On service-level yeah. But if you really think about it she’s definitely talking about the music industry. She’s a cookie in the video because the record labels are trying to make her cookie cutter artist. She’s literally a product they are making. The lyrics are taking about being overworked and overwhelmed. Then at the end she gets eaten alive which means how record labels use people till they aren’t wanted by the public anymore.
Verlinity Definitely, that’s what I thought it was about at first, but Melanie came out and said that she worked at a bakery in high school to make money for her music career, but was later fired from that job
Rokhopper987cp yeah I think she’s not fully saying it’s about the music industry because she’s signed to a record label. In the a interview Melanie says she got fired four days after working at the bakery meaning the bakery jobs wasn’t so important to her. I think she’s putting that as a front.
The song is abt how she worked at a bakery in high school in order to make money to invest in music and art Usually her songs have deeper meanings but this one was just abt a bakery lmfao You guys should try to react to the k-12 album
Mason Jones the video has a different meaning / symbology. as you can see at the beginning there’s posters with the blm and defund the police campaign and in the ending, the old lady represents the rich eating the poor.
Melanie Martinez is truly unique. Whenever you see her songs, you see creativity, imagination, and sometimes creepy. But there is always a deeper meaning in her songs, whether it is sad, happy, or just mentioning how she truly felt in a situation. Melanie Martinez creates her own world, those bunnies you see there, are there because they where her group when she worked at the Bakery. Not only that, but her songs connect. That’s why it’s best to start at the beginning, I’d say it’s best to start off with the song “Dollhouse,” her world starts off with her in an abusive family. Anyway, besides her other songs, talking about this song in general, in the beginning, you see a vehicle pass by, but in that vehicle, you see a wolf, which also connects to a song she made called “Tag your it,” which is mentioning human trafficking. You can also see the posters at the left side of the bakery which says “BLM” “Defund the Police” and “No Pigs Allowed.” Little details like these, aren’t worth losing. Then when you see the woman walking with the cookie back inside her house, she is referred to as “Mary” in the song, and she was the abusive boss, so when you see her cutting the cookie, that’s just Melanie’s visual of how she felt her Boss treating her, aka “Mary.” She was apparently abusive, and hurtful. And if you didn’t focus to much on the way Melanie looked and how she danced, you can see cupcakes on the walls that are referencing her dolls. In the scene where Melanie’s face was widening, it was her being subconscious. And the blood in her mouth was referencing another song she named “Mad Hatter.” And the last part of the video of how she was acting after she shoved the sword into her mouth, was to demonstrate how crazy she went, how much pain she felt, that she wanted to end it. So yeah, Melanie is more then just a good singer, and dancer. Her songs are like stories, but those short lines, makes you think deeply about the way someone actually feels. Her songs talk about real life problems. Situations you just have to face. You have to overcome them. Melanie is just a human like us after all. We all have our moments where we were hurt, physically, mentally, or emotionally.
PLDtv plz react to the cry baby album then the k-12 album bc this video and song is her most literal song literally every other song has a very deep metaphor except for this one since it’s about her being fired from her high school bakery
If ya wanna keep following Melanie then I suggest reacting to her first album: Cry Baby which is all about the beginning stages of life for the character of the same name. (Cry Baby) The album not only goes into the character’s life/early childhood, but also delves into some real hard hitting topics like depression, infidelity in relationships, sexual abuse, and societal beauty standards for women. MUCH LOVE! 💖
If you want to know the entire Cry Baby story then listen to Cry Baby (album) first along with the music videos, then watch k-12 the movie for free on CZcams. her EP just released has the same themes but it’s from her point of view
Melanie Martinez is a very unique and talented artist. You can never compare her to any other artist. To understand her work you have to go back to her first EP called the“Dollhouse EP”. After that you go to her Debut Album “Cry Baby”. Crybaby is an album full of songs we can relate to that we deal with in our personal lives. When you buy the album it comes with a Story book, the story is about a character named Cry Baby, and crybaby goes through things that makes her go insane and makes her sad, but at the end, it makes her who she is and she falls in love with the person she’s become and grown into. She has directed music videos to the album and she plays the Character Cry Baby and they’re all connected so you have to watch them in order. Then she released “Crybaby’s Extra Clutter EP” Next you have K-12. The second album which comes with a movie she’s written and directed. In this album she sings about the things that go on outside of our personal lives, the things we deal with in society. And it’s a continuation of Cry Baby’s story. Crybaby is going to school she meets friends, they plan to escape the school because it is so corrupted like the government. She uses a lot of metaphors within her lyrics and visuals so you have to pay attention to that. Last but not least is her latest “After School EP” She’s only writing songs to help people heal in some way, to help them understand what life is all about. She’s not in it to release singles and win awards. She an artist who sings about topics other artists don’t. That’s what makes her unique and her imagination when it comes to visuals is very talented and wild. And every album she puts out has a theme. Looking at the titles of the albums and aesthetics you’ll notice it. And The Bakery is about how she got fired at a bakery she used to work at after school.
