Martinez told Fuse:

‘Mrs. Potato Head’ was the hardest song to write on the album. I had the idea for it for a while, just the title and the comparison to how you can, you know, change the pieces of Mrs. Potato Head’s face, and how that can double as a meaning for changing how you look. I think it was the hardest song to write just because I didn’t want it to come off as, you know, bashing people who get plastic surgery in any way, because that wasn’t the point. The whole point was, changing how you look isn’t gonna fix your insecurities.

She also told Noisey:

[Cry Baby is] becoming more confident and comfortable in her own skin, so she’s forming opinions. I had the idea for ‘Mrs. Potato Head’ for a long time and the whole visual I had in my head was the fact that you can pull toy pieces off the face and that could represent plastic surgery. It was not me bashing women who get plastic surgery, but more of a ‘Why are you doing this when you’re beautiful without it?’

I was in L.A. and there were a lot of people who had plastic surgeries, plastic faces. I always write down random things that relate to childhood in my phone, like themes and titles. I had “Mrs. Potato Head” written down and I immediately thought about changing pieces to a face.
