"Evil Queen" is the fifth track by Melanie Martinez featured on her second studio album, Fairytale Dreams.
Theme[]
This song is about how Sophia becomes the most popular girl in school, but with all the struggle she's been through, she isn't exactly a nice one. Sometimes she wishes that everyone wasn't afraid of her so that she could make some friends.

Italics= DFG
Bold= Both
Underlined= Melanie autotuned to have a childlike voice
La la la la
Na na na na
La la la la
Na na na na
La la la la
Na na na na
Na na na na, la la la la
I've lost all hope
When I used to be a shining star
Get out of my way
Unless you wanna leave with a scar
Stick around
If you wanna see what happens next
Or you can
Leave the bank and cash your cheques
I'm the evil queen and my rule
Is vicious and it's cruel
I'm the evil queen
Wish I wasn't so mean
La la la la
Na na na na
La la la la
Na na na na
La la la la
Na na na na
Na na na na, la la la la
I used to float
On a river made of stars
Thinking she'd be great
Now she's nothing but a used car
Stick around
If you wanna see what happens next
Or you can
Leave the bank and cash your cheques
She's the evil queen and her rule
Is vicious and it's cruel
She's the evil queen
Wish she wasn't so mean
The evil queen
She's a disgrace
She fills me with hate
Wish that they loved me
The evil queen
She's a disgrace
She fills me with hate
Wish I wasn't so mean
I'm the evil queen and my rule
Is vicious and it's cruel
I'm the evil queen
Wish I wasn't so mean
La la la la
Na na na na
La la la la
Na na na na
La la la la
Na na na na
Na na na na, la la la la
Music Video[]
The music video is in a double feature with BFF Necklace. At the beginning, Sophia states that Lucy Hopperton dropped out of school because the drugs made her too stupid to learn anything and that she is now the most popular girl in school. The rest of the video is Sophia bullying other students, and Cry Baby dressed as an angel on her shoulder begs her to stop, well Sophia tries to tell that she'd like to stop, but she can't. At the end, Sophia drops out of school, sick of having to see these people that hate her.
