SONGWRITER REACTS TO MELANIE MARTINEZ CRYBABY ALBUM FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 2023!! 

What’s your fave song off the album??

Just so you know, “Tag, you’re it” isn’t about picking out a wife. It’s about kidnapping. 😅

There’s a music video for EVERY crybaby album you need to react it makes it make so much more sense!!

Fun Facts: 1.The '' teddy bear bridge '' is actually in reverse and she's singing '' I didn't out grow you '' in reverse, its just so cool. 2.Alphabet boy's verses are in alliteration. 3.All of her albums are a connected story except for her EPs and bonus tracks. 4.She has an over 200 unreleased songs and most of them are soo good that you'd wish she'd releases them. 5.Every album has a song that will make you feel uncomfortable for some reasons, these song are '' tag your it '', '' teacher's pet '', and '' moon cycle ''. And yes, Melanie really does intends to make those songs to be uncomfortable.

1:40 Crybaby 3:13 Dollhouse 6:50 Sippy Cup 9:54 Carousel 12:11 Alphabet Boy 14:34 Soap 16:07 Training Wheels 17:21 Pity Party 19:25 Tag you're it 21:53 Milk and Cookies 23:53 Pacify Her 25:22 Mrs Potato Head 27:14 Mad Hatter 28:37 Play Date 30:34 Teddy Bear 32:11 Cake Honestly I forgot RU-vid was even a thing for a while- 😭 I'll totally be checking out your music video! ❤ (Edit: Oh by the way I know k-12 is next and then after that there's after school ep but you should totally check out her dollhouse ep!)

K-12 is next!!!

Her:I don't like when a chorus repeats and there are to many swears!! Trainning wheels: 👁👄👁

Fun Fact: The Melody of Carosel, Nurses Office (K-12) and Pluto (Portals Deluxe) are the SAME melody with different instruments. They all share a common theme of feeling stuck in a situation.

For sippy cup, the main metaphor is probably about trying to fake a certain innocence when really that innocence is no longer there

If anyone wants the meanings to the songs, here you go: Crybaby: Oversensitivity/too emotional Dollhouse: family issues Sippy cup: Concealing something, but it doesn't make a difference Carousel: Not being able to get off/out of a toxic or bad relationship Alphabet boy: growing up (I'm pretty sure) soap: Overly talking Training wheels:Not being able to let someone go Pity party: loneliness tag, you're it: kidnapping Milk and cookies: finding happiness in a dark place Pacify her: Jealousy Mrs potato head: irreversible results from plastic surgeries/thinking poorly of yourself Mad Hatter: Accepting your crazy self Play date: unhealthy or unbalanced relationships Teddy bear: a good relationship turning bad/toxic cake: The other person in the relationship only wanting them for their body and/or s3x I felt like doing this :) (also tell me if im wrong on any of these, i only googles the one for Cake) (thanks to @kat and @mae for fixing this up, i only researched 2 of them bc i wasnt bothered lol)

wait til she finds out that the crybaby album has an actual picture book 💕👀 it’s so cute

Cry Baby, Cake and Sippy Cup are my faves off the whole album. This album made my adolescence, and I still listen to it a lot as a 20 year old. I especially relate to Cry Baby a lot, bc I grew up being bullied, and whenever I had a reaction, people would bully me further for being a "Cry Baby" or a "spazz", so the song was really comforting for me.

yall ignoring the fact that her voice and song sound so angelic? Like it's so good

your voice is so beautiful and love the reaction!💗 You should also try watching the music videos because they play a big part in understanding the song.💗

You should definitely watch melanies music videos if you haven't already. If not as reaction videos then on your own, because the visuals on them really add to the music and bring it all together. 😍

13:13 maybe because the album dropped in 2015?

After school ep is my favorite album/ep of hers!! Its super good and indie. You should check it out :)

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS!!!!

OHMYGAWSHH i love ur relation to mad hatter & autism. melanie is one of my MANY special interests ive had forever, and ive always related to mad hatter for that exact reason too. completely didnt expect u to say that and im so glad u did cuz OMG! its not just me that thinks that way abt that song!! its such a more meaningful song in that perspective.. literally one of my faves of hers ever

Omg finally! Thank you for reacting to it! 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼

So excited to see you reacting to more of Melanie

I just found your channel through your portals reaction and ohmygosh I subbed instantly I love your personality

YES when you were talking about the line in mad hatter : “the crazys they make me feel sane” and how you related to it with being surround by other ND people I related to that so hard I got so excited haha.

This was such a fun video thank you for making this! had this in the background and some of your commentary had me cackling but also you mentioned so many things in this that I would never have ever noticed so this was such a nice insightful video. also as someone from the UK your random British accent moments are killing me. also on a separate note I LOVE the new song!! so excited for your new one you are truly spoiling us all atm!!

