Bubblegum Bitch
Marina& The Diamonds Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got a figure like a pin-up, got a figure like a doll
Don't care if you think I'm dumb, I don't care at all
Candy bear, sweetie pie, wanna be adored
I'm the girl you'd die for

I'll chew you up and I'll spit you out
'Cause that's what young love is all about
So pull me closer and kiss me hard
I'm gonna pop your bubblegum heart

I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch

Queentex, latex, I'm your wonder maid
Life gave me some lemons so I made some lemonade
Soda pop, soda pop, baby, here I come
Straight to number one

Oh, dear diary, I met a boy
He made my doll heart light up with joy
Oh, dear diary, we fell apart
Welcome to the life of Electra Heart

I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch

I think I want your, your American tan
Oh, oh, oh
I think you're gonna be my biggest fan
Oh, oh, oh

I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips
Hit me with your sweet love, steal me with a kiss
I'm Miss Sugar Pink, liquor, liquor lips




I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch
I'm gonna be your bubblegum bitch

Overall Meaning

The song "Bubblegum Bitch" by Marina & The Diamonds is a satirical take on the typical pop star image. The opening lyrics showcase a figure that is objectified and admired for her doll-like and pin-up physique. She is also seen as unintelligent, as she states that she "doesn't care" if people think she is "dumb". The chorus delves into the power dynamic of young love, where the singer is in control and can "chew up and spit out" her partner. She is there to be adored and worshiped, and her goal is to "pop" their bubblegum heart.


The second verse introduces the image of Electra Heart, Marina's alter-ego for her second studio album. The lyrics describe her as a "Miss Sugar Pink" with "liquor, liquor lips", playing into the sexualized image of a pop star. The bridge mentions a desire for an American tan and to have the biggest fan, poking fun at the superficial and shallow nature of the industry. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the bubblegum image that is prevalent throughout the song.
