With a collection of homemade videos, each member dressed up and rocked out the fast-paced song in their own comedic ways. The track was clearly written to lift spirits during the global Covid-19 pandemic, and have fun on Halloween: “We’re at the zombie prom/Everybody dead but they be singing along/We’re at the zombie prom/We’ll never get to heaven cos we’ve done so much wrong.”

According to NME, the band’s frontman Ricky Wilson commented, “It’s been a Halloween of a year. We haven’t been allowed out to play and now we can’t Trick or Treat either. So Kaiser Freaks are inviting you to dance and sing along at our Zombie Prom.”

This is the first new music fans have heard from Kaiser Chiefs this year, after their album ‘Duck’ was released in 2019. The album peaked at number 3 on the Official UK Albums Chart and was a success for the band, who toured throughout early 2020. They did, however, share a reworked version of their hit ‘Oh My God’ on YouTube, with lyrics altered to fit the current situation.

Formed in 200, Kaiser Chiefs consists of members Ricky Wilson (lead vocals), Andrew White (guitar), Nick Baines (keyboards), Simon Rix (bass), and Vijay Mistry (drums). ‘Duck’ was the seventh album which they have released, and they received three BRIT Awards at the beginning of their career – they were for British Rock Act, Live Act, and Best Group.