The song is about how people have used her for money when she needed to go and it's about doing a job even if you don't want to in order to be able to live your dreams.
Ok. This song is based (partly) on her experience working at a bakery as a teen. BUT BUT BUT its also about how producers and managers "cut into" their artists creativity and squeeze as much as they can to make more dough. Hence, starting at a bakery, being turned into literal dough, baked, packaged and then having all of the jelly (her soul and creativity) spill out! Hope this helps!
Melanie has expressed SO MANY TIMES TO STOP THIS NARRATIVE. It caused massive backlash from her record company bc fans wouldn’t stop ignoring the inspiration and make up their own like this.
YES people in the comment section...this song was explained by Melanie that she's talking about her experience with the bakery she worked at- but ppl are allowed to make other interpretations too because it's arts! It doesn't have to be rigid and exactly like what's the artist says.
this song is about Melanie being fired from her bakery job in high school, to save up for her music, and now I will walk you through on the lyrics, what they mean or what I think they mean, "Pack it, box it flip it top it, with a bow tie ribbon, stop it, eating all the rainbow cookies, pies are flying through the roof" Meaning how she baked the stuff. "Not my first pick, but I'll do it, make the cash rise, stop em, move quick, out this shithole with a new whip, cream on top, and boutta prove it," , meaning, when she started the job, everything was fine and dandy, and the bakery job wasn't her first choice as a job, but she did it anyway, and since she was new, SHE WAS MAKIN ALL THAT CASH BOOOOOOOI. "bla bla, pack it box it, we already explained this, moving on "My boss says, mother Mary, catch me slippin through the concrete, show now mercy step right on me, little dab, send me to pergatory," Meaning, at first, all the other people, her boss was being mean to, but she was "slippin through the concrete, but then, the boss started to turn on her *as the boss did with everyone else there* "The bakery, tryna make some more, they expect me, to stay when I should go, grab the bag, for when they cross the door, it ain't for me to roll, it's bringin stress, for me to raise the door, " Pretty self explainitory, but I'll explain it anyway. when Melanie was about to go, the boss would say something like "Oh, your doing so good, please stay and work," Even tough the boss was being mean to her, that was the only time she was nice, and she had to already grab a bag, for when someone came in, because everyone that came in always bought something, but it brought stress. "pack it box it bla bla," "all the cherys, the way they all go, knock em down like, she your dodge ball, little mess up and she's angry, one downfall, she blames the whole team," saying, every time Melanie messed up, the boss would scream at everyone. "PACK BOX FLIP BLA," "THE BAKE YOUR... I'M NOT A PEICE OF CAKE! WAIT SHE'S STILL SINGING THE CHORUS WTF!?"
Melanie Martinez raps from time to time! At the end of Nymphology there’s a rap part. She also did a collab with the rapper Tierra Wack in their song CopyCat !!
Damn the editing, thumbnail, setups and of course the genuineness. U both seem like actually meant to do this stuff. I genuinely believe u both deserve more
the song is about her personal experiences from working at a bakery. she also puts a lot of metaphors in her songs and hidden messages in the music video. at the beginning of the mv, on the building it has a blm sign
Her album Crybaby told the story of a character called Crybaby. It is filled with child metaphors like alphabets and sippy cups, all actually discussing pretty dark themes. K-12, her second album, was made as a movie and uses school metaphors, while still talking about intense stuff. The Bakery is part of her newest EP, which just has a few odds and ends she's written
She first appeared on the voice but didn’t win. Her first album is called crybaby, one of the songs was used for American horror story, which is how I found her. Her second album is called k-12 and it came out as a film (it’s on CZcams). The bakery is apart of her EP called After School. Her music contains a lot about mental health and her political stance and well love!
