Good Neighbours Share What’s Next After the ‘Insane’ Success of ‘Home’


Good Neighbours, the indie-pop duo comprised of Scott Verrill and Oli Fox, reflect on 'Home,' TikTok viral success, new songs and more to Billboard.

Before they were Good Neighbours, Scott Verrill and Oli Fox were literal neighbors in an East London studio space last year, intrigued by each other’s solo work bleeding through the metal windows. Those sessions hinged on shared influences — Verrill and Fox both draw from late-2000s indie – pop mainstays like MGMT and Passion Pit — and “Keep It Up,” one of the first songs the duo wrote together with its booming drums and yelped vocal hooks, formed a mission statement of sorts while the pair worked through demos in late 2023. In January, Good Neighbours recorded the oversize chorus of “Home,” a bleeding-heart, whistle-packed anthem, and decided to float the refrain on TikTok without finishing the rest of the song.
