This song tells about how our modern society objectifies women. The society, including the girls strawberry, forces and expects girls, starting from the young age, to look perfect at every occasion.
Many women under such pressure try to change their bodies to fit the standards.

In the film which accompany the album, this song plays in the scene where Cry Baby sits atop a cake. Melanie Martinez said of the scene, “It’s representative of how body is looked at by society.
