== Trivia ==
*We Appreciate Power was originally intended as a second collaboration with Poppy after Play Destroy and with Grimes' long-time collaborator, HANA. However, Poppy and Grimes' feud prompted Grimes to remove Poppy from the song so it was just Grimes and HANA.
*Poppy revealed on her discord she only sung the bridge, but it was removed.https://www.reddit.com/r/that_Poppy/comments/fslo1p/poppy_finally_addressed_we_appreciate_power/ It was believed that she did the parts HANA sings, however Chris Greatti revealed Hana's vocals were recorded from the beginning.
* The release of the song caused a rise in interest for the word 'capitulate' from the song's chorus.https://www.nme.com/news/music/online-searches-for-the-meaning-of-the-word-capitulate-soar-thanks-to-grimes-new-song-we-appreciate-power-2418915
