Jagger posted on his Facebook page, “I’m excited to share new music with you! I started writing these two songs a few weeks back and wanted to get them out to you straight away. I feel a slight throwback to a time when you could be a bit more free and easy by recording and putting it out there immediately. Enjoy them. MJ”

Both songs can be described as political lyrically. In one verse of “Gotta Get a Grip,” Jagger sings: “Everybody’s stuffing their pockets/Everybody’s on the take/The news is all fake/Let ’em eat chicken and let ’em eat steak/Let ’em eat sh*t, let ’em eat cake,” while in another verse he continues: “I tried diversion and I tried coercion/Meditation and medication/LA culture and acupuncture/Overeating and sex in meetings/Induced insanity, Christianity/Long walks and fast drives and wild clubs and low dives/I pushed and I strived/But I can’t get you, can’t get you/Can’t get you out of my mind/Gotta get a grip.”

One remix of “Gotta Get a Grip” features British rapper Skepta. Jagger posted, “Right from the off when I started writing England Lost, I imagined having a British rapper on the track. Skepta stepped in at a moments notice and I just loved what he did.”
