The song is about her getting fired at the bakery she used to work in when she was in high school and they made her stay when they needed her.

Her songs usually have a lot of metaphors but this one is legit about a bakery LOL

Pay attention to the signs on the building in the intro they say “BLM, No Pigs Allowed, Defund The Police” One reason why I love Melanie

The song is abt how she worked at a bakery in high school in order to make money to invest in music and art Usually her songs have deeper meanings but this one was just abt a bakery lmfao You guys should try to react to the k-12 album

This song is about her personal experience of her working at a bakery.

Yes Melanie Martinez- Dollhouse. She's literally a story teller.

*All her songs have ton of metafors like all of them, but literally this is legit about a bakery lmao.*

2:36 but it IS about a literal bakery y'all I- 🤦‍♀️🤣

Melanie Martinez is truly unique. Whenever you see her songs, you see creativity, imagination, and sometimes creepy. But there is always a deeper meaning in her songs, whether it is sad, happy, or just mentioning how she truly felt in a situation. Melanie Martinez creates her own world, those bunnies you see there, are there because they where her group when she worked at the Bakery. Not only that, but her songs connect. That’s why it’s best to start at the beginning, I’d say it’s best to start off with the song “Dollhouse,” her world starts off with her in an abusive family. Anyway, besides her other songs, talking about this song in general, in the beginning, you see a vehicle pass by, but in that vehicle, you see a wolf, which also connects to a song she made called “Tag your it,” which is mentioning human trafficking. You can also see the posters at the left side of the bakery which says “BLM” “Defund the Police” and “No Pigs Allowed.” Little details like these, aren’t worth losing. Then when you see the woman walking with the cookie back inside her house, she is referred to as “Mary” in the song, and she was the abusive boss, so when you see her cutting the cookie, that’s just Melanie’s visual of how she felt her Boss treating her, aka “Mary.” She was apparently abusive, and hurtful. And if you didn’t focus to much on the way Melanie looked and how she danced, you can see cupcakes on the walls that are referencing her dolls. In the scene where Melanie’s face was widening, it was her being subconscious. And the blood in her mouth was referencing another song she named “Mad Hatter.” And the last part of the video of how she was acting after she shoved the sword into her mouth, was to demonstrate how crazy she went, how much pain she felt, that she wanted to end it. So yeah, Melanie is more then just a good singer, and dancer. Her songs are like stories, but those short lines, makes you think deeply about the way someone actually feels. Her songs talk about real life problems. Situations you just have to face. You have to overcome them. Melanie is just a human like us after all. We all have our moments where we were hurt, physically, mentally, or emotionally.

It’s actually about her working at a bakery she hated lol to make money for her music. Just in a ultra creative way.

I love Melanie Martinez 😭❤️❤️. Her music is so different, but has huge messages in them.

Melanie writes all her songs, and even designed her outfit in this music video😌

she sends out vitally important messages especially to young girls who are insecure in her songs as well :)

yall should react to her songs "pity party" and "class fight"

Love the fact ya'll reacting to so many artists now, I salute you both for expanding your horizons with these reactions 💯

It’s kind of ironic, but the song is actually about how she was fired from a bakery 😂

It’s literally about a bakery this time guys 😂

this song is actually talking about a bakery that she use to work at

Melanie Martinez was one of the voice contestants who was on team adam back in season 3 and was one of the top 6 rounds that was eliminated

Yesss! Would love to see some more Melanie videos!

If you want to know the entire Cry Baby story then listen to Cry Baby (album) first along with the music videos, then watch k-12 the movie for free on KZfaq. her EP just released has the same themes but it’s from her point of view

Yall rly are in my top 3 as far as reactors lol I love that yall can vibe to so many diff genres ♡

If ya wanna keep following Melanie then I suggest reacting to her first album: Cry Baby which is all about the beginning stages of life for the character of the same name. (Cry Baby) The album not only goes into the character’s life/early childhood, but also delves into some real hard hitting topics like depression, infidelity in relationships, sexual abuse, and societal beauty standards for women. MUCH LOVE! 💖

PLEASE REACT MORE TO MELANIE MARTINEZ OMG SHES SUCH A DOPE ARTIST WHO DOESNT GET ENOUGH RECOGNITION 😭🥺

It actually is about a bakery that she worked in when she was in high school.