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS OMGGGG

She kills her kidnapper (who kidnaps her in Tag, You're It) in Milk and Cookies. You should watch the music videos of the album it makes everything make sense.

Fun fact: dollhouse is melanie martinezs first song ever

GIRL your music sounds so good we WILL be streaming 😍

just subscribed cause your personality reminds me of my fav cousin which is amazing

Aside from your reaction to Melanie's music. I LOVEEEEE your commentary!! You are super funny and I love how you you go into depth with her lyrics and music.

I love your reactions and your music! I cant stop listening to Gravity and Test the Water! If you’re taking any more artist recommendations I would highly recommend reacting to Aurora’s music or live performances if you get the time!❤

10:16 fun fact dove praised Melanie's work before so she definitely might be inspired by some Melanie songs

Amo este álbum con todo mi ser ❤

Your visual for dollhouse was completely the music video for it lol you got it right also crybaby,training wheels,mad hatter,cake are my favs

Hey I love your music so much, also can’t wait for K-12

Melanie’s dollhouse and afterschool ep are also amazing

I'm a pretty big fan ! I love ur vids sm

you should definitely watch the music videos to her songs because they hide a lot of meanings and are very interesting and fun to watch, and the deluxe tracks for this and portals, and k-12, they are all really good :) /nf

So glad you reacted to crybaby!!

Wishing you all the best 💖💖💖 in your career in music 🎶🎶🎶 also the quality of this vid is superb

your voice is so angelic and your so pretty

Omggg I could totally relate when u were talking about relating to Mad Hatter! I'm also autistic and my whole life I've been treated like I'm so weird or insane, so at some point I just went along with it and continued my life not caring. Sure, think what u want about me, but I couldn't care at all :)) I swear, Melanie and her music is like the biggest hug to my soul

Wait a min - hold on - That song snippet of yours was good af omg 😭

Your heart is too big for your body. That’s why you won’t fit inside😭😭✌🏽💜💙

The album starts with the song ‘crybaby’ because it introduces the character in this album,crybaby

now waiting for k-12 album/movie reaction 😭

THANKKKKKKKKKKKK UUUUUUUUUUUUU

Ahhhh how do you do this without the videos 😭 every song has a video

4:22 the way you just described the music video😭‼️

Fun fact: Dollhouse was her first song, Dollhouse ep was made before Cry baby

this album is so nostalgic for me butttt I hope you also do k-12 !! also would be cool for you to do the music videos since all her albums are visual! Some of the meaning of the songs are a lot darker than you think aka Tag Your It.. The music videos could help understand. and yes. lot of these are tiktok sounds !!! also yes ofc course we have build a bear it was founded in America lol

You love and appreciate the songs that I appreciate, I'm so happy!!! I hardly EVER see anyone love Milk and Cookies like I do, and it makes me sad cause it's my favorite! I always dread watching people react to it because people always rank it so low -n-

Listening to Milk & Cookies always makes me feel like a bad b*tch. 😂

I think that the reason they put crybaby as the first song in the album is because crybaby is the name of the character that the story is about, so it tells us about the character that the story follows. But yes, dollhouse is definitely the first part of the story.

k-12 is next & u can also watch the k-12 movie too!! it’s so good

You've already reacted to the album so I get it if you don't film it but PLEASE watch the videos for all the songs, her artistry is unmatched, I'm still obsessed with this album and Dollhouse is my absolute favorite but the videos give so much more context to the Crybaby story (both the album and the character)

You should watch the music videos! there’s a visual album for k-12 and crybaby there will also be one for portals :D

Already pre-saved June Bug

OMG MORE MELANIE

love from LIBYA 👏👏❣❣

Her best album my opinion.

Yes we have Build-a-Bear in the States! 😍

im vv happy to tell you that yes, we do have build-a-bear in the US

The lyrics in alphabet boy are actually in alphabetical order!! And Tag you’re it is about kidnapping! :)

I over how respectful u were and that even if u didnt like the song u didn’t trash talk it

yes we do have build a bear in the United States i still have mine from childhood LOL i thought that part was so funny

you literally described the video for dollhouse LOL

I feel you should listen the album watching the music videos ❤ you would love it

I love your voice so much I cannot !! You should definitely listen to k-12!!

K-12 is The most Perfect álbum in this world

OMGGG K-12 NEXT PLSS

My ranking of the album that nobody asked for: 16. Teddy Bear 15. Milk & Cookies 14. Carousel 12. Cake 11. Play Date 10. Dollhouse 9. Tag, You're it 8. Mrs. Potato Head 7. Alphabet Boy 6. Sippy Cup 5. Cry Baby 4. Pacify Her 3. Soap 2. Mad Hatter 1. Pity Party

Yes we have build a bear in the US and I recently found my Dalmatian build a bear that I had when I was really little but unfortunately the sound doesn’t work any more. Still happy to have found it though, it looks so different compared to the new build a bears

The interpretation of tag your it was slightly off!! Its about kidnapping. After crybaby’s pity party, someone kidnapped her and milk and cookies is her killing him :))

I checked out your song and my God your voice is so beautiful!!!

