She shared that the song had a significant personal impact on her growing up and that she was thrilled to reimagine it with a “deeply unsettling” quality for the series.
Welch further elaborated on her creative process,explaining that the team aimed to incorporate horror elements into the iconic song to align with the show’s tone. She described the possibility as a “dream job,” given her early musical influences in pop-punk and Gwen Stefani.
