“Play Date” is a song that paints a picture of adult situations within childlike settings. It tells the story of Cry Baby feeling like she’s nothing more than a friend to someone who seems to care very little about her, even though they get together quite often.
She wishes she didn’t care about how...
Play Date Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You call me on the telephone, you feel so far away
You tell me to come over, there's some games you wanna play
I'm walkin' to your house, nobody's home
Just me and you and you and me alone
[Pre-Chorus]
We're just playin' hide and seek
It's gettin' hard to breathe
Under the sheets with you
I don't wanna play no games
I'm tired of always chasin'
Chasin' after you
[Chorus]
I don't give a fuck about you anyways
Who ever said I give a shit 'bout you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I'm just a playdate to you
[Verse 2]
Wake up in your bedroom and there's nothin' left to say
When I try to talk, you're always playin' board games
I wish I had monopoly over your mind
I wish I didn't care all the time
[Pre-Chorus]
We're just playin' hide and seek
It's gettin' hard to breathe
Under the sheets with you
I don't wanna play no games
I'm tired of always chasin'
Chasin' after you
[Chorus]
I don't give a fuck about you anyways
Who ever said I give a shit about you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I'm just a playdate to you
[Bridge]
Ring around the Rosie
I never know, I never know what you need
Ring around the Rosie
I wanna give you, wanna give you what you need
[Chorus]
I don't give a fuck about you anyways
Who ever said I give a shit about you?
You never share your toys or communicate
I guess I'm just a playdate to you
[Outro]
You know I give a fuck about you everyday
Guess it's time that I tell you the truth
If I share my toys, will you let me stay?
Don't wanna leave this playdate with you

What do the lyrics mean?
This song is metaphorical way of saying that Melanie feels she’s only being used by the guy. He only wants her when he’s lonely and never wants anyone else to see her with him. The chorus expresses a sort of lying nonchalant response to him hurting her, but she really does care.
Will there be a music video for the song?
In an interview with Idolator on May 8, 2020, Martinez says a music video for the song will be shot at home and released, despite the song being released five years ago in 2015:
I’m actually writing a music video right now and then going to gather the things necessary to make it and shoot it at hom...
What did Melanie Martinez say about "Play Date"?
Martinez' memory of recording the song:
I was in New York in a studio in midtown smoking weed and I wrote it pretty quickly. Jennifer Decilveo co-wrote it with me and I just remember us screaming that chorus with excitement. I felt it was a precise and complete expression of the feeling of wanting...
