Source-derived summary

Stagger is the fifth extended play (EP) by American singer Poppy. It was released on October 14, 2022, by Republic Records and Lava Records. It is her only release on the labels.

Background and release

In March 2022, during the first show of the Never Find My Place Tour, Poppy debuted an unreleased song called "Stagger". In August, Poppy performed at the Reading Festival and debuted another unreleased song titled "FYB", an acronym for "Fuck You Back". This coincided with the announcement of a four-track EP titled Stagger, which Poppy confirmed in an interview with Dork along with a partial release date of October 2022. In the interview, she revealed that the EP would contain "a couple of fun songs, and one slower song", and promised "more guitars". "FYB" was later released as a single on September 23, alongside a visualizer.

Following the release of the single, Stagger's release date was revealed. It was also announced that the EP would be released under Republic and Lava Records.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 2022 EP by Poppy. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 31, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q114585338. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2022.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
