Chewing Gum

"Chewing Gum" is a song by Poppy.

Background
The song was uploaded to Poppy's SoundCloud on May 17th, 2016 for around 30 minutes before being deleted. Some managed to download it after the song was deleted; however, the ending was slightly cut off. Shortly after, the full song was uploaded onto SoundCloud. Poppy revealed in April 2020 that the song was taken down by her label at the time, Island Records.

Poppy later confirmed that the track was supposed to be the B-side to Bubblebath.

Theme
"Chewing Gum" is about Poppy meeting a boy on the internet. She supposedly falls in love with him as he continually gives her attention. Due to this, Poppy doesn't want him to ever leave her. As the relationship progresses, she continues to cling on to the idea of him never leaving her. She compares the boy to chewing gum; if he leaves her and/or makes her hate him, she'll "spit him out", this being a metaphor for cutting him out of her life.
