“Keep Fighting... This Is Bluffington” is a song recorded by Melanie Martinez for her upcoming album, “Hush Little Baby” and released as the third single on October 15th, 2018.
Background[]
Melanie teased the cover art on instagram, with the caption “This Is Bluffington bitches.”, and continued hiding lyrics within the captions of her Instagram and Twitter posts, and eventually announced that the song was going to be released in October. Melanie has made a statement about the title being similar to her other song titled “This Is Bluffington” which was a song possibly for her album “Boys Meets Girls”, But Melanie has stated that the two songs were infact different, and the title used in this song was to avoid confusion between the two.
Concept[]
The lyrics describe Melanie greeting a new student at her school, and warning the new student that the school was quite cheap and not enjoyable.
Critical Reception[]
The song received average reviews. Some critizised Melanie for her cliche high school theme, while some praised the lyrics for being “not your typical high school musical theme”
Commerical Performance[]
The song was a mild success, selling 78,184 copies, 28,293 coming from pure album sales within it’s first week. But the song failed to chart in the USA.

Enchantè
Comment-allez vous
Tres bien
Merci
Et vous
Welcome to my school
What do you like to do
I’ll show you around too
But don’t be expecting, much
There was funding, but not enough
So excuse the chipping, with the paint
I know it’s a bit rough, but you’ll get used to it
No one is nice, keep your eyes, open
You’re like a mouse in a room full of rats
Why are you cryin’
Talk about being a crybaby
Everybody already has friends, why keep tryin’
Nobody here is good, what were you expectin’
You think people are nice here, who are you kiddin’
This is Bluffington
(This is Bluffington)
You can run and go into hidin’
But the only way you know you’re safe is by fightin’
If you didn’t know, this is Bluffington
Oh why are you complainin’
Be careful at night you might go missin’
And then you’ll be wishin’
You never came to Bluffington
Remind yourself where to go
Don’t ask you’ll later know
It’s a prison here, death row
Warren’s watchin’ you never know
This is Bluffington, don’t ever borrow
Anythin’
Why are you cryin’
Talk about being a crybaby
Everybody already has friends, why keep tryin’
Nobody here is good, what were you expectin’
You think people are nice here, who are you kiddin’
This is Bluffington
(This is Bluffington)
You can run and go into hidin’
But the only way you know you’re safe is by fightin’
If you didn’t know, this is Bluffington
Nobody here is good, what were you expectin’
You think people are nice here, who are you kiddin’
This is Bluffington
(This is Bluffington)
You can run and go into hidin’
But the only way you know you’re safe is by fightin’
If you didn’t know, this is Bluffington
Baby being confident isn’t the way to kill
Prostitution is how basic bitches pay their bill
If you want to be used by the boys take diet pills
Baby being funny isn’t the way to kill
Why are you cryin’
Talk about being a crybaby
Everybody already has friends, why keep tryin’
Nobody here is good, what were you expectin’
You think people are nice here, who are you kiddin’
This is Bluffington
(This is Bluffington)
You can run and go into hidin’
But the only way you know you’re safe is by fightin’
If you didn’t know, this is Bluffington
