On June 8th, Bean shared two audio recordings, speaking about the song. They stated that they chose “Piggie” as the first single because it was, “on a similar wavelength to *Worldwide Torture*”, also revealing that it’s the oldest song on the upcoming album. They continued by saying they wanted to “ease people in” to a new sound with the song.

Bean spoke on the song, stating,

> When I got out of rehab, I looked back at pictures of myself and saw the events that were happening around me at the time. I was three months clean and had lots of realisations about my life. I didn’t want to combat it with a sad song. Instead, I’m poking fun at some of the men I met at the time.
>
> ’Piggie’ is the closest track to the ‘Worldwide Torture’ era, so I wanted to bridge the gap between the old and new sound. But honestly, what’s coming next… I’m not even ready for.

## Lyrics

Midlife crisis

Pervert, a virus

Mum's scared, dad's upstate

Oh, wow, you're so mature for your age!

Nymphets love you

Lost your job, talk of the town, it's true

Hands down this skirt

"She don't need school, you're wise, she will learn"

Oh, silly piggie

Rolling in your own shit again

Filthy in heaven

Cradle me my favorite parent

Disgust, oh well

Write me letters down in your jail cell

Scumbag

Bottom of the barrel (You are)

Scumbag

Bottom of the barrel (Yes, you are)

Repulsed, just scraping for scraps

Son saying "when I grow up I'll be like dad!"

Dribbling in your prime, a pig in true form

Your life's fucking cold, young girls keep you warm

Oh, silly piggie

Rolling in your own shit again

Filthy in heaven

Cradle me my favorite parent

Disgust, oh well

Write me letters down in your jail cell

Scumbag

Bottom of the barrel (Yeah, you are)

Scumbag

Bottom of the barrel (Yes you are)

And sadly

It's just a little bit too late

Your clothes are clean

But you got a teenager for a date

Filthy in heaven

Cradle me my favorite parent

Disgust, oh well

Write me letters down in your jail cell

Scumbag

Bottom of the barrel (ahh)

Scumbag

Bottom of the barrel

(Oh) I guess it's just too late

(Oh) I guess it's just too late for you, my dear
