“I think that 'Cry Baby' came from a nickname I was called as a kid.” — Melanie Martinez

Cry Baby is very close to my heart. I feel like I am her in a lot of ways. I want to continue making music from her perspective.

I really loved taking photos when I was younger. I think my love for photography sparked my love for creating the visuals to support my music.

I wrote about scenarios that I was going through and then disguised them.

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