Sabrina Carpenter’s “Nobody’s Son” Gets Compared To Jon Pardi’s “Heartache Medication,” & I Can’t Unhear It

I can’t unhear it…

Pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter just released a new album Man’s Best Friend, which features hits like “Manchild,” and more. And while current pop music isn’t really my thing, I do like Sabrina and enjoy a lot of her music.

But there’s at least one song country fans might really like, which is “Nobody’s Son,” because it sounds eerily familiar to Jon Pardi’s “Heartache Medication” in the chorus and even features similar lyrics.

Pardi’s song was of course the title track to his third studio, which was released in 2019 following the huge success of his 2016 project California Sunrise. It’s a timeless record, and Sabrina has collaborated with Dolly Parton before, and there are times where you can hear a little country twang in her music so I wouldn’t be surprised if there was some of that influence in this song too.

See what you think:

@nicolesumerlyn I went days trying to figure out what this new Sabrina song sounded like – AND IT HIT ME #sabrinacarpenter #newalbum #soundslike #jonpardi #manchild ♬ original sound – Nicole Sumerlyn

Many in the comments pointed out it was the first thing they noticed, and I’m here for it:

“Jon Pardi x Sabrina Carpenter collab when.”

“THANK YOU I thought this the first time I heard it.”

“1000% she wants to touch on the country sound while still doing pop! Couldn’t agree more.”

“Omg yes I have been thinking this thank you I’m not the only one.”

“I always go from singing Nobody’s Son to Heartache Medication! It’s the ‘here we/I go again….'”

“HELL YEAH COUNTRY X POP PRINCESSES.”

“This is the FIRST song I thought of when I heard Nobody’s Son!”

“She’s a country girl undercover.”

“At her Atlanta + Nashville shows last year she sang 9-5! She has some twang!”

“This makes sense as to why it’s my fav song on the album.”

“OMG my worlds collide.”

“Wait that’s why I love it so much.”

I actually wouldn’t mind a real deal Sabrina/country collab with a current star (Megan Moroney immediately comes to mind as a fit if we’re throwing names around), and I won’t be surprised if that eventually happens because she’s a massive superstar and everybody wants in on country music right now.

Then again, it’s not like Sabrina needs any help getting fans right now…

“Heartache Medication”

“Nobody’s Son”
