Recess by Melanie Martinez Song Info
''Recess'', the closing track on Melanie Martinez's second studio album K-12 is mainly about how it is important to maintain your mental health when times are rough. The pre-chorus could be touching on the music industry, as artists are often overworked and receive little breaks, while the second they take some time for themselves they are told they will get replaced by another artist. The song is also likely personal to Melanie, as she mentions her grandmother several times, quoting advice that she had given Melanie when she was young.