She has 2 albums and 1 film! Y’all should react to all of her videos!

Damn the editing, thumbnail, setups and of course the genuineness. U both seem like actually meant to do this stuff. I genuinely believe u both deserve more

The funny thing is that she does all those things they said lol she sings she raps she dances and acts its awesome

Yall need to do more Melanie reactions ^_^

The song is about how people have used her for money when she needed to go and it's about doing a job even if you don't want to in order to be able to live your dreams.

Her albums are conceptual so you have to watch them, and the music videos in order.

This reaction is so entertaining to watch ahhahshahha you both move the same way

melanie martinez produces her songs and makes the videos and she also made a movie and she autographed it and sang it she is an example to follow

Y’all should react to Doll House, it’s one of her songs that’s a lil easier to disect but all of her songs have very deep meanings

Melanie Martinez raps from time to time! At the end of Nymphology there’s a rap part. She also did a collab with the rapper Tierra Wack in their song CopyCat !!

It’s Melanie Martinez she can’t make a song without a creepy twist I love it

This is not about a bakery I died 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 subscribed

Omg u guys should react to all Melanie’s videos

Melanie Martinez is a very unique and talented artist. You can never compare her to any other artist. To understand her work you have to go back to her first EP called the“Dollhouse EP”. After that you go to her Debut Album “Cry Baby”. Crybaby is an album full of songs we can relate to that we deal with in our personal lives. When you buy the album it comes with a Story book, the story is about a character named Cry Baby, and crybaby goes through things that makes her go insane and makes her sad, but at the end, it makes her who she is and she falls in love with the person she’s become and grown into. She has directed music videos to the album and she plays the Character Cry Baby and they’re all connected so you have to watch them in order. Then she released “Crybaby’s Extra Clutter EP” Next you have K-12. The second album which comes with a movie she’s written and directed. In this album she sings about the things that go on outside of our personal lives, the things we deal with in society. And it’s a continuation of Cry Baby’s story. Crybaby is going to school she meets friends, they plan to escape the school because it is so corrupted like the government. She uses a lot of metaphors within her lyrics and visuals so you have to pay attention to that. Last but not least is her latest “After School EP” She’s only writing songs to help people heal in some way, to help them understand what life is all about. She’s not in it to release singles and win awards. She an artist who sings about topics other artists don’t. That’s what makes her unique and her imagination when it comes to visuals is very talented and wild. And every album she puts out has a theme. Looking at the titles of the albums and aesthetics you’ll notice it. And The Bakery is about how she got fired at a bakery she used to work at after school.

The sword I feel like is representing the queen of swords tarot card. Queen of swords energy

I love Melanie Martinez so much

Normally her songs have a lot of metaphors but this is just about how she worked at a bakery lmao. Id totally recommend the rest of her stuff, my favorite songs are Tag Youre It, Dollhouse, The Principal, Strawberry Shortcake, Orange Juice, Test Me and Numbers simply for their lyrics and just how perfect they are.

the song is about her personal experiences from working at a bakery. she also puts a lot of metaphors in her songs and hidden messages in the music video. at the beginning of the mv, on the building it has a blm sign

Y'all should listen to some of her other music she's amazing 💖💖💖

melanies from queens new york. she was on the voice and after losing she pursued music on her own and became huge. this songs off her ep "after school". it's an extension off her last album k-12 (with a film) except her last two albums are telling a story about a character called crybaby and this new ep is solely her and her experiences.

Watching her movie would be iconic

Ok. This song is based (partly) on her experience working at a bakery as a teen. BUT BUT BUT its also about how producers and managers "cut into" their artists creativity and squeeze as much as they can to make more dough. Hence, starting at a bakery, being turned into literal dough, baked, packaged and then having all of the jelly (her soul and creativity) spill out! Hope this helps!

