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

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

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

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

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

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

3:00 her voice changes to portals. . LORE

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This song deserves a music video..

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

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

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????!!

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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!!

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.

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

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

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

This is quite literally fire.

I mean seriously guys lets be honest Melanie Martinez has never written a bad song. At all. Edit: I'm not trying to copy someone's comment, if someone said something simmilar then they did.

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

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

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

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

The “I’m getting out of here” totally made this song 100x better than it already was.

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

the mental capacity you need to have to appreciate her is literally 0. she has so many different genres that she does and she seriously needs to be known by everyone in the world. one of the few genuine celebrities in this world.

I've been with Melanie since Dollhouse (which was 6 years ago). She has never had a bad song, remember after her recent album she was on tour working on K-12? She works really hard. It doesn't matter where you heard her, its the fact you found her and her beautiful music. So whatever new fans are forming, welcome! Edit: Thank you so much for the comments and likes! I'm glad you have the same experience (as in being with her since Dollhouse). I love you all!!!

“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?

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

:D

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

This song is literally fire.

I’ve loved her since third grade and it’s sad to see people only liking play date, not because I’m gate keeping her but because loads of her songs have good messages behind them that more people need to hear

Love this song with all my heart ❤️❤️

"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?"

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

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

She is epic. Her voice is angelic, She's pretty, She's amazing

i love fire drill

“Fire Drill” finds Melanie singing about people being artificial and constantly seeking attention, leaving behind their family lives and hiding their true personality to appeal to the likes of others and boost their popularity, keeping in line with the school themes from K-12. The track was first released during the end credits of Martinez’s K-12accompanying film on September 6, 2019. However, Melanie teased the track’s eventual release onto streaming service far in advance of its actual release date of June 26, 2020.

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

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

yass

*ITS LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE FOR MELANIE TO MAKE A BAD SONG* How can anyone ever hate her she seems like the sweetest woman on this earth

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

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.

Underrated hit 🗣️🔥

this song is truly a masterpiece in every single way.

A lot of people underrate Melanie’s songs. She’s one of the only artists I know who has meaning to her songs. Whenever I listen to her music, I feel like I have a shoulder to lean on. She’s an amazing person. (:

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

Her best song

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

... and the best thing about Melaine is how true she remained to herself, her music & style.

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

I love You melanie Martinez

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

Does anyone else get that tingly feeling when it says “fire drill” like it’s so smooth 😌

OK BUT LIKE THIS IS A BOP

0:25 CATS!?

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

I still don't understand how there are people who don't like Melanie Martinez

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

If your here from 2025 👇

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

everyone has heard this song before but it actually being released just hits diff

It’s crazy to think that I’ve been listening to her when she only had carousel and dollhouse out

STORY TIME!!! oki so during my class I was singing Fire drill, and when I got to like halfway of the song I turned to my friend and said "am I tripping, or do I hear the fire alarm???" ... Guess who caused a fire drill :3 (everyone was oki)

let's be honest, we all waited for this

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

DUDE THE DAY K-12 CAME OUT I WAS SO UPSET THAT FIRE DRILL WASNT RELEASED AND IM SCREAMING RN AHGDHBMK

I love this song so much

There hasn't been a song melanie has made i haven't liked. All her songs are amazing!

can y’all STOP gatekeeping?? we should make melanies new fans welcome, not make them wanna run away

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 :))

Alguém de 2025?

I love that she’s actually recording and releasing her lesser known songs (like, the ones that you’ll only find with bad audio quality or unofficially posted cause she never actually recorded them) it makes me really happy. I hope she records songs like a million men, dear porcupine or where do babies come from cause I love those songs, although I have a feeling those songs will never be officially recorded :( (I also hope she officially releases I scream because although I think the audio I’ve found for the song is official it just doesn’t seem like she has officially released it on her channel or anything)

"I don't hold anger anymore even to those who hurt and betrayed me." I sincerely hope I get to that mindset one day. Just give me time to grow and know my worth.

Melanie is by far the most unique artist, and that’s what I love about her.

Fun fact: this whas supposed be a part of the K-12 movie

MY PREDICTIONS/MELANIES "LIST" Jantiors Closet-coming out of the closet for your sexuality Eraser-people ghosting and leaving you out after school/changed Seesaw-connected to people not getting treated fairly (gender, sexuality) Homework- Getting a job and controlling your life Pick nick- Taking a break from the world and relaxing

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

Imagine if she released the EP tomorrow 🤭. She said she’s gonna release After school after The release of FD Edit: What I meant was we’re basically a step closer to the EP because we wouldn’t have gotten the EP without FD

IV been here sense the very first song !! I'm so old !! 😂😂 I'm glad we grew up together ❤❤❤ love y'all

As a veteran of Melanie, I can officially say she has never released a bad song.

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