Melanie Martinez's creative drive and talents as a visual artist have long distinguished her from other musicians. With her debut album Cry Baby, Melanie introduced the world to her distinctly original vision with hits like “Pity Party”, “Pacify Her”, “Alphabet Boy”, “Carousel” and “Sippy Cup”. Creating unique music videos for each album track, including “Soap/Training Wheels” and “Tag, You're It/Milk and Cookies”, Melanie portrays the traumas and insecurities of the album's titular character over a bed of electro pop, alternative and hip-hop. Her latest triumph K-12, an inspired new album and feature film directed by and starring Melanie, brings together a melting pot of low-key hip-hop, soulful pop and indie-leaning electro with whimsical, surreal visuals and magical realism to stunning results.

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I was too young to see the truth
In my grandmas lap I’m drowning in her perfume
Too naive to even care
Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair
[Pre-chorus]
People gonna say if you need a break someone will take your place
People gonna try and tell you that you’re fine with dollars in their eyes just remember
[Chorus]
Don’t let them f#@& you honey no-oh
Don’t let them try ooh ooh
Don’t let them hurt you baby just say recess I’m tired
[Verse 2]
Sitting in my room looking at all I’ve done
Everything I’ve wanted has come to fruition
I should be happy but I can’t get out my bed
Stressing over the voices screaming inside my head
[Pre-chorus]
People gonna say if you need a break someone will take your place
People gonna try and tell you that fine with dollars in their eyes just remember
Don’t let them f@#& you honey no-oh
Don’t let them try ooh ooh
Don’t let them hurt you baby just say
Recess I’m tired
[Bridge]
Where is my time
Gone in my mind
Gone I can’t find
Euphoria
When I get upset I think in my head
“I do as she says”
[Pre-chorus]
People gonna say if you need a break
Someone will take your place
People gonna try to tell you that you’re fine
With dollars in their eyes just remember
[Chorus]
Don’t let them f@#& you honey no-oh
Don’t let them try ooh ooh
Don’t let them hurt you baby just say
Recess I’m tired

[SourLemonLasagna]

YOO I HAVE A THEORY WHAT IF KELLY KILLED CRYBABY THIS SONG WAS PLAYED AT THE ENG OF K12 AND KELLY WROTE A NOTE TO CRYBABY SAYING SHE WOULD BE DEAD AT RECESS.

[dramafrediedalthaygot]

🙏😔. I wish I could have married this woman that's all in the pass

[beli.unknown]

When she says baby it makes me feel so special and comfortable 😊💗💗

[hartsMatt]

Someone: recess is the worst 🙄
Me: 1:05 🥰

[darkdreamvideos]

Seeing this song performed live in concert was so great, her outfit, voice, and the fact that she said thank you after having everyone turn on their lights was so wholesome!

[peppergenYT]

melanie blessed us with a new song and a film on the same day 💗

[leeterallyaccountable]

I have a chronic illness that prevents me from doing a lot of normal stuff (hell, even cooking is often too much for me to physically handle). There is so much pressure to do more and be better, but most of the time I can't.
This is a song I always revisit when I feel overwhelmingly anxious or depressed about it. It's a good reminder that I'm allowed to take a break, I'm allowed to go slower. I can say "recess, I'm tired".

[LynIg]

Im having a panic attack right now, mel actually helped me with this song <333

Lyrics:
I was too young to see the truth
In my grandma's lap, I'm drowning in her perfume
Too naive to even care
'Bout the words she whispered while she brushed out my hair
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
Sittin' in my room, looking at all I've done
Everything I wanted has come to fruition
I should be happy, but I can't get out my bed
Stressin' 'bout the voices screamin' inside my head
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"
Where is my time?
Gone in my mind
Gone, I can't find
Euphoria
When I get upset
I think in my head
"I do as she says"
People gonna say
If you need a break, someone'll take your place
People gonna try
To tell you that you're fine with dollars in their eyes
(Just remember)
Don't let them fuck you, honey, no, oh
Don't let them try (ooh)
Don't let them hurt you, baby
Just say, "Recess, I'm tired"

[mikaylacole]

this is the most beautiful song ever it is amazing and melanie is such an angel for giving us and amazing movie free.

[starmaddiee]

I was listening to this while i was stressing over so many things at once, cuz of what was going on in my life. I felt so depressed at times, like i couldn’t tell my mom what i was going through cuz i was do scared she would think i’m fine and that i was okay but i wasn’t. So finally while i was crying and stressing in front of my mom, she was saying i shouldn’t act like that but i finally told her what i was going through, and she listened! I was hiding cuz i was so scared of what she’d think. She said she was hurt too cuz of my dad, who hurt her in the past and it pulled me away and hurt my heart so much i felt like i couldn’t do anything about it. Finally in years i feel truly happy. This song helped me tell my mom how i feel. Thank you so much Melanie Martinez, you are so special to me. You will always be. Even if you might not see this comment, it’s ok. You have inspired me to make music! I even learned to dance! And i felt more confident and better and less insecure of my body too! I will never forget you! I will show my future children your music and show them what made me happy! You helped me. I just needed a break. Thank you 🤍
