Martinez creates a storyline through her songs following the character Crybaby from her previous album as she enrolls in school. The school theme connects all of the tracks, as Crybaby experiences being controlled by teachers, discovers a teacher abused her friend, helps a friend through bulimia and faces many other uncomfortable issues.