Normally her songs have a lot of metaphors but this is just about how she worked at a bakery lmao. Id totally recommend the rest of her stuff, my favorite songs are Tag Youre It, Dollhouse, The Principal, Strawberry Shortcake, Orange Juice, Test Me and Numbers simply for their lyrics and just how perfect they are.
Ok so the cupcakes on the wall in the background when she's dancing, are actually characters from a music video she made 3 years ago called mad Hatter! PLEASE CHECK OUT THAT MUSIC VIDEO!!!! AND HER 3 ALBUMS, cry baby, K-12 and after school EP!!! The bakery is actually from her EP album which is her newest! Thank you!
It's not "jUsT aBoUt A bAkErY" like everyone is saying, it's about working any job where you are just taken for granted, over worked and under appreciated. It's about just doing it while you have to, to make the money to support your real dreams before you dip "not my first pick, but I'll do it, make the cash right so I can move quick out this shit hole in the new whip, cream on top, I'm about to prove it" ... "it aint for me to roll it out, it's just for me to raise the dough". Some even think it's related to her experience in the music industry, being treated wrong. In the video Melanie was being abused by literally being baked into dough, and the 'pure old christian lady' was the one who bought her and cut her up alive and ate her while she bled jelly. Which I see as commentary on how the most outwardly pure people are sometimes the worst people. Also the lyrics say "my boss is Mother Mary, catch me slipping through the concrete. Show no mercy, step right on me, stiletto death, send me to purgatory"
the song is quite literally about a bakery, melanie wrote this song about a place she used to work at and got fired after 4 days because she dropped a bunch of cannolis
I wont tell what the meaning behind it is because like half the comments already have, but please listen to her other songs because this video was a little out of her comfort zone, as you can see in her other albums.
It's basically about unenthusiastically working at a bakery (thats her own experience), but it can really relate to anyone unenthusiastically working at a job they don't want to be at, but they do it just to make the money. It can also relate to her record label and her feeling like a product, but the gist of the song is working somewhere you know you won't stay at, but it's purely to "raise the dough"
The song is about that when she was in high school she needed money so she worked at a bakery then she got fired The bunnies are there because Melanie had a pet bunny when she was younger but she gave it away to a friend thinking that they can still be friends sad🥺
melanies from queens new york. she was on the voice and after losing she pursued music on her own and became huge. this songs off her ep "after school". it's an extension off her last album k-12 (with a film) except her last two albums are telling a story about a character called crybaby and this new ep is solely her and her experiences.
She started on the voice and got her first album out on 2014 Her albums follow a story (have to be heard in order) first one is CryBaby and second one is K-12, this song if from an EP!!!!!!
So TBH the first time I heard it I thought the same but I was like “Nah it’s Melanie Martinez it wouldn’t be about that.” And like two weeks after it released I found out it’s about a bakery job she worked at where they overworked her and she really hated working there so yes this is legit about a bakery lyric: “They expect me to stay when I should go, grab my bag for when I cross the door, it ain’t for me to roll it out it’s just for me to raise the dough” Dough = Money Roll it out = continue working there
lol. you're right Melanie Martinez's videos are kinda hard to understand . in fact on my channel i've reacted to her bakery music video as well and explained some of the underlying themes. if you'd be interested check it out on my channel. Melanie is great i would recommend watching her k-12 film...it was a trip!!
