Once I was done making my album 'Cry Baby,' I knew I wanted to make a vintage-inspired baby bottle perfume.— Melanie Martinez

I'll always cling to these little girl dresses at vintage shops, and I can never wear them because they're so tiny!— Melanie Martinez
Please understand that I make music to express myself, and if you know anything about me, you know that I'm nothing but honest.— Melanie Martinez
'Cry Baby' is like this fairytale version of me. A lot of it is based on real events, and some of it is made up to make it more whimsical.— Melanie Martinez
