After School Tracklist
In January 2020, Martinez announced via an Instagram story that she would release a seven-song EP connected to K-12 sometime in Spring 2020. She also confirmed that it would feature the scrapped K-12 track “Fire Drill” and “Copy Cat”, her collaboration with Tierra Whack.
Melanie initially changed the tracklist to contain 6 songs, and ultimately decided to stick with 7 songs in July 2020, with original singles “Fire Drill” and “Copy Cat” removed from the tracklist.

Why did Melanie release the After School EP?
I started writing After School in 2017 with the intention of it being connected to K-12 as a little bonus thing but I kept writing and so the 3 songs I intended on releasing ended up turning into a 7-song EP.

Does Melanie feel the After School EP has elements of K-12?
The After School EP sonically has elements of K-12 within it, as well as elements of new music that is yet to come. It kind of is a transitional piece that is much more personal and less tied to Crybaby. It’s a marker for my growth in life. It’s like standing on a bridge between my old self and my new self, understanding that what’s on the other side of the bridge is brand new territory.
