"Fairy Dance" is an unreleased song by Melanie Martinez. It was recorded in the sessions for her third studio album, PORTALS, however, it was later scrapped.
The full song was leaked on November 4, 2021.
Background & theme[]
The song is one of multiple scrapped songs developed and partially recorded during a month of isolation with collaborators, Kinetics & One Love. From February-March 2021 during their stay in Hawaii, Melanie stated on her Instagram post:
🍄💕🌙
In my little cave of creation, isolated for a month in Hawaii. Writing a film and album I feel destined to make. No human interaction, just killing dead parts of myself to make room for the new. ✨✨✨✨ When I create it is the only time the past, present and future all meet me at once. Releasing past feelings from past moments and past lives, by keeping the channel open/antenna out in the present, to be able to co-create with the universe something that will be felt, seen, and heard in the future.
Until then 🧚🏼♀️
She then proceeded to post multiple Instagram stories[1]:
I died here, was rebirthed and transformed. The amount of synchronicities I've experienced in this house is staggering. Couldn't have dreamt of a more sacred space to create this album. Only ever coming here to finish this project. 🌻🌷💕
So many deep layers of this album/film were unlocked here🥺 I feel beyond tapped in with my angels and ancestors and truly believe that every melody and every lyric on this record came straight from them.
The entire song consists solely of an instrumental with occasional humming by Melanie, lacking any theme or contextual information regarding its creation.
