Decided to do a proper timeline for a beautiful Cry Baby era, including all key events, that may help to create more accurate concepts for this album, since we know there were at least 4 of them. In this timeline I was supposed to show the month of origin of released songs, since we generally don’t know when were final versions for them were made

Random information

Spoiler

 

Random information:

– Where Do Babies Come From? was going to be on deluxe of the album at one point

–  When tracklist of Cry Baby leaked on July 16, Half Hearted was on deluxe edition, but on July 24, after Melanie officially revealed tracklist, it was substituted by Play Date

– There is potentially version of Mrs. Potato Head’s video, that features deleted scenes, some photos of them leaked

 

Rumors:

– From what Melanie said, there are potentially original versions of Tag, You’re It and Milk and Cookies before both of them were changed to fit the story of Cry Baby

– Pacify Her seemingly was going to become a single in 2017, due to it being the only Cry Baby tracks randomly registered in that year

– Mad Hatter was supposed to be the first single, then it was replaced by Pity Party

– Unknown version of Pity Party https://instaud.io/hXy#0:43.2 (more likely fake)
