Background
On November 26th, 2019, Poppy revealed the title along with the tracklist to "I Disagree" on Instagram.[1]
Theme
"It's a more straightforward arrangement-wise, kind of like a deep breath. It's about everything I thought I wanted is actually nothing that I need [and] coming to terms with a lot of things. Maybe certain things that I was drawn to [or] attracted to, and I realized that what I need I already have at the bare minimum, and happiness is way more important than material objects." - Poppy in an interview with Alternative Press[2]
Lyrics
Something strange happened to me
All I ever wanted, it was nothing I need
It doesn't matter to me
It don't matter to me
When I said that I'm okay
All the power that you had, it slipped away
It doesn't matter to me
It don't matter to me
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
Always gotta climb the ladder
Someone else will always do it
They'll do it better
Here's your prize for competition
They would die for your position
Everything I thought I wanted
I can see it's nothing
Nothing I need
I'm not gonna ask permission
I'll never ask permission
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
Take the ride
