"Under The Sky" is the newest and second single from Barbie Doll, released through Songs To Love And Die By and will be on the upcoming album "Bitter Tragedy". The record was produced in March, 2016 in New York with Producer 'Jonathan Steward'. The Song is completly written by Barbie Doll/Stephanie Red. The The song is categorised as "Indie Pop" and "Alternative" but has elements of electronic and other un-specific genres. The song is the follow-up to lead single "Human", which got praised by it's message but yet under-performed. The song barely entered the Top 10 for a week at #8 but quickly died down and managed to reach the Gold Certification after a few months.
After the release of "Human" everything went silent around Melanie really quick. The promised single "Shadows" never got released and according to sources, it was duo to problems behind the scenes. After a few silent months, it looks like Barbie Doll is back with a new song and probably hopes to receive the same success with her previous singles "Dead" (Peak #2 ; 2x Platinum) and "Lost In The Big World" (Peak #5, 2x Platinum).
Lyrically, the song is about being left alone with everything around somebody crashing down. Everything falls apart, with having no control anymore over anything. Her man leaving her behind, her mother going away with teary eyes. Basically, It's a beautiful yet sad song about just being lost. "He eats me alive and walks further in/And he leaves everything behind/Leaves Me Alone", "Mom cries and walks away/Leaves my soul alone and behind", "Rest in peace, leave my soul in peace"

This world rips
Our hearts apart
Times of need
We are alone
Under The Sky
We Cry Alone
Under The SkyBones crack under our skin
He eats me alive and walks further in
And he leaves everything behind
Leaves Me Alone
Under The Sky
Under The SkyMom cries and walks away
Leaves my soul alone and behind
The rain makes my skin feel alive
While she faces my revive
Under The Sky
Under The SkyThey closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only once
They closed their eyes only onceI've seen my destiny already
Each time they close their eyes I say goodbye
Rest in peace, leave my soul in peace
I've seen my destiny already
Each time they close their eyes I say goodbye
Rest in peace, leave my soul in peace
Give Yourself to Harmony
