“Pop In My Step” is the only Cook Craig-penned track on Float Along — Fill Your Lungs (released September 27th, 2013) and is a short and carefree song with an upbeat tone and self-assertive lyrics. It was the first Cook-led King Gizzard track to be released.
The song was performed a few times in August of 2013 during full performances of Float Along — Fill Your Lungs, with its first reported appearance on 2013-08-21 at Bar Open in Naarm (Melbourne) and its first confirmed appearance on 2013-08-22 at the Goodgod Small Club in Eora (Sydney). After a performance on 2013-08-29, the song was retired with only one known performance post-2013, that being 2018-11-29 at The Tivoli in Brisbane. In the live chat before the debut of the music video for the GUM/Ambrose track “Ill Times,” Ambrose said that Gizzard might revisit the song in 2024.
