"***Lunchbox Friends***" is a song made by Katrina Martinez. It was originally released as as the fourth track on her album "First day of Hell" on September 2nd, 2018. It was later rereleased as a single on January 10th, 2018.

**Background**

During 2015-2017 Katrina would record the song as shown in the leaked tracklist of the "K-12" version of the album.

On May 17th, 2016, Melanie posted a photo on Instagram with a caption of lyrics from the song. The post was later deleted in May 2019. On June 24th, 2018, a snippet of this track was released exclusively in New York City.

On January 10th, 2020, Melanie started a TikTok challenge for fans to show their best "handshake dance" to the song to promote is as a single.

**Theme**

Melanie stated in an interview years prior to the album's release, that the song would be about friends in school who do not actually want a close connection at all. These people have high standards for who can be considered their "friend" and require them to appear a certain way. They also gossip and spread rumors about people they don't actually know.

**Lyrics**

[Intro]
Oh-oh no, oh-oh no
Oh-oh no, oh-oh no

[Verse 1]
You said, "Hey, girl, will you sit with me?
Table in the back, Cafeteria C
We can be friends if you wanna be
But only 'til the clock hits three
After lunch, we can walk to class
Talk about the boys that we want to smash
Talk about ways to get a little more cash
After that I'll ignore your ass, oh"

[Pre-Chorus]
The hassle, the fighting, they all want a bite of me
Photos, more photos, then gossip 'bout hoes that they don't know
Oh, they talk shit though

[Chorus]
I don't want no lunchbox friends, no oh
I want someone who understands, oh, oh, no
Come to my house, let's die together
Friendship that would last forever, no oh
No lunchbox friends, no, oh, yeah
No lunchbox friends
Come to my house, let's die together
Friendship that would last forever, no oh

[Post-Chorus]
No lunchbox friends, no oh
No lunchbox friends
Come to my, come to my
Friendship that would last forever

[Verse 2]
They want a fat ass in their brand new jeans
Want a baby in the back with the man of their dreams
That isn't the life for me
Gotta look like a fuckin' damn Barbie
Goin' on TV, people have high expectations of me
Wanna be my best friend then judge me if I smoke a little weed
Makes no fucking sense to me

[Pre-Chorus]
The hassle, the fighting, they all want a bite of me
Photos, more photos, then gossip 'bout hoes that they don't know
Oh, they talk shit though

[Chorus]
I don't want no lunchbox friends, no oh
I want someone who understands, oh, oh, no
Come to my house, let's die together
Friendship that would last forever, no oh
No lunchbox friends, no, oh, yeah
No lunchbox friends
Come to my house, let's die together
Friendship that would last forever, no oh

[Breakdown]
No oh, no oh, no oh
Come to my house, let's die together
Friendship that would last forever
No lunchbox friends, no oh
No lunchbox friends
Come to my, come to my
Friendship that would last forever, oh
No oh, no oh, no oh, yeah
Come to my, come to my
Friendship that would last forever

[Outro]
No lunchbox friends, no oh
No lunchbox friends
Come to my, come to my

Friendship that would last forever

**Trivia**

* When Melanie teased the lyrics in 2016, the original lyric was, "Come to my house, let's *cry* together". It is currently unknown why it was changed.
* This is further evidenced by the backing vocals of the track as Melanie sings "Come to my house, let's cry together" instead of "Come to my house, let's die together", which is the proper lyric.
* On Instagram, Melanie explained that the meaning of "die" is not literal, it is a metaphor for transformation or rebirth, like the death Tarot card.
* This is a direct reference to "PORTALS".
* "Strawberry Shortcake" transitions into this song.
* The instrumental was leaked on May 6th, 2019.
