“Probably "Mrs. Potato Head" or "Training Wheels". "Mrs. Potato Head" because it was the hardest song to write and it took me a while to finish it and feel good about the lyrical content. But I've had that idea in my head for so long, especially the visuals - pulling apart a Mrs. Potato face and how that doubled as a meaning for plastic surgery. "Training Wheels" because it's the only love song on the album.” FeelsWritingLongIdeasFacesSongTrainingAlbumsHardestFeel GoodWheelsVisualsPlasticPullingSurgeryPotatoesOnly LoveLyricalPlastic SurgeryTraining Wheels Author:Melanie Martinez
“I just think that pop music is very interesting in how it can reach so many people. I like that I can tell stories and I just wanted to be heard more, I guess. That's why it's pop, but in my mind I don't really view my music as pop, I don't really view it as anything. I just look at it as a picture, I like visuals.” PeopleThinkingMindLooksI CanStoriesWantedInterestingViewsHeardMusic IsPopsVisualsVery InterestingPop Music Author:Melanie Martinez
