SB19 puts their own spin on Eraserheads' song 'Christmas Party'
One of OPM’s most legendary holiday songs was given a P-pop twist!
SB19 put their own unique spin on Eraserheads’ song “Christmas Party.” Who knew it could be more danceable than it already is?
Keeping the festive and nostalgic feels of the original, SB19 added more dance-pop, old-school hip-hop, and some funk into their version.
In a statement sent to Shai Lagarde of GMA Integrated News, the group said, “The Eraserheads are one of the most influential bands of our time. We retained everything that's great about the song, but made sure to add our own creative direction in terms of overall sound... We're definitely happy with how it turned out.”

SB19 recorded the song during the Los Angeles stop of their WYAT world tour, and member Stell said that recording in another country felt “surreal.”
The track was also produced by August Rigo, the Filipino-Canadian artist best known for co-writing songs like “Black Swan” by BTS and “U Smile” by Justin Bieber.
Meanwhile, the Eraserheads also performed “Christmas Party,” at their much-awaited Huling El Bimbo reunion concert, and even brought out Gary V to sing the song with them. —Nika Roque/JCB, GMA Integrated News
