*Untitled EP/Album

"**Toxic**" is a cover by Katrina Martinez. It was intended to be the twenty-first and a single on her Untitled EP/Album and opening track and single on The Voice EP, however, both projects were later scrapped. It was later released on December 12th, 2014 as a cover single.

## Background

Katrina would temporarily put the Untitled EP/Album on hold due to deciding that she wanted to go on The Voice. During this time she would form the idea of a making a deluxe EP consisting of the songs she covered on The Voice.

Katrina used this song for her Blind Audition on The Voice. During her performance, three of the four coaches turned to pick her for their team: Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton. Christina Aguilera was the only coach who didn't turn to pick Melanie. Out of the three, Melanie chose Adam.

With Bill Appleberry Katrina would produce all her Voice covers with one extra cover she sang on the voice that didn't make the final cut as a surprise cover. She would also ask Caitlin Michele if she wanted to go to record with her in the studio and have a part of a song and she agreed.

From leaked files we can gather that it was likely going to be released as a single for the Untitled EP/Album and The Voice EP.

## Theme

Toxic refers to being addicted to a lover. The song is about a girl who becomes “obsessed with a guy.” She refers to her sexual interest as “toxic,” like as if it were a drug.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**

Baby, can't you see I'm calling?

A guy like you should wear a warning

It's dangerous, now I'm fallin'

There's no escape, I can't wait

I need a hit, baby, give me it

You're dangerous, now I'm lovin' it

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Too high, can't come down

Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round

Do you feel me now?

**[Chorus]**

Taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

You're toxic, I'm slipping under

With a taste of your poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't you know that you're toxic?

Man, I love what you do

Don't you know that you're toxic?

**[Verse 2]**

It's getting late to give you up

I took a sip from my devil's cup

Slowly, it's taking over me

**[Pre-Chorus]**

Too high, can't come down

Losing my head, spinnin' 'round and 'round

Do you feel me now?

**[Chorus]**

Taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

You're toxic, I'm slipping under

With a taste of your poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't ya know that you're toxic?

Man, I love what you do

Don't ya know that you're toxic?

Yeah, I love what ya do

Don't ya know that you're toxic?

**[Chorus]**

Taste of your lips, I'm on a ride

You're toxic, I'm slipping under

With a taste of a poison paradise

I'm addicted to you

Don't ya know that you're toxic?

Man, I love what you do

Don't ya know that you're toxic?

**[Outro]**

Intoxicate me now with your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now, I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now with your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now with your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now, I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now with your lovin' now

I think I'm ready now

Intoxicate me now
