==Background and composition== In the interview with SPIN, Martinez described "Sippy Cup" as the second part to "Dollhouse", stating: "The song is basically the bridge between the ''Dollhouse'' EP and the ''Cry Baby'' album.

==Music video== {{Original research|section|date=May 2020}} Martinez further explores the character of Cry Baby and her home life in "Sippy Cup", showing just how serious her parents' problems are. No matter how much her mother tries to hide her alcoholism, Cry Baby knows that she is hiding liquor in her sippy cup. When the drunk mother sees her husband with another woman, she ties both of them up, murders them, and covers the bodies up with a bloody sheet. Cry Baby then walks in on the crime scene; shocked and overwhelmed by the sight, she begins to panic. Her mother puts her to sleep and when she awakens, Cry Baby is chained to her own bed. To cover up the murder, her mother drugs her so she would forget the gruesome memory.