I suggest you listen to some of her other songs! This one is more lighthearted than her others which have deep meanings!

YES people in the comment section...this song was explained by Melanie that she's talking about her experience with the bakery she worked at- but ppl are allowed to make other interpretations too because it's arts! It doesn't have to be rigid and exactly like what's the artist says.

3:56 my mans was ready to buy some shoes

She first appeared on the voice but didn’t win. Her first album is called crybaby, one of the songs was used for American horror story, which is how I found her. Her second album is called k-12 and it came out as a film (it’s on KZfaq). The bakery is apart of her EP called After School. Her music contains a lot about mental health and her political stance and well love!

You should react to high School sweetheart from Melanie Martinez I love the music video for that song

this song is about Melanie being fired from her bakery job in high school, to save up for her music, and now I will walk you through on the lyrics, what they mean or what I think they mean, "Pack it, box it flip it top it, with a bow tie ribbon, stop it, eating all the rainbow cookies, pies are flying through the roof" Meaning how she baked the stuff. "Not my first pick, but I'll do it, make the cash rise, stop em, move quick, out this shithole with a new whip, cream on top, and boutta prove it," , meaning, when she started the job, everything was fine and dandy, and the bakery job wasn't her first choice as a job, but she did it anyway, and since she was new, SHE WAS MAKIN ALL THAT CASH BOOOOOOOI. "bla bla, pack it box it, we already explained this, moving on "My boss says, mother Mary, catch me slippin through the concrete, show now mercy step right on me, little dab, send me to pergatory," Meaning, at first, all the other people, her boss was being mean to, but she was "slippin through the concrete, but then, the boss started to turn on her *as the boss did with everyone else there* "The bakery, tryna make some more, they expect me, to stay when I should go, grab the bag, for when they cross the door, it ain't for me to roll, it's bringin stress, for me to raise the door, " Pretty self explainitory, but I'll explain it anyway. when Melanie was about to go, the boss would say something like "Oh, your doing so good, please stay and work," Even tough the boss was being mean to her, that was the only time she was nice, and she had to already grab a bag, for when someone came in, because everyone that came in always bought something, but it brought stress. "pack it box it bla bla," "all the cherys, the way they all go, knock em down like, she your dodge ball, little mess up and she's angry, one downfall, she blames the whole team," saying, every time Melanie messed up, the boss would scream at everyone. "PACK BOX FLIP BLA," "THE BAKE YOUR... I'M NOT A PEICE OF CAKE! WAIT SHE'S STILL SINGING THE CHORUS WTF!?"

Her album Crybaby told the story of a character called Crybaby. It is filled with child metaphors like alphabets and sippy cups, all actually discussing pretty dark themes. K-12, her second album, was made as a movie and uses school metaphors, while still talking about intense stuff. The Bakery is part of her newest EP, which just has a few odds and ends she's written

the fact that this song is literally about a bakery LMAO

She started on the voice and got her first album out on 2014 Her albums follow a story (have to be heard in order) first one is CryBaby and second one is K-12, this song if from an EP!!!!!!

you guys should react tot he full k-12 plzzz uts so good at has lots pf meanings

you guys should react more to her stuff, she got good music

You should watch some videos about her also react to the songs:Sippy cup,Drama Club,Orange juice,milk and cookies,and Recess

the song is quite literally about a bakery, melanie wrote this song about a place she used to work at and got fired after 4 days because she dropped a bunch of cannolis

You should listen to the k-12 album, which is actually from her movie (K-12). It's AMAZING. The mvs are short because the scenes continue in the movie, everyone gets that wrong

React to Detention, Show and Tell, Carousel and Mad Hatter! Those are really good songs by her

It's basically about unenthusiastically working at a bakery (thats her own experience), but it can really relate to anyone unenthusiastically working at a job they don't want to be at, but they do it just to make the money. It can also relate to her record label and her feeling like a product, but the gist of the song is working somewhere you know you won't stay at, but it's purely to "raise the dough"

Them: -This ain’t about a bakeryyy- Me: *Actually it is-*

Would love more Melanie!

