"Gotta Get a Grip" / "England Lost" is a double A-side single by the English singer-songwriter and Rolling Stones frontman, Mick Jagger. The single was announced and subsequently released on 27 July 2017 along with accompanying music videos, one day after the singer turned 74. According to Jagger, the songs were written in April 2017 as a response to what he called the "confusion and frustration with the times we live in." According to the same statement by Jagger, which was released on the same day, the song describes the "anxiety, unknowability of the changing political situation" in a post-Brexit UK. The songs are the first solo-material that Jagger has released since Goddess In the Doorway was released in 2001. A digital "Reimagined" EP was also released, including a longer version of "England Lost", featuring Skepta, and remixes of "Gotta Get a Grip" by Seeb, Kevin Parker of Tame Impala, Alok and producer Matt Clifford.