“The Bakery” is based on a job Melanie Martinez had in high school. As the title implies, she did in fact work in a bakery. In the first verse she lets it be known that she enjoyed it a bit, being able to partake of some of its sweet products. But her inspiration was to make enough dough to transcend ‘that sh***ole’ in style. More specifically, Melanie has stated on social media that she was using the job to fund her artistic pursuits. And the reason she hated the place, as the second and third verses reveal, is because she had an oppressive, nitpicking boss. So ultimately she lost her enthusiasm and was compelled to leave the bakery. (Found this hope it helps)
In her song the gingerbread she does say a line close to “my heart bleeds jelly” so I get it all of her songs are usually about a character named crybaby who goes through a lot of real world problems she has three albums now (one is also a move) and a lot of other stuff . I don’t know much about her but she was on the voice and won. She’s also Latina
Mel has released 2 studio albums (sa), and 2 extended plays (ep). Going in the order of release year, they are the following : 1.) Dollhouse (E.P.) 2.) Crybaby (s.a.) 3.) Crybaby's Extra Clutter (e.p.) 4.) Pity Party (e.p.) 5.) K-12 (s.a.) (short film, also) 6.) After School (e.p.) It does not matter which order you listen to ANY OTHER ALBUM, but Crybaby. The order that Crybaby MUST BE LISTENED TO IN IS: 1. Crybaby 2. Dollhouse 3. Sippy Cup 4. Carousel 5. Alphabet Boy 6. Soap 7. Training Wheels 8. Pity Party 9. Tag, You're It 10. Milk & Cookies 11. Pacify Her 12. Mrs. Potato Head (this one has an important message, watch the music video!!) 13. Mad Hatter If you have further questions about Mel, please email them to me @ lolitarivers0420@gmail.com From all the Crybabies out there, to you: Welcome to the world of Melanie Martinez!
fun fact about melanie her bunny died when she was just a kid bc she had to pick between a dog and a bunny she picke the dog and she dicited to give the bunny to her friend and when her friend left her house for hours her bunnys head was cut off so thats why the bunny is there
Melanie Martínez use to work at a bakery as a part time job to save money to put towards her music career. They expect her to stay but she wants to move on within her occupation. Her boss is strict as implied in the lyrics one messed up though she blamed the whole team. I think the song is just being about being used and wanting to get out of a shit hole 👏🏻
You should listen to the k-12 album, which is actually from her movie (K-12). It's AMAZING. The mvs are short because the scenes continue in the movie, everyone gets that wrong
This song is from 'After School EP', who it's a personal work from her. She actually has two albums in storytelling style. The first one has music videos for all the songs, and you have to watch in order, 'Cry Baby', and the second one has a full Movie with story and songs, 'K-12". Have fun reacting to it
Melanie Martinez is a famous person she tells about her life story when she was little she had a bad childhood style when she went to she kids was messing with her and she cry and she put werid stuff in her music videos to make. It go the her song and Melanie Martinez is the best can y'all listen to after school ep
Listen to the crybaby the first album But in order and it a book she made of it and then her Second album k-12 Which is a movie she made on CZcams free.
“It ain’t for me to roll it out, it’s just for me to raise the dough” I like to think of this metaphor of her being the one bringing in the money for her industry, being seen as a product instead of a hard worker within the music industry.
I think it means she is not there to stay for a while but just there to get money for her music. She worked there in high school to earn money to make her music

The song is about her getting fired at the bakery she used to work in when she was in high school and they made her stay when they needed her.
Andy Martinez I’m not sure if she got fired but she did say that it was about her trying to get money for her music career
zach b she got fired after 4 days
Omg that’s funny af lmao
Why does this send sjdkxkkc
Her songs usually have a lot of metaphors but this one is legit about a bakery LOL
On service-level yeah. But if you really think about it she’s definitely talking about the music industry. She’s a cookie in the video because the record labels are trying to make her cookie cutter artist. She’s literally a product they are making. The lyrics are taking about being overworked and overwhelmed. Then at the end she gets eaten alive which means how record labels use people till they aren’t wanted by the public anymore.
Chris Montano That is one metaphor, but this is legit about her working at a bakery to make money for her music career while in high school lol
@@Rokhopper987cp It has some music industry metaphors but...I guess
Verlinity Definitely, that’s what I thought it was about at first, but Melanie came out and said that she worked at a bakery in high school to make money for her music career, but was later fired from that job

Pay attention to the signs on the building in the intro they say “BLM, No Pigs Allowed, Defund The Police” One reason why I love Melanie
yoooooo, i didnt ven notice that
What does that mean?? No pigs allowed
@@itsjustjaydenandgames1262 pigs is another word for cops
I don't agree with her, but I do love her.
@@igost3bby234 umm
The song is abt how she worked at a bakery in high school in order to make money to invest in music and art
Usually her songs have deeper meanings but this one was just abt a bakery lmfao
You guys should try to react to the k-12 album
why did she shove a sword down her throat? and al that?
