’s right

Called it a false alarm to all of our friends

Then we almost broke up again last night.”

Beyond the striking lyrics, Carpenter delivers a nuanced and respectable vocal performance.  She marvelously brings those tuneful melodies alive, particularly when she ascends into her upper register. During the outro, she’s on fire as she informs us, “Gave me his whole heart, then I gave him head and then…” Ooh-wee! The musical accompaniment is sweet, particularly the drums, acoustic guitar, keys, and lush strings, which provide fuel for the non-breakup and Sabrina’s fire.  There’s also a modulation that amplifies intensity.  “We Almost Broke Up Again Last Night” marks one of many bright spots from Man’s Best Friend.
