Am I a Girl? (song)

"Am I a Girl?" is a song by Poppy and the title track from her second studio album Am I a Girl?. It is the twelfth track on the album.

Background
In an interview with Heard Well, Poppy had confirmed that "Am I a Girl?" would be an album, a song and a tour.

Theme
"Am I a Girl?" is based on a time in Poppy's life when she was questioning her identity, showing signs of androgyny and gender fluidity. In a 2018 interview with Nylon, she stated "some days I feel like a boy, some days I feel like a girl, so I haven't figured it out yet". However, she would later clarify in an interview with Flaunt that she is a girl, but "[believes] that everyone should be able to identify with whatever they choose".

The song also discusses gender dysphoria, a condition in which a person experiences distress due to their assigned sex not matching their gender identity. Poppy describes people calling her a binary pronoun as a trigger to her dysphoria.