Mason Jones the video has a different meaning / symbology. as you can see at the beginning there’s posters with the blm and defund the police campaign and in the ending, the old lady represents the rich eating the poor.
This song is about her personal experience of her working at a bakery.
Just found this out 😲
Ok smart ass

Yes Melanie Martinez- Dollhouse. She's literally a story teller.
I mean pretty much any of her songs are good 😂

PLDtv plz react to the cry baby album then the k-12 album bc this video and song is her most literal song literally every other song has a very deep metaphor except for this one since it’s about her being fired from her high school bakery
she sends out vitally important messages especially to young girls who are insecure in her songs as well :)
Melanie writes all her songs, and even designed her outfit in this music video😌
She also plays the rabbits

Those are my favs
imisslayups and everything else
Taste
And Show and Tell
It’s kind of ironic, but the song is actually about how she was fired from a bakery 😂
Melanie Martinez was one of the voice contestants who was on team adam back in season 3 and was one of the top 6 rounds that was eliminated
If ya wanna keep following Melanie then I suggest reacting to her first album: Cry Baby which is all about the beginning stages of life for the character of the same name.
(Cry Baby)
The album not only goes into the character’s life/early childhood, but also delves into some real hard hitting topics like depression, infidelity in relationships, sexual abuse, and societal beauty standards for women.

It’s literally about a bakery this time guys 😂
Melanie Martinez is a very unique and talented artist. You can never compare her to any other artist. To understand her work you have to go back to her first EP called the“Dollhouse EP”.

Next you have K-12. The second album which comes with a movie she’s written and directed. In this album she sings about the things that go on outside of our personal lives, the things we deal with in society. And it’s a continuation of Cry Baby’s story. Crybaby is going to school she meets friends, they plan to escape the school because it is so corrupted like the government. She uses a lot of metaphors within her lyrics and visuals so you have to pay attention to that. Last but not least is her latest “After School EP”
She’s only writing songs to help people heal in some way, to help them understand what life is all about. She’s not in it to release singles and win awards. She an artist who sings about topics other artists don’t. That’s what makes her unique and her imagination when it comes to visuals is very talented and wild.

And The Bakery is about how she got fired at a bakery she used to work at after school.
The song is about how people have used her for money when she needed to go and it's about doing a job even if you don't want to in order to be able to live your dreams.
Y’all should react to Doll House, it’s one of her songs that’s a lil easier to disect but all of her songs have very deep meanings
Ok. This song is based (partly) on her experience working at a bakery as a teen. BUT BUT BUT its also about how producers and managers "cut into" their artists creativity and squeeze as much as they can to make more dough. Hence, starting at a bakery, being turned into literal dough, baked, packaged and then having all of the jelly (her soul and creativity) spill out! Hope this helps!

this song is about Melanie being fired from her bakery job in high school, to save up for her music, and now I will walk you through on the lyrics, what they mean or what I think they mean, "Pack it, box it flip it top it, with a bow tie ribbon, stop it, eating all the rainbow cookies, pies are flying through the roof" Meaning how she baked the stuff.

The sword I feel like is representing the queen of swords tarot card. Queen of swords energy
She first appeared on the voice but didn’t win. Her first album is called crybaby, one of the songs was used for American horror story, which is how I found her. Her second album is called k-12 and it came out as a film (it’s on CZcams). The bakery is apart of her EP called After School. Her music contains a lot about mental health and her political stance and well love!
3:56 my mans was ready to buy some shoes
Yall rly are in my top 3 as far as reactors lol
I love that yall can vibe to so many diff genres ♡
Normally her songs have a lot of metaphors but this is just about how she worked at a bakery lmao. Id totally recommend the rest of her stuff, my favorite songs are Tag Youre It, Dollhouse, The Principal, Strawberry Shortcake, Orange Juice, Test Me and Numbers simply for their lyrics and just how perfect they are.
Yesss! Would love to see some more Melanie videos!
melanie martinez produces her songs and makes the videos and she also made a movie and she autographed it and sang it she is an example to follow
Ok so the cupcakes on the wall in the background when she's dancing, are actually characters from a music video she made 3 years ago called mad Hatter! PLEASE CHECK OUT THAT MUSIC VIDEO!!!! AND HER 3 ALBUMS, cry baby, K-12 and after school EP!!! The bakery is actually from her EP album which is her newest! Thank you!
