Utopia Oblivion is an album by singer/songwriter Melanie Martinez. The album was fully released on the 15th of April 2023 through Atlantic Records. The deluxe version was released three weeks later on the 6th of May. All of the songs in the album tell their own mythical story and are somewhat linked. Each song transitions into each other including track 1 and the last track, making it a loop/cycle.

On the first of April Melanie released a 30 second snippet titled 'Corpse'. It was released on Spotify and uploaded on Youtube with the album's cover as the picture. The snippet was mostly made out of sounds like birds chirping, soft breathing, wings flapping, egg cracking and many other mythical sounds. It also had harp sounds and soft instrumentals accompanied with vocalisation. The only words in the snippet are 'Hello? Hi, no the old Crybaby can't come to the phone right now...oh why?...because she's dead! (giggles)'. The words soon became quite popular in Melanie's fan base. On her Instagram the same day she posted the snippet and said that she was 'reinventing' Crybaby and that her new character would have a different name, which we later found out was 'Melzinha'.
