Background
Popestar consists almost entirely of covers. Ghost chose unexpected songs that differed from their own musical style.[3]
The only original track on the EP, "Square Hammer", was conceived at the end of the sessions for the band's Meliora album. Because the concept of the album was already in place and the song had a different feeling, the band decided not to include it on the album.[3] "Square Hammer" was released as a single on 12 September 2016, prior to the EP.[1]
