Recorded live on May 16 at the Spotify studio in New York, the musicians preserve the provocative power of 'Personal Jesus' while imbuing their own signature style and spirit. A recording of the cover has preceded recent live shows. Meanwhile, they amplify the energy of 'Hysteria' with this hyper-charged rendition. A live staple, it most notably serves as the title track of their 1987 best-selling album of the same name, which garnered a diamond certification from the RIAA and housed seven smash singles. The original also stands out as a fan favorite on Spotify.

'Spotify Singles' was launched in 2016 and features artists recording at least two live songs — an original and a cover — for release exclusively on Spotify. As the name suggests, the 'Spotify Singles' concept channels back the good old days of vinyl and CD singles.
