I rlly hate when people say playdate made her famous she was successful before then

Fun fact: this was supposed to be song for the original ending in k-12, Mel wanted Cry baby to set the school on fire but the director said she had a budget so they stuck with putting true school in a bubble and having it float away

Me: im so sick i need to slee- Melanie: *breathes* Me: *stays up*

"Really, i'm trying to live my own life too" So relatable..

as a veteran crybaby, she’s never released a bad song

The way she makes such a sad, aggressive and depressing song so cute is such a skill... what a legend.

Reasons to love melanie: 1. She has a beautiful voice 2. She is respectful 3. She is kind

This song deserves a music video..

Just imagine her voice echoing through a room while she’s singing this

I love how Melanie uses toy instruments in her songs everytime! Her voice and style of songwriting really stand out! If I have this kinda vocal in my music production, that would be a dream come true lol

Not only can she sing like no one else, but each of her songs have an actual message. Gotta love her!

Melanie taught me to dress however I want and not care ab what other people think

i bet all of her bullies now listen to her and now are like “damn”.

the fact that she didn’t promote this AT ALL is just surreal edit : ik it was in the movie omg stop harassing me

Fire drill: Who are you? Bombs on Monday: You, but sadder.

3:00 her voice changes to portals. . LORE

*could not have been released at a better time in the world.*

melanie: *on fire* teachers pet: "now she wants to light you on fire"

Melanie: lets release songs at the most unexpected times

Melanie was the one who taught me to dress however the fuck I want, and to not care about pointed stares and whispers. ♥

*Let's pretend we haven't memorized every word of this song already*

Her voice is like mixing cotton candy, rainbows, and sweets Then her lyrics are like mixing poison, rain, and feelings

She hasn't written a bad song in her entire life

melanie hasn't got a single bad song omg.....

Anyone realize that Melanie can basically pull off a whole horror movie with pastel colors 😳😅

she finally released it. who remembers when u couldn’t find it nowhere

this women is a GODDESS she don't need autotune it needs here

Fans of Melanie since Dollhouse was released show yourselfs.

Mrs. Potato head : who are you? Strawberry shortcake : I'm you , but more insecure Orange juice : I'm both of you

I don't know why, but the "I'm getting out of here" is so satisfying

This is quite literally fire.

Her voice is like mixing honey, rainbows and lipgloss ^ Edit: oh wow thanks for the likes angels

she literally never has a bad song like ALL of her songs are so good

"PlayDate is the underated song" Fire Drill: "Am I a joke to everyone?"

It must be one of the most touching and human songs Melanie has ever written. No swearing, just talking about true feelings and how awful bullying is. Seems like she's feeling not just for victims of bullying but also for bullies themselves because only deeply heartbroken person can sink low enough to start hurting others. She understands that her resentment won't put an end to violence so she's choosing to forgive her bullies and focus on taking care of herself and others, on spreading love.

The fact that she didn’t promote this at all,and she’s still promoting the BLM movement make me respect her more💕✨

Me 7 hours ago: “I really like this song can’t wait for Melanie to release this” Melanie: I got you

"and all the cool kids thought I was weird." my life in a nutshell-

"If my house catches on fire I'm gonna start blasting fire drill" -My bestie 2023

melanie: pulls out fire drill cry babies: *pretends to be shocked*

I think we all have some thing we'd all probably agree on- *SHE CAN LITERALLY NEVER WRITE A BAD SONG*

Imagine being one of her bullies & seeing how far she got-

Melanie has gotten me through so much, I've been bullied, insecure, and oversensitive, and she just gave me so much joy. whenever I'm sad or upset I just put on a melanie martinez song and use it to calm down. This is one of the best ones. She helped me get through all my insecurities, including one about a gap in my teeth, which I love now because it makes me think of her, and helped me to ignore the bullies. Thank you so much Melanie 😊❤

When she hasn't even released the song but you already know all the lyrics

Remember when everyone kept leaking this and it would always get deleted cause of copyright? 😂

“I’m bad at public speaking” I felt that

This song is giving "I'll cry until the candles burn down this place. I'll cry until my pity party's in flames."

