Background

Tease (2016-2017)

What likely appears to be a visualizer or audio video was probably shoot for this song, since Poppy posted on her now-deleted Twitter account on December 12^th, 2016 "Poppy Music Video✔️", most likely referencing this song's title or being an early version of the title, as also makeup artist Daria Solovyeva had posted on her own Instagram account on February 16^th, 2016 a picture taken by herself of Poppy's look for the single cover with the caption "[Throwback to] || "IM POPPY" video shoot", further confirming the existence of scrapped media for the song. It could be thought that it's a visualizer or an audio video instead of a music video since Poppy said a music video was never shoot for the song on a Q&A on a Discord group in 2020.

On January 10^th, 2017 it was tweeted on Poppy's Twitter account "P - O - P - P - Y! I'm Poppy!", this would end up being the song's chorus as this was a tease for the song.

On January 21^st, 2017 it waz tweeted on Poppy's Twitter account teasing the release date of the song "January 31^st, 2017". Later, on January 26^th, 2017 the single artwork was revealed on Poppy's social media. On the release day instead the song was never released. The next day, Charlotte, a recurring character on Poppy's YouTube channel, "leaked" a snippet of the song in the video "I Have Poppy's New Song". Poppy can be heard in the background exclaiming: "Charlotte, why are you doing this? They told me I couldn't release it today!". The release date was then pushed back to February 14^th, 2017.^{[citation needed]}

Release

An auto-generated by YouTube video of the audio of the song was accidentally uploaded on February 7^th, 2017, days before the song's official release date. The video appears to have been made unlisted until the song's official release date.

The song was finally released on the new selected released date as February 14^th, 2017 alongside a lyric video using the same picture of the monitor seen in the video "Transmission" as later re-used for the character Computer Boy in subsequent videos.

In October 2017, as the song was released as a single with her former stage name "That Poppy", the song would be released as "Poppy" for the Poppy.Computer album release.

State (since 2022)

On January 25^th, 2022 the single form of the song was removed from Poppy's artist page on streaming services and re-added under a separate That Poppy artist page. Poppy's EP Bubblebath had previously been added to this page in 2019. On April 9^th, 2024 this action was reverted, leaving the EP and the single form of the song being re-added to the Poppy profile.

Theme

This song is an introduction to the character Poppy and what it is like in her world. The lyrics tell the listener how to be like her and how everyone is happy watching her YouTube videos on the internet.

Welcome to the new world, I'm your internet girl
Open up and you'll see, everyone is happy

You know where to find me, on your telephone screen
Please electrify me, power my battery
I need your energy to store all your memory

But Poppy, how can I be like you?
I'm having trouble figuring you out
All you have to do is follow these steps
