Poppy.Computer was written in Los Angeles during 2016 by Poppy and Titanic Sinclair, with help from songwriter Simon Wilcox and Chris Greatti of Blame Candy. Near the end of the year, Poppy and Sinclair went to Japan to work with producers on the record, then went back in the spring of 2017 to finish it.

On May 6, 2017, Poppy confirmed on Twitter that her debut album was finished.{{cite tweet |author=Poppy |author-link=Poppy (entertainer) |user=poppy |number=861014179611684864 |title=Album one is done |date=May 6, 2017 }} On the same tweet Poppy also confirmed that there would be a tour to promote the album and that she knows when the album will be released.

AllMusic's Neil Z. Yeung noted an "injection" of J-pop into Poppy's "computer veins", mentioning that the album results in a "winking piece of art pop that sounds like Fame-era Lady Gaga meets Grimes or L.A.M.B.-era Gwen Stefani going full 'Harajuku Girl[s]'", also suggesting to "think of this as the 'Material Girl' for the Internet age". Rolling Stone{{'}}s Maura Johnston said that "[it] adds her airy voice to hyper-stylized, detail-rich gloss-pop", also stating that "Poppy.Computer{{'}}s off-kilter recounting of microcelebrity, hiccuping vocals and intricate production help her neatly avoid that fate".{{cite magazine|author=Brittany Spanos|author2=Simon Vozick-Levinson|author3=Maura Johnston|author4=Joe Levy|author5=Will Hermes|author6=Rob Sheffield|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/lists/20-best-pop-albums-of-2017-w513516/poppy-poppycomputer-w513535|title=Rolling Stone 20 best pop albums of 2017|magazine=Rolling Stone|date=December 12, 2017|access-date=June 30, 2022}}