She deserves more, she gave her movie for free on youtube

Let's talk about facts, Melanie's Songs are the best.

Everyone’s talking about how this should’ve been the end, wouldn’t it be sick if the music video WAS the alternate ending to K-12????!!

I wish this had a music video.. this song is definitely one of my favorites.

Melanie: *jammin along and singing like a queen* Random kid at the end: “I’m getting out of here...”

It’s honestly sad seeing all of these toxic comments. I have been a fan since she made her appearance on the voice. She wouldn’t have wanted y’all to “claim your territory” we all have something in common. We love her and her music. We are no different. She made her music for EVERYONE.

“I am not the government, I am not the F*cked up men, I am not apart of anything that is hateful. love is seeping out my pores, I don’t hold anger anymore. Even for people who hurt and betray me.” Can we take a moment to appreciate this line please?

As a person who is a big target of bullying, this song is such a comfort for me. And this song is overall epic. But honestly if YOU bully ppl (for not good reasons, I mean you shouldn’t bully anyone but IF you have a good reason it doesn’t count) you don’t deserve to listen to Melanie. So that’s just a reminder that she does NOT condone bullying as this song means not bullying OR even bullying people back.

If I had a penny for every kid that pulled the fire alarm when there wasn’t really a fire...

I think that everyone need to know Melanie Martinez in this world, she’s right in all

When it says “Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say bye to your family? Would you post about it?” Hits different

Lyrics: I've never fit into any category, always deemed an outcast Since I was in Sunday school and all the cool kids said I was weird It's exactly the same, they say, "Why do you dress that way? Why do you act that way? Why don't you dress like me?" So is that what you really wanna say to me? You're playing games with me Telling me if I'm unkind, still you abandon me Calling me words I'm not, painting a picture that's false You must not know my heart, but I know it isn't your fault You live in a world in your clutch, you don't get out very much Living in the fake world, full of facades and chaotic behaviour You pull the lever for fun, yell, "Fire!", then you just run Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills, I wish the best for you And you think I ignore you too, but Really, I'm tryna live my own life And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to Crying inside 'Cause nothing I say ever comes out right We're on the same side If I'm honest with you, you just run and hide I'm bad at public speaking But I'm speaking now so hear me out (Shut up) I personally believe that everyone is fully capable Of more than what they're doing, all of the bullying All of the screwin' around with people They don't even really know, oh (Blah, blah, blah) Eatin' a hate soufflé, and an angry bitter sorbet All 'cause you were bored one day Losing your wits and your grace Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills, I wish the best for you And you think I ignore you too, but Really, I'm tryna live my own life And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to I am not the government I am not the fucked up men I am not a part of anything that is hateful Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore Even for people who hurt and betray me (Okay) I am not the government I am not the fucked up men (Gross) I am not a part of anything that is hateful Love is seeping out my pores, I don't hold anger anymore Even for people who hurt and betray me Fire drill, what would happen if a nuke just hit? Would you say "bye" to your family? Would you post about it? Fire drill, if it all went up in flames one day Would you give your mom a hug before your house burned away? It kills, I wish the best for you And you think I ignore you too, but Really I'm tryna live my own life And be present more, and so should you, it's alright to I'm getting out of here

3:10 „Love is seeping out my pores, I don’t hold anger anymore. Even for those who have hurt and betray me.” Oh, my, god. This changed my perspective so much. I’ve had lots of bad experiences with lots of bad people and I never really quite let it go. But this line really made me think about how unhealthy it is to hold grudges for so long. It’s actually crazy how a line in a song can change the way someone thinks. I’m now trying my best to let go the grudge I hold against them. Thank you so much Melanie.

Imagine having this as ur fav song from melanie and it wasn't even officially released

I hated when a lot of people skipped the credits of the movie losing this masterpiece

u can just tell everyone is singing along to a song that was only just released

People who are kids and still loves her, show your self

am I the only one thinking that this song has an "i'm watching as the world is slowly ending" sort of vibe?...

