"Dollhouse" is the debut single by American singer-songwriter Melanie Martinez. Written alongside production duo Kinetics & One Love, the song was released on February 9, 2014 as the lead single of her debut EP of the same name, and later featured on her debut studio album, Cry Baby (2015). Lyrically, "Dollhouse" is about a dysfunctional family, who, according to Martinez, is "hiding being a perfect plastic facade". Martinez has also stated that "Dollhouse" is a metaphor for how people view celebrities and their seemingly perfect public lives.
The song was featured in a preview for the ABC Family series Pretty Little Liars.[1]