It's not "jUsT aBoUt A bAkErY" like everyone is saying, it's about working any job where you are just taken for granted, over worked and under appreciated. It's about just doing it while you have to, to make the money to support your real dreams before you dip "not my first pick, but I'll do it, make the cash right so I can move quick out this shit hole in the new whip, cream on top, I'm about to prove it" ... "it aint for me to roll it out, it's just for me to raise the dough". Some even think it's related to her experience in the music industry, being treated wrong.
In the video Melanie was being abused by literally being baked into dough, and the 'pure old christian lady' was the one who bought her and cut her up alive and ate her while she bled jelly. Which I see as commentary on how the most outwardly pure people are sometimes the worst people. Also the lyrics say "my boss is Mother Mary, catch me slipping through the concrete. Show no mercy, step right on me, stiletto death, send me to purgatory"
the song is quite literally about a bakery, melanie wrote this song about a place she used to work at and got fired after 4 days because she dropped a bunch of cannolis
Y'all should listen to some of her other music she's amazing 💖💖💖
I wont tell what the meaning behind it is because like half the comments already have, but please listen to her other songs because this video was a little out of her comfort zone, as you can see in her other albums.
This is Melanie
My top 4 songs
#4 orange juice
#3 fire drill
#2 dead to me
#1 test me
It's basically about unenthusiastically working at a bakery (thats her own experience), but it can really relate to anyone unenthusiastically working at a job they don't want to be at, but they do it just to make the money. It can also relate to her record label and her feeling like a product, but the gist of the song is working somewhere you know you won't stay at, but it's purely to "raise the dough"
It’s Melanie Martinez she can’t make a song without a creepy twist I love it
The song is about that when she was in high school she needed money so she worked at a bakery then she got fired The bunnies are there because Melanie had a pet bunny when she was younger but she gave it away to a friend thinking that they can still be friends sad🥺
melanies from queens new york. she was on the voice and after losing she pursued music on her own and became huge. this songs off her ep "after school". it's an extension off her last album k-12 (with a film) except her last two albums are telling a story about a character called crybaby and this new ep is solely her and her experiences.
You should react to high School sweetheart from Melanie Martinez I love the music video for that song
When it's literally about her part time job at a bakery 😀🤦🏻♀️🤣
Watching her movie would be iconic
She started on the voice and got her first album out on 2014
Her albums follow a story (have to be heard in order) first one is CryBaby and second one is K-12, this song if from an EP!!!!!!
LOLLL it’s actually about a bakery that she worked out for money and they treated her bad
Her entire Cry Baby album is amazing and worth a listen
So TBH the first time I heard it I thought the same but I was like “Nah it’s Melanie Martinez it wouldn’t be about that.” And like two weeks after it released I found out it’s about a bakery job she worked at where they overworked her and she really hated working there so yes this is legit about a bakery lyric:
“They expect me to stay when I should go, grab my bag for when I cross the door, it ain’t for me to roll it out it’s just for me to raise the dough”
Dough = Money
Roll it out = continue working there
I suggest you listen to some of her other songs! This one is more lighthearted than her others which have deep meanings!
Omg u guys should react to all Melanie’s videos
the fact that this song is literally about a bakery LMAO
lol. you're right Melanie Martinez's videos are kinda hard to understand . in fact on my channel i've reacted to her bakery music video as well and explained some of the underlying themes. if you'd be interested check it out on my channel. Melanie is great i would recommend watching her k-12 film...it was a trip!!
“The Bakery” is based on a job Melanie Martinez had in high school. As the title implies, she did in fact work in a bakery. In the first verse she lets it be known that she enjoyed it a bit, being able to partake of some of its sweet products. But her inspiration was to make enough dough to transcend ‘that sh***ole’ in style. More specifically, Melanie has stated on social media that she was using the job to fund her artistic pursuits. And the reason she hated the place, as the second and third verses reveal, is because she had an oppressive, nitpicking boss. So ultimately she lost her enthusiasm and was compelled to leave the bakery.
(Found this hope it helps)
In her song the gingerbread she does say a line close to “my heart bleeds jelly” so I get it all of her songs are usually about a character named crybaby who goes through a lot of real world problems she has three albums now (one is also a move) and a lot of other stuff . I don’t know much about her but she was on the voice and won. She’s also Latina
Mel has released 2 studio albums (sa), and 2 extended plays (ep). Going in the order of release year, they are the following :
1.) Dollhouse (E.P.)
