She explains to DORK, “I imagine somebody who’s been in a bunch of past relationships, and they haven’t worked out for whatever reason. The guy is just too egotistical. So, you’re fed up and actually try to Frankenstein your perfect boy together. It’s honestly innocent, carefree, and cute.”
The music video for the song shows so many funny visuals. Getting inspiration from a portrait she saw at a museum, the rising star designs her man to be just like the one in the art piece. As Claire narrates what her perfect partner would be like, we start seeing her start to design a real-life Frankenstein. It’s clever like the lyrics, fun like her personality, and also enthralling like her music.

And I just wish they wouldn't fall in love then leave me so quick
I′ve been searching, don't think it's out there
Talks for hours, walks in with flowers
Dirty converse 6′2 and brown hair
Every little thing that I want
Draw the picture, color all the lines
When it′s right I'll take a test drive
Every little thing that I want
When I′m mad, he'll kiss me till I′m numb and then not treat me so bad
He makes me laugh
He's never on my nerves, gets along with my dad (my dad)
I′ve been searching, don't think it's out there
Oh, so loyal, makes me feel spoiled
He′s my daydream, never a nightmare
Every little thing that I want
Guess I gotta build my Frankenstein
Draw the picture, color all the lines
When it′s right, I'll take a test drive
Every little thing that I want
Guess I gotta build my Frankenstein
Draw the picture, color all the lines
When it′s right, I'll take a test drive
Every little thing that I want
Every little thing that I want
Every little thing that I want
Clap, clap
Guess I gotta build my Frankenstein
Draw the picture, color all the lines
When it′s right, I'll take a test drive
Every little thing that I want
Guess I gotta build my Frankenstein
Draw the picture, color all the lines
When it′s right, I'll take a test drive
Every little thing that I want
The song "Frankenstein" by Claire Rosinkranz is about how difficult it is to find the perfect partner. She starts off by expressing her frustration with boys who try to act tough and cool, but then leave her quickly after. She then sings about the qualities she desires in a partner such as loyalty, humor, someone who gets along with her dad, and someone who is never a nightmare. She emphasizes that she has been searching for this kind of person but has not found them yet. In the chorus, she acknowledges that she will have to build the perfect partner, like Frankenstein, by drawing a picture and coloring all the lines until it's right. This metaphor emphasizes how difficult it is for her to find someone who checks all the boxes, and if she wants perfection, she may have to create it herself.
Overall, the song is about how it's challenging to find the perfect partner and how Claire may have to create the perfect partner herself if she wants to be satisfied. She desires someone who is loyal, makes her feel special, and never a nightmare. The Frankenstein metaphor emphasizes that she may have to build the perfect partner herself if she wants it to be the way she wants it. In summary, the song "Frankenstein" is a relatable and refreshingly honest take on modern dating.

I love that her dad produces her music and still gives her so much freedom with what she sings about and how it sounds. Always good to see examples of healthy father daughter relationships in media
