What it is
"Dollhouse" is a song by Melanie Martinez, co-written with the production duo Kinetics & One Love. It was released in February 2014 as the lead single of her debut EP Dollhouse and later appeared on her album Cry Baby (2015). It portrays a dysfunctional family that keeps up a perfect public image. Martinez said it is also a metaphor for how people view the seemingly perfect lives of celebrities.
