UNDRESSD is a Swedish duo consisting of (singer) Elina Mayskär and (producer) Erik Pettersson. Not too long ago, they released a wonderful remake of Cyndi Lauper’s classic single, entitled, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”.
UNDRESSD – “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” remake
“When first listening to ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’, I think we all just feel like dancing. But if you take a moment and listen to the lyrics it holds a bit deeper message. For us, the song is an anthem from a feminist point of view. Conveying the point that what all women really want is to be able to have the same experiences that men can.” – UNDRESSD
‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’ is a hopeful pop anthem with a timely message. Describing the sound as “a blend of Avicii’s ‘Wake Me Up’ and Dolly Parton”, UNDRESSD paints the old classic with new, upbeat colors, by building a soundscape with acoustic guitars, back-beat claps, and choirs.

“We always loved Cyndi Lauper’s classic hit, ‘Girls Just Wanna Have Fun’. It holds a strong message which was as relevant then as it is today. And we really wanted to re-tell that message to the younger generation. We both have been listening to a lot to up-tempo singer-songwriter songs lately, like Smith & Thell, Lost Frequencies, and The Lumineers. And that’s what really inspired us to create this sound.” – UNDRESSD
UNDRESSD combines Elina’s background of ‘70s singer-songwriter vibes and Erik’s love for beats and poppy hooks. Together, they bring the old times back to life.
