Alphabet Boy

"Alphabet Boy" by Melanie Martinez is an alternative pop song typically played in the key of C major. Released as part of her debut studio album "Cry Baby" in 2015, Martinez wrote and performed the song. Known for her unconventional and thought-provoking lyrics, "Alphabet Boy" explores themes of power dynamics and communication within relationships. The melody features a blend of catchy hooks, electronic beats, and Martinez's distinctive vocal delivery, creating a whimsical yet edgy sonic landscape. Interestingly, the song's title references the childish taunts of an "alphabet boy" who uses his intelligence to belittle others, reflecting Martinez's penchant for blending dark themes with playful imagery.
