Best Answer

the drywall screw didnt come loose the paper that the screw is holding to the wall is what came loose. a screws function is mostly in the head or flange of it. if the head goes throught the paper rather than just indenting the paper, then it ceases to hold anything and the drywall will go in and out around the screw heance the term " screw pop" .
