In an interview with ELLE, Melanie Martinez stated that the “Soap” is about being vulnerable, and also explained its background:
Everyone is allowed to be vulnerable. I think women and men and dogs and cats and ants and aliens can all express themselves and be vulnerable. […] ‘Soap’ was written abo...
[Intro]
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
[Verse 1]
Think I just remembered somethin'
I think I left the faucet runnin'
Now my words are fillin' up the tub
Darling, you're just soaking in it
But I know you'll get out the minute
You notice all your fingers prunin' up
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of being careful, tiptoe
Trying to keep the water warm
Let me under your skin
Uh-oh, there it goes
I said too much, it overflowed
Why do I always spill?
[Chorus]
I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
God, I wish I never spoke
Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap
I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
God, I wish I never spoke
Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap
[Verse 2]
Think I got myself in trouble
So I'll fill the bath with bubbles
Then I'll put the towels all away
Should've never said the word "love"
Threw a toaster in the bathtub
I'm sick of all the games I have to play
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of being careful, tiptoe
Trying to keep the water warm
Let me under your skin
Uh-oh, there it goes
I said too much, it overflowed
Why do I always spill?
[Chorus]
I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
God, I wish I never spoke
Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap
I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
God, I wish I never spoke
Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap
[Chorus]
I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
God, I wish I never spoke
Now I gotta wash, wash, mouth, mouth with soap
I feel it coming out my throat
Guess I better wash my mouth out with soap
God, I wish I never spoke
Now I gotta wash my mouth out with soap

Warren shared on her commentary playlist, “Write on Track”:
What I love so much about Melanie is, she has such a clear, solid vision for her artistry and what she wants everything to sound like, look like, writes and directs her own videos and she's—she’s just the best she’s really quite creative a...
Martinez told Fuse:
In my life, this is when I started talking to a new boy. It was really hard for me to explain or tell him how I felt, because I was scared of how he would react, so I just felt like I needed to wash out my mouth with soap, and constantly hide how I felt.
She also told ELLE in J...
