Read Full BioMelanie Adele Martinez (born April 28, 1995), known professionally as Melanie Martinez, is an American singer-songwriter, artist, film director, music video director, actress, dancer, clothing designer, and photographer.

Born in Astoria, Queens and raised in Baldwin, New York on Long Island, they first participated in the MSG Varsity Talent Show during their junior year of high school, and subsequently rose to prominence in 2012 after appearing on the American television vocal talent show The Voice. She auditioned singing Britney Spears's Toxic, and made it to the Top 6 before being eliminated in the fifth week of live shows.

Before going on the show, she was set to release her "Take Me to the Moon" EP in 2012. The EP was scrapped for unknown reasons, but it's speculated they stopped working on it due to being busy with The Voice related stuff and eventually grew tired of the songs from the EP.

Immediately following her departure from the show, she began independent work on original material. After they scrapped their Take Me to the Moon EP, they started working on a second Extended Play in 2013 with acts such as THE ELEV3N, Neon Hitch, and more. She eventually began tired of writing acoustic guitar music and wanted to experiment more which led her to create her Cry Baby theme which all started with the song "Dollhouse" when she asked her producer to play some toy sounds.

Having been a fan favorite, she was heavily supported by fans, and produced her first music video for the single Dollhouse.

Signing to Atlantic Records soon after, Melanie released their debut EP, Dollhouse (2014). The EP had 2 singles, Dollhouse & Carousel and included songs that were recorded during sessions for her then-upcoming debut, "Cry Baby". The title track Dollhouse and Carousel were the only songs that made it onto the album

Martinez later released their debut studio album, Cry Baby (2015), which debuted at number 6 on the Billboard 200 and was certified platinum by the RIAA. It currently has over 2.6 billion streams on Spotify and all of the album tracks are certified by the RIAA.

Martinez released her second studio album β€œK-12” along with an hour and a half long film with the same name on September 6, 2019, featuring hits such as "Show & Tell" "Nurse's Office" "Strawberry Shortcake". They then released the accompanying After School EP on September 25, 2020.

Martinez is often cited as one of the only major successes of The Voice. Their music mostly revolves around the protagonist of her 2 concept albums, Cry Baby. Her music is extremely metaphorical using childish themes to discuss dark topics such as family disputes, sex trafficking and murder to raise awareness around these topics and show supports to victims. They are known for their two-toned hair and dark lyrics concepts.

Play Date
Melanie Martinez Lyrics


You call me on the telephone, you feel so far away
You tell me to come over, there's some games you want to play
I'm walking to your house, nobody's home
Just me and you and you and me alone

We're just playing hide and seek
It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you
I don't want to play no games
I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you

I don't give a fuck about you anyways
Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I'm just a play date to you

Wake up in your bedroom and there's nothing left to say
When I try to talk you're always playing board games
I wish I had monopoly over your mind
I wish I didn't care all the time

We're just playing hide and seek
It's getting hard to breathe under the sheets with you
I don't want to play no games
I'm tired of always chasing, chasing after you

I don't give a fuck about you anyways
Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I'm just a play date to you

Ring around the rosy
I never know, I never know what you need
Ring around the rosy, I want to give you, want to give you
What you need

I don't give a fuck about you anyways
Whoever said I gave a shit 'bout you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I'm just a play date to you

You know I give a fuck about you everyday
Guess it's time that I tell you the truth
If I share my toys, will you let me stay?
Don't want to leave this play date with you
