King Princess has shared a cover of Geese’s “Au Pays Du Cocaine” during a recent appearance on BBC Radio 1’s Live Lounge, describing the song as a “lesbian anthem.” The original track appears on Geese’s 2025 album Getting Killed and has become one of the band’s most recognizable songs.

King Princess’ version softens some of the song’s darker edges. She discussed the cover with BBC Radio 1 host Jack Saunders, explaining that the song’s lyrics and themes resonated with her in a distinctly queer way.

“That Geese song is such a lesbian anthem. I don’t know if he [Winter] meant to write such a lesbian song, but it really is quite dyke-centric,” said King Princess.

When asked what specifically made the song feel queer to her, she pointed to a lyric that has become central to how fans interpret the track. “‘You can change and still choose me’… Ask some of your lesbian friends what that means.”

“It’s such a beautiful song. It really represents what it’s like to be in love right now. A song about two people wanting freedom and wanting to be individuals, and yet are actively choosing to stay together. That feels extremely present, but also extremely queer.”

Geese’s original version of “Au Pays Du Cocaine” features a yearning vocal performance from frontman Cameron Winter paired with sparse, unsettled instrumentation. The track quickly emerged as a standout from Getting Killed, with all its understated intensity.

The cover arrives as Geese’s profile continues to rise. The Brooklyn band recently made their debut on Saturday Night Live, performing “Au Pays Du Cocaine” alongside “Trinidad.”
