Strawberry shortcake & orange juice are so much better when you watch the visuals

Sis you need to watch the movie. All the songs will make sense then

[emivan]

I like how all the songs titles have a theme of school but are about important society issues

[eliasweets]

Please watch the film. You will get what they are talking about.😂😂

[NicoTheJustDancer]

*Orange Juice is about bulimia*

*"You turn oranges to orange juice"*

[kierandidonato]

This girl has more energy then I could ever hope for

[ponderism]

When you see the movie wait for the credits, its a song called "Fire Drill"

[haleybrooks]

hahaa, melanie isnt really always necessarily talking about herself. its about crybaby, her character in the film and from the first album. watch the film and things will make sooo much more sense

[angelxskyy]

The fact that she Understood the Donald Trump reference in The Principle is why i love her

[nomdeplume]

_High School Sweethearts_ is my most played track on the album😂😂I had that song on repeat for a whole week. It's so good you don't even realise that it's like 5 minutes long

[lujain]

The songs make SO much more sense if you watch the film.

[hereismartins]

Melanie Martinez is so underrated, it’s so sad because GURL she just drop a *MASTERPIECE* that came with a *MOVIE*, like *GURL MY WIG!!*

[sadkidan]

can yall imagine her reaction to the detention visual ... oh my god

[gee]

I hadn’t discovered her music before this album and it surprises me that so many people take her lyrics so literally? What happened to making art with music and having messages embedded in your songs that aren’t spelled out for listeners and that people have to think about...that’s what makes music so interesting sometimes. It’s not just about how catchy a song is it’s about the political/societal statements music can make and I think that’s incredible. She caught my interest with this album and I like how much thought she puts into this “character” in her songs and how she has this whole story. Very creative and interesting. The lyrical content behind songs like “Teacher’s Pet” and “High School Sweethearts” isn’t meant to be taken at face value. You’re supposed to look into it and realize she’s commenting on real issues and how adults can take advantage of a young girl’s infatuation with an older man, how high school youths become obsessed with one another to an unhealthy degree and how it’s all-consuming, etc. Not saying that the reviewer herself in this video did this, but it’s tough to watch people try to censor art and expression because it’s “strange” or “different.” It’s not even about her it’s about her fictional character. We should be celebrating innovative artists, not scaring them away so that we’re only left with bland and generic pop. It’s weird that people think Melanie is “promoting” child abuse, etc with her creating a story through her songs and it’s ignorant. I have no hope for critical thinking with our generation these days. They take things so literally and don’t have anything thought-provoking to say. All they do is judge...it’s just sad to see what’s becoming of creativity in music and how it’s treated.

The Album isn’t about Melanie, it’s about Crybaby, when you watch the movie it makes a lot more sense ♥️🍼