I’m not diagnosed with autism but I’ve been suspecting it and man I really relate to what you said lmao

Hiiiii!!❤

I think you are really pretty I am a big Melanie Martinez fan I bet you’ll love it

I still hold my cups with both hands.

i want to hear her thoughts on orange juice. she listens to melanie’s music intently like it is supposed to be listened to and i love it so much.

Melanie's songs was always a Tiktok audio, heck almost all of their songs are so yeah, some of them was in Tiktok

31:42 - literally me when i first listened to it😭🕳️🏃‍♂️💨 But then i got obsessed with it and idk why--

Crybaby was first because the music video is the birth of the character shes singing about as in the music video shows her name is CRYBABY

Sippy cup is a metaphor for alcoholism and when she says syrup is still syrup in a sippy cup shes basically saying that no matter if you put alcohol in a sippy it doesn’t change it and your still an alcoholic

“Do you guys have build a bear in the United States?!” bruh. lolol

I’m like two weeks late but I’m not sure if you know that crybaby is a character so the albums crybaby all the way to portals are like a story (after school Ep is not apart of the story) but all the songs connect she does concept album with k-12 she made an entire movie but for crybaby she made everysong a music video and did the same with k-12 and I’m pretty sure will to with portals

Yes, Pacify her, Soap, Pity Party, Play Date and Cake kinda went viral on TikTok

Here is the info about the album. BTW the music is in oder of the music vids. Also, if you watch the vids you can see the full story of the character crybaby being born and going through life with a lot of trauma, btw, she got powers. K-12 is her going through school and Portals is her dying and going to the afterlife. Crybaby: A more personal song to her, when she was young she was called out for being overly sensitive. Thus, crybaby. Dollhouse: Damaged household, pretending that everything is perfect. Sippy cup: Again, pretending everything is perfect and covering it up. But whatever you do the truth always comes to life. Carosel: Going round in a circle of love, trying to catch up to it but you can't, thus, being trapped in a carosel, going round and round in love. Alphebet boy: Once again, more person experience to her, she had a boyfriend that had a music diploma and he was trying to teach her how to sing and what to do with her music since he though he was smarter than her but Mel said '' not today bi**. '' Soap: Also one of her personal songs too, about her first love and she didn't know how to react to love and didnt know how to express her feelings towards that person and said some things she didn't want to say so she wanted to '' wash her mouth out with soap. '' Training wheels: Again I think another more personal one, a relationship where crybaby wanted to take her relationship to the next level, so take her relationship to another level but he doesn't want to, she wants to take the training wheels off but he was too scared to, in the music vid, the boy dissapears/ fades away, which I think that represents him getting too scared and running away / breaking up with her because he would rather break up with her than trying to move on. Pity party: A very literate song, no once coming to crybabys birthday party. Tag your it: Cryaby getting kidnapped. Which if you would see the music vids, crybaby was throwing the party decorations in the bin before getting abducted. Cookies and milk: Crybaby posing the kidnapper and getting free. Pacify her: Crybaby stealing someone's man, which makes sense if you think about it. Mrs. Potato head: Pretty obvious, insecurity and plastic surgery. Mad hatter: Crybaby finally going insane from all the trauma.

Girl I don't even remember what i ate yesterday jajaja

K12 ❤

you should try k-12 or afterschool youd love it

will you be reacting to the Music Videos?

As a cis man, even I can relate to soap, also I'm autistic too!!

Could you do k12??

nice reaction!! still waiting for the reaction to Zayn - drunk and outside toooooooooo ;)

K12 next pleaseee

I feel like for some of these, you need to watch the video in order to fully understand them.

the meanings for the songss Crybaby: crying a lot very easily Dollhouse: not everything u see is true like ur looking at the family they all look happy but that's not true Sippy cup: even you dress something up in a pretty or innocent cover, it still is rotten on the inside Carousel: chasing a guy but not reaching the horse in front of u Alphabet boy: mansplaining soap: like u know when u are talking to someone and u like say too much yeah Training wheels:being in love with a guy that doesn't want to move on to the next step because he is not ready to commit but u are Pity party: crybaby invited her friends over and no one came so she feels lonely tag, you're it: rape Milk and cookies: crybaby puts her rapist to sleep using melationin Pacify her: jealousy Mrs potato head: this song shows that all women/girls are beautiful and that they don't need any type of treatment to become even more beautiful. Mad Hatter: accepting ur self for who u are Play date: falling in love with ur friend with benefit Teddy bear: abusive relationship cake: being with a guy that only wants u for ur body

i can’t believe i used to like this album

Your song is actually pretty good. Is it in RU-vidMusic?
