Altar

"Altar" is a song by Poppy, released under the name That Poppy. It is the third track on her debut extended play Bubblebath. The audio currently has over 2 million views on YouTube.

Theme
The song is about Poppy's obsession with a person that she loves, and wanting to run away with them. She sings about the girl that they're about to marry being a manipulator. Poppy demonstrates strong emotional ambitions towards the subject of the song, which is unusual because she shows little emotion in her YouTube videos.

Reception
Little individual reviews followed the release of "Altar", as the track was mostly overshadowed by the previous two Bubblebath hits "Money" and "Lowlife". However, Tyler Peterson of UQMUSIC stated in a review that "Money" and "Altar" in particular were "retro-bangers".

Trivia

 * The song's second verse features a brief reggae beat similar to that heard in "Lowlife".
 * It is speculated that this song refers to Titanic Sinclair's previous project, Mars Argo. The lines "I know that she has a gun, it's an emotional one" could be referencing her controversial video, "Everybody Wants It All".
 * This is the shortest song on Bubblebath, being 2:40 long.
