Perfume Genius expressed the challenge of covering such an iconic song, stating, "When you're trying to sing an iconic song, you want to make sure that you can do it justice and then also add your own information without fucking with it too much, you know?" He emphasized the excitement in taking on such a tall order, mentioning the importance of honoring the original while bringing in new elements.
Ben Ruttner from The Knocks mentioned their approach to the cover, saying, "We wanted to really keep it close to the original but just give it a little more of a modern dance floor feel." He emphasized that Perfume Genius contributes a unique flair, and they aimed to support his vocals while incorporating their own dance-pop touch, particularly focusing on the iconic synth sound.