2.) Crybaby (s.a.)
3.) Crybaby's Extra Clutter (e.p.)
4.) Pity Party (e.p.)
5.) K-12 (s.a.) (short film, also)
6.) After School (e.p.)
It does not matter which order you listen to ANY OTHER ALBUM, but Crybaby.
The order that Crybaby MUST BE LISTENED TO IN IS:
1. Crybaby
2. Dollhouse
3. Sippy Cup
4. Carousel
5. Alphabet Boy
6. Soap
7. Training Wheels
8. Pity Party
9. Tag, You're It
10. Milk & Cookies
11. Pacify Her
12. Mrs. Potato Head (this one has an important message, watch the music video!!)
13. Mad Hatter
If you have further questions about Mel, please email them to me @ lolitarivers0420@gmail.com
From all the Crybabies out there, to you:
Welcome to the world of Melanie Martinez!
fun fact about melanie her bunny died when she was just a kid bc she had to pick between a dog and a bunny she picke the dog and she dicited to give the bunny to her friend and when her friend left her house for hours her bunnys head was cut off so thats why the bunny is there
Please react to more Melanie Martinez reactions! something like Mrs Potato Head. it’s a good song🥳 PRETTY PLEASE
the song is literally ab her getting fired from a bakery she worked at in highschool lol
Melanie Martínez use to work at a bakery as a part time job to save money to put towards her music career. They expect her to stay but she wants to move on within her occupation. Her boss is strict as implied in the lyrics one messed up though she blamed the whole team. I think the song is just being about being used and wanting to get out of a shit hole 👏🏻
You should listen to the k-12 album, which is actually from her movie (K-12). It's AMAZING. The mvs are short because the scenes continue in the movie, everyone gets that wrong
Melanie got her start on the voice. And dollhouse is a good start. But cry baby’s was her first m/v and come first chronologically.
This song is literally about how she used to work in a bakery but got fired
This song is from 'After School EP', who it's a personal work from her. She actually has two albums in storytelling style. The first one has music videos for all the songs, and you have to watch in order, 'Cry Baby', and the second one has a full Movie with story and songs, 'K-12". Have fun reacting to it
Melanie Martinez is a famous person she tells about her life story when she was little she had a bad childhood style when she went to she kids was messing with her and she cry and she put werid stuff in her music videos to make. It go the her song and Melanie Martinez is the best can y'all listen to after school ep
Listen to the crybaby the first album But in order and it a book she made of it and then her Second album k-12 Which is a movie she made on CZcams free.
It’s literally about a bakery that she was fired from💀
It was about her bakery job in highschool
The bunnies are just because melanie genuinely loves bunnies
I heard this song was about how her label isnt letting her be her or sum like that
You should watch some videos about her also react to the songs:Sippy cup,Drama Club,Orange juice,milk and cookies,and Recess
in order to really understand her you have to go wayyy back to the beginning to her first album cry baby and I would love it if you did so
Please do react to her first mv or the crybaby era . It's old but gold and i like your reaction to our daddy mel. Pls do more
You have to react to Melanie Martinez old videos... please react to mad hatter. She has always had crazy videos and concepts... she’s a genius
The truck in the beginning is from tag you're it another song she has
This reaction is so entertaining to watch ahhahshahha you both move the same way
i NEED them to listen to her other songs
This is not about a bakery I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 subscribed
“It ain’t for me to roll it out, it’s just for me to raise the dough” I like to think of this metaphor of her being the one bringing in the money for her industry, being seen as a product instead of a hard worker within the music industry.
I think it means she is not there to stay for a while but just there to get money for her music. She worked there in high school to earn money to make her music
defo a metaphor the music industry lol
AHHH DID YALL REACT TO MORE MELANIE?? i cant find any others 😭😭
Fun fact - this song about her experience about working at a bakery once
you should react to her new After School EP, The Bakery is from it. You should also react to her song Oranga Juice
I hope you guys watch her movie K-12
melanie is an ARTIST, please react to k-12, she uses a lot fo metaphors and covers important issues.
This is legit about a bakery she worked at in high school lmao
