Alphabet Boy

According to Melanie, ''Alphabet Boy'' is based off a boy who is an ex boyfriend of hers. He studied music and he used to try and "teach" her how to write songs as if there was a formula or that she wasn't writing songs correctly. It made her furious and she wanted to elaborate on that. Melanie debuted the song live at Marlin Room on June 24, 2014 and the song was officially released in 2015 on her debut album, Cry Baby.
