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

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.

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

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

3:00 her voice changes to portals. . LORE

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

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

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!!!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This song deserves a music video..

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

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

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

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

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

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

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????!!

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.

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

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

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

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 😊❤

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

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

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

This is quite literally fire.

Melanie: lets release songs at the most unexpected times

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

This song is literally fire.

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

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

“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?

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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!!

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. (:

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 😭

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.

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

Crybabies: God? How many talent do Melanie Martines have? God: Yes.

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!!

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

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

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

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!

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

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

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

Melanie makes me feel much better in any way unlike many other artists she teaches so much

this song is truly a masterpiece in every single way.

let's be honest, we all waited for this

"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?"

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.

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 :))

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

I would like to say, thank you Melanie. You haved helped me overcome so much things, such as bullys, suic1d3, and so much more. Thank you so much

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.

*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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

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 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

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

I seriously can’t believe I’ve always liked her much since I was like 7 watching animatics or gmvs with her voice. I guess I was always a fan but never knew ❤

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

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

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

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

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

OK BUT LIKE THIS IS A BOP

This brings a good idea of whats happening irl. In the nuke part, when she asks "would you say goodbye or would you post abt it" is true. People keep posting about stuff, instead of helping and focusing. They just see something and see it as a likeworthy post.

“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.