Mels the only celebrity who will never let the fame get to her head.

i can’t imagine being a toxic fan of melanies that is spiteful towards new followers when she said that was never the point of making her music your actions literally contradict this specific song and what melanie stands for. wtf is wrong with y’all

That "shut up!" in the background at 2:03 always makes me giggle.

“I am not apart of anything that is hateful” why can’t the whole world be like that?

Nobody: Nobody at all: Melanie:Hold on lemme drop this single at 12 a.m

Fun fact this was going to be in k-12 and she was gonna burn the school to this song but she was on a budget and just put it in a bubble instead :))

Does anyone ever feel empty and nostalgic when hearing this song, since it was the end credits and every time k-12 ends i just always wanna see more 😭

going at the end of the film to listen to fire drill was a mood. things that only crybabies can relate to ♡︎

She needs more appreciation beyond play-date. and this song shows exactly why.

Only artist who can bring back songs and get more love the second time.

3:02 This part makes me cry a lot. I’m on a journey of self improvement and healing and it just speaks to me. I used to be so angry and bitter by the way I was treated by people when I was a child/teenager, but I’m unlearning all the nasty things they told me and trying to move on from the past and realise those people were probably hurting too.

why is nobody talking about how she was on fire for the whole song. someone get the poor girl a bucket of water

I’ve been a fan of Melanie for THE LONGEST TIME and can confirm she’s literally NEVER had a bad song. I love this. Also I wanna say welcome to all the new Melanie fans who have come from TikTok!!

Nobody: Me at 4 am vibing: *”I aM noT the gOverNment-“*

Why did the lines "would you give your mum a hug before your house burned away" hit so hard-

"They say: _Why do you dress that way? Why do you act that way? Why aren't you just like me?_ So is that what you really wanna say to me? Are you playing games with me?"

"Why dont you dress like me" *dresses like them* T h e m : You look ugly

Let's act like we did not know all the lyrics as soon as we started to hear it

Love that this will be my kids first concert in May. She got me thru some hard times in a divorce after a 30 year relationship and so happy her music helps my child have the same healthy balance as she starts puberty. Please keep the rawness and honesty coming in such a positive productive way!

melanie: does not care about a thing and is just sitting there in the middle of a fire* edit: thanks for likes i think she is just immortal

imagine not knowing every single word to this already

You can’t even lie, Melanie is STILL making moves in this pandemic. Edit:Tysm for the likes in 1 hour!!!

I don't and never will understand why some people REALLY hate this song and call it 'overrated' This is one of my favourite melanie songs and it will stay like that!!

"I am not the government, I am not the fucked up men." -Melanie Martinez 2020

Point of song- She is saying that social media has taken over and people are doing all the trend's.The people who dont- They are the outcasts."Would you post about it?" She is saying that people care more about social media then their own lives."All the bullying to people you don't even know" People on social media picking on people for no reason at all.

Y’all realize this means After School is coming soon right?

As a veteran i can verfiy that all her songs are masterpieces

“eating a hate soufflé and an angry bitter sorbet” give this angel a grammy

Fun fact: fire drill is sampled from a traditional juvenile jingle “Do Your Ears Hang Low?”

Everyone forgets the true meaning of this song, it's about your bullies, and you bullying others. The song begs the question: Why? What is the point of bullying? Some of the lyrics make you question how much you take for granted and how blissful and how stupid bullying is. It's a very beautiful song.

I get bullied constantly in school. They question everything about me. I’m the most hated kid. And I relate to this song SO much. They thing THEYRE cool, when they’re making fools of themselves. Who ever just read this, have a good day/night

gone those comments "wow good slime" "I love this slime" "keep making a good slime!" "woah this slime is actually good ahh"

“You’ve never been out much” Quarantine: Yes, but actually no

"I Am Not A Part Of Anything That Is Hateful" -Melanie Martinez, 2019-2020 rawr

the 'shut up' after "i am bad at public speaking, but i am speaking now so hear me out" hits different for me :)
