### Notes

- US physical releases censor "fuck" in the title track with a bleep, while all other expletives in the song and the rest of the album are intact.
- The version of "Boom Clap" found in the album is the same from the Japanese music video and is different from the version heard in the original music video and in _The Fault in Our Stars_.
