Sabrina Carpenter's seventh studio album, Man's Best Friend, dropped on Friday to much excitement among fans online, but it came with a warning from the US pop star herself.
"The album is not for any pearl clutchers," she told CBS News, with reference to prim, prudish or easily offended people.
"This is just fun - and that's all it has to be," she added of her often risqué live performances.
In June, the singer revealed alternative album artwork "approved by God" after the original cover - which showed her on her hands and knees in a black minidress with a suited man grabbing her hair - sparked controversy. Some argued it pandered to the male gaze and promoted misogynistic stereotypes.
CBS News's Gayle King, interviewing Carpenter, praised her "sexual, powerful, vulnerable" and "unapologetic" new music, which includes recent chart-topper Manchild and new single Tears.