When it's literally about her part time job at a bakery 😀🤦🏻‍♀️🤣

React to more songs like Mad Hatter, Show and Tell, Nurses Office, Teachers Pet, Recess, etc.

Her entire Cry Baby album is amazing and worth a listen

the song is literally ab her getting fired from a bakery she worked at in highschool lol

defo a metaphor the music industry lol

YESSSS, react to her first album, Cry Baby

Please do react to her first mv or the crybaby era . It's old but gold and i like your reaction to our daddy mel. Pls do more

You should react to her songs all in order

i NEED them to listen to her other songs

It's not "jUsT aBoUt A bAkErY" like everyone is saying, it's about working any job where you are just taken for granted, over worked and under appreciated. It's about just doing it while you have to, to make the money to support your real dreams before you dip "not my first pick, but I'll do it, make the cash right so I can move quick out this shit hole in the new whip, cream on top, I'm about to prove it" ... "it aint for me to roll it out, it's just for me to raise the dough". Some even think it's related to her experience in the music industry, being treated wrong. In the video Melanie was being abused by literally being baked into dough, and the 'pure old christian lady' was the one who bought her and cut her up alive and ate her while she bled jelly. Which I see as commentary on how the most outwardly pure people are sometimes the worst people. Also the lyrics say "my boss is Mother Mary, catch me slipping through the concrete. Show no mercy, step right on me, stiletto death, send me to purgatory"

You have to react to Melanie Martinez old videos... please react to mad hatter. She has always had crazy videos and concepts... she’s a genius

you should react to her new After School EP, The Bakery is from it. You should also react to her song Oranga Juice

In her song the gingerbread she does say a line close to “my heart bleeds jelly” so I get it all of her songs are usually about a character named crybaby who goes through a lot of real world problems she has three albums now (one is also a move) and a lot of other stuff . I don’t know much about her but she was on the voice and won. She’s also Latina

Yess

This is Melanie My top 4 songs #4 orange juice #3 fire drill #2 dead to me #1 test me

Ok so the cupcakes on the wall in the background when she's dancing, are actually characters from a music video she made 3 years ago called mad Hatter! PLEASE CHECK OUT THAT MUSIC VIDEO!!!! AND HER 3 ALBUMS, cry baby, K-12 and after school EP!!! The bakery is actually from her EP album which is her newest! Thank you!

Melanie got her start on the voice. And dollhouse is a good start. But cry baby’s was her first m/v and come first chronologically.

One of my friends and my sister can really relate to this.

in order to really understand her you have to go wayyy back to the beginning to her first album cry baby and I would love it if you did so

The song is about that when she was in high school she needed money so she worked at a bakery then she got fired The bunnies are there because Melanie had a pet bunny when she was younger but she gave it away to a friend thinking that they can still be friends sad🥺

The truck in the beginning is from tag you're it another song she has

This song is literally about how she used to work in a bakery but got fired

It was about her bakery job in highschool

I heard this song was about how her label isnt letting her be her or sum like that

Y’all NEED to react to more Melanie martinez her storytelling is like no other. React to Doll house, Mr. Potato Head and K-12 (her last album). She also just dropped an EP which this song is from called After School

lol. you're right Melanie Martinez's videos are kinda hard to understand . in fact on my channel i've reacted to her bakery music video as well and explained some of the underlying themes. if you'd be interested check it out on my channel. Melanie is great i would recommend watching her k-12 film...it was a trip!!

I wont tell what the meaning behind it is because like half the comments already have, but please listen to her other songs because this video was a little out of her comfort zone, as you can see in her other albums.

LOLLL it’s actually about a bakery that she worked out for money and they treated her bad

This is legit about a bakery she worked at in high school lmao

You should react to her crybaby album and k-12

Listen to the crybaby the first album But in order and it a book she made of it and then her Second album k-12 Which is a movie she made on KZfaq free.

I hope you guys watch her movie K-12

Pleaseee react to her whole Afterschool EP. vibes

It’s literally about a bakery that she was fired from💀

The bunnies are just because melanie genuinely loves bunnies
