What it is
"Show & Tell" is the fourth track on Melanie Martinez's 2019 album K-12, written with and produced by Michael Keenan. It explores the public's expectation that performers be flawless and the feeling of being put on display, with personal boundaries ignored. In the accompanying K-12 film, her character is turned into a puppet and made to perform for classmates.
