“High School Sweethearts” by Melanie Martinez
The overall project upon which “High School Sweethearts” is featured is based on the theme of Melanie Martinez still being in school. And in this track, the singer is addressing her sweethearts in high school, as in male suitors who come her way as a student of the titular institution.
And basically, what she is telling them is not to be a “a waste of (her) time”. That is to say that they should not even approach her unless they are ready for a long-term commitment, as in marriage. Moreover, they must be prepared to genuinely display love throughout. And if a guy deceives her into believing that he is so just to achieve his own aims, she will “rip (his) [expletive] face apart”. Simply put, she’ll seek retribution at full force if deceived.
Did Melanie Martinez write “High School Sweethearts”?
Yes, she did. However, Melanie didn’t compose the song all by herself. She received writing assistance from songwriter Michael Keenan (who is also credited as the tune’s producer).

Did Melanie Martinez release “High School Sweethearts” as a single?
No. Her “K-12” album wasn’t supported by any singles.
How about the line ‘step seven this one goes to eleven’?
Haha, been searching about this as well xD
SAME haha
i think she means that step is the most important
It means “step 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11” are all one and the same. She did that to emphasize the importance of “no cheating really means NO CHEATING”
maybe it referred to song eleven (teachers pet) because the teacher dies because he cheated
It is basically talking about angelita *if that’s how you spell her name* from teachers pet
I don’t understand that one but I love this song
THIS SONG IS JUST MY LIFE <3 <3 <3
I think it’s about Pacify Her from her Crybaby album
Wow that cool I love Melanie.
I love her songs
I wonder in the song Teacher’s Pet, was she the teacher’s pet?
If you knew the song and what it meant, you would know it’s her best friend that is in love with the teacher and he is aware of that and always flirts with her, listen to the lyrics carefully before calling yourself a Melanie fan!
Amen. I hate when people say that their Melanie fan but yet never understand her lyrics in her music its frustrating…
wow it’s not that deep + they didn’t call themselves a “Melanie fan”
I’m the song it she’s portraying herself in the position of her friend not everyone has seen the film you know
Haha, I always ask this question and it tells me it and I always forget it lol-
what is being written in chalk in high school sweethearts?
Why does Highschool Sweethearts line,”Can we just be honest these are the requirements if you think you can be my (one and only true love)” part sound sooo familiar to me? Do ya’ll know if that part and way she said love is from a song?
i’m pretty sure it’s about a girl not a guy tho but ok.
