However, it didn't win for this category

"I'm Just Your Problem" is a song featured in the episode "What Was Missing." The song is written by Rebecca Sugar, produced by Tim Kiefer, and sung by Olivia Olson (Marceline's voice actress), backed up by Finn (beatboxing), Princess Bubblegum (synthesizer), and Jake (viola). The song seems to be about Marceline's anger with Princess Bubblegum; the middle lines raise questions about her true feelings. It implies that her desire to reconcile and her frustrations are genuine.


La da da da da,
I'm gonna bury you in the ground,
La da da da da,
I'm gonna bury you with my sound,
I'm gonna drink the red from your pretty pink face,
I'm gonna...

Bubblegum: (-Marceline! That's too distasteful!
Marceline: -Oh... You don't like that? Or do you just not like me!)
Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess,
Is that what you want me to do?
Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect,
Like all your little loyal subjects do,
Sorry I'm not made of sugar,
Am I not sweet enough for you?
Is that why you always avoid me?
That must be such an inconvenience to you,
Well... I'm just your problem,
I'm just your problem,
It's like I'm not even a person, am I?
I'm just your problem
Well, I shouldn't have to justify what I do
I shouldn't have to prove anything to you
I'm sorry that I exist, I forget what landed me on your blacklist
But I shouldn't have to be the one that makes up with you
So... why do I want to?
Why do I want to...
To... bury you in the ground
And drink the blood from your... Ugh.

Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess,
Is that what you want me to do?
Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect,
Like all your little loyal subjects do,
Sorry I'm not made of sugar,
Am I not sweet enough for you?

But I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I shouldn't have to be the one that makes up with you
So... why do I want to?
Why do I want to...
