"After School" is the upcoming fourth extended play (EP) by Melanie Martinez. It is set to be released sometime in 2020.

Background

In an interview with V Magazine, Melanie stated that she would release songs that were in-line with K-12, but were "more personal and more vulnerable".

When the K-12 Tour began, fans began to speculate that Melanie would be releasing an EP because the image displayed on the video screen during Fire Drill would show a pink composition notebook with the words "After School" written on the front.[1]

During the concert at O2 City Hall in Newcastle, Melanie announced that Fire Drill would be officially released at some point in 2020. It was later confirmed through Melanie's Instagram story that the song would be a track on After School.

On January 20th and 21st, 2020, fans reported hearing Melanie rehearsing new songs, which are likely from the EP. However, she did not perform any of these songs during her concerts.[2][3][4]

On February 6th, 2020, an interview was released where Melanie stated that she intended to release Fire Drill by the end of the month; however, it has not yet been released. She also scrapped one track from the EP,[5] although she later confirmed in a Beats 1 interview that the EP would remain with seven tracks.[6]

On February 9th, 2020, Melanie confirmed through her Instagram story that the EP would be out in spring, and that a song featuring "one of [her] fav artists" would be coming out "sooner than you think".[7] The next day, she released a single titled Copy Cat, featuring Tierra Whack.

Theme

According to Melanie, the EP follows the story elements that are present in her sophomore album, K-12; however, the songs will be more personal to Melanie rather than relating to her character, Cry Baby.
