“Popsicle” was the second single from Lightning Might Strike, released with a video on 24 October 2025, directed by Paige Applin.
At the time of release Juliana said:
Could ‘Popsicle’ take the prize for ‘feel-bad song of the winter’? It certainly doesn’t pull any punches in its description of mid-life disillusionment. But sonically I was going for fun and catchy, as ever. I love to take a simple, recognizable idea—the sweet frozen perennial summer treat, in this case—and use it as a symbol of all the dread in my head.
