Cults' cover of Phoenix's 2013 track "Bourgeois" is also accompanied by Nation Of Language's version of Broken Social Scene's "Stars And Sons".

Stereogum reports that Cults said of their song choice, "Under The Radar might have been our first time our music was ever printed about in a magazine. When we saw the list of bands that had been on the covers over the years, our initial thought was “Wow.” Our second thought was, "Let’s do that Phoenix song." We’ve had "Bourgeois" on our tour playlist for two album cycles now, and it always stands out amongst all the other tunes. We love its lyrics as a critique of social structures that the French do better than anyone. We tried a few different ways of approaching the cover before we gave up and just dove in, playing the song as we would if it was a Cults song."

Nation Of Language's Ian Devaney added of their cover, "Once we settled on Broken Social Scene, and this song, we realised that loving "Stars And Sons" so much, if we didn’t transform it a fundamental way, we would end up just copying it straight up. Not wanting to do that, we decided to change the rhythm to turn it into a shuffle, which made it easier to get loose with the structure and have fun with it. We worked with Nick Millhiser of Holy Ghost!, who worked on parts of A Way Forward. On the album, we have a song called "Former Self" that’s also a shuffle, but in a much more reserved way, so we wanted to go all-out here, and turn it into a weirdo dance song."

Covers of Covers will also include contributions from Piroshka, Hatchie, NZCA LINES, Girl Ray, Alex Lahey, Black Belt Eagle Scout and more.
