SATAN TAKES A HOLIDAY Announce New Single & Music Video for ‘Good Ones’ — A High-Voltage Take on Charli XCX

Swedish rock powerhouse Satan Takes A Holiday return with their new single Good Ones, released May 22, continuing the second chapter of their ambitious album project Covering Our Tracks, culminating in the full album release on September 18 (pre-order link).

Following the release of Covering Our Tracks: Part 1 and the opening single State Trooper, the band continue to unfold the project in real time — not simply as a collection of covers, but as a bold reimagining of rock history. By reshaping influential songs with their signature blend of garage rock, punk attitude and modern edge, Satan Takes A Holiday treat the past and present alike as raw material: something to challenge, energize and make entirely their own.

With Good Ones, originally by Charli XCX, the band turn their attention to modern pop — transforming a sleek, hook-driven track into a raw, driving indie rock cut with a sharp punk edge. Retaining the irresistible melody and core tension of the original, their version amplifies the grit, distortion and urgency, pushing the song into new territory.

“Charli first came onto my radar in 2011 with her debut EP Stay Away, possibly via our mutual collaborator, producer Patrik Berger,” Fred from the band explains. “However it happened, I’ve been hooked ever since. And when ‘Good Ones’ dropped a few years ago, it went straight into my STAH folder of potential covers.

Lo-fi, distorted drum and bass gelling with a sticky synth line and an irresistible melody. Maybe it hits harder than she originally intended — but we don’t care, we love it.”

The result is immediate, punchy and high-voltage — a fearless reinterpretation that highlights Satan Takes A Holiday’s instinct-driven approach and their ability to bridge genres without losing their identity.
