Mrs. Potato Head


"Mrs. Potato Head" is a song by American singer Melanie Martinez. It was released in 2015 as part of her debut studio album, "Cry Baby." The song discusses society's unrealistic beauty standards and the pressure to conform to them. Melanie Martinez, the songwriter and performer of the song, offers a critical perspective on the subject and encourages self-acceptance. The track features a catchy melody and incorporates elements of pop and alternative genres. A notable curiosity about the song is that the music video includes a concept where Melanie transforms into a "doll" version of herself, representing the pressure to conform to societal norms.
