Composition and lyrics

"House Tour" incorporates bubblegum pop, [2] power pop, [3] dance-pop, [4] synth-pop, [5] and new jack swing, [6] with a post-disco beat [7] and elements of 1980s music. [8] It has received comparisons to Janet Jackson [6] and Paula Abdul. [9] The lyrics of "House Tour" are filled with innuendos and are about the singer showing her date her house, while also being about sex. [10] Carpenter references the cookie brand Chips Ahoy! in its lyrics. [11] Although Carpenter contradicts the innuendos in the song's lyrics, when she sings "and I promise none of this is a metaphor". [4]

Release and reception

The song was first released as the penultimate track on Carpenter's seventh album Man's Best Friend . [12] On January 23, 2026, the song was released as the fourth single from the album. [1] When ranking every song on Man's Best Friend, Jason Lipshutz placed it at number 2, calling it a "fast-moving synth-pop track rife with winks and innuendos, the song is both a thrilling gag and expertly crafted '80s workout", noting that "Carpenter moves briskly across hooks and one-liners, landing jokes about waxed floors and backdoors without detracting from the song’s pop shimmer. No other pop star could have constructed [the track] quite like Carpenter, and it sounds like a future fan favorite." [5] India Block stated that it "is all cute Barbie's dream house until you realise she's making a floor plan sound like the Karma Sutra". [13]

Live performances

Carpenter added the song to the setlist of the last North American leg of the Short n' Sweet Tour (2024-2025), her fifth concert tour. [14]
