Backed by the members of his band, who sing, dance, and play a variety of different instruments while completely mobile throughout the show, Byrne provided a typically-zany attitude to the cover; he and his instrumentalists added soaring harmonies, saxophone lines, and choreographed movements to their version of "Hard Times."

"Byrne and Paramore frontwoman Hayley Williams have now collaborated multiple times; Paramore initially offered their cover of Talking Heads' "Burning Down the House" for the 2024 Stop Making Sense tribute album, Williams recently guested on Who Is the Sky? track "What Is The Reason For It?," and the pair have an upcoming collaborative song titled "Open The Door" that they recorded for the Netflix adaptation of Roald Dahl's The Twits."
