Album
“POSSESSION” by Melanie Martinez is about a woman trapped in a toxic and abusive relationship where her partner treats her as nothing more than a possession or object. Reduced to the role of a mere housewife, she endures constant physical and emotional abuse and neglect, putting up a facade of a perfect relationship around others out of fear while forcing herself to go along with everything he demands. By the end of the song, she finally breaks free by grabbing the keys and crashing their car into a tree while people stare, highlighting how she was seen only as an object — similar to the unreleased song Trophy Wife. Featured as the third track on her fourth studio album, HADES. The song was released as the lead single from the album on January 28, 2026.
