The Pretenders put out "Holy Commotion" on September 8, 2016, with Dan Auerbach in the producer's chair and all over the track besides: he plays guitar and keyboards and sings alongside Chrissie Hynde and Richard Swift. Swift might be even busier, handling drums as well as guitar, keyboards and vocals, while Kenny Vaughan adds more guitar, Leon Michels more keys, Dave Roe plays bass and Russ Pahl brings in pedal steel.
Hynde wrote it with Bobby Gillespie, Andrew Innes and Björn Yttling, so this is a song with a lot of fingerprints on it before a note was cut, and a lot more once the tape rolled. Collin Dupuis engineered it and Tchad Blake mixed it.
