The Killers dropped "Bright Lights" on August 9, 2024, a one-off single with no album attached, timed to their 20 Years of Hot Fuss residency, and it plays like a band toasting its own past while making sure there's something fresh on the table. Brandon Flowers wrote it, and he has said the idea came to him from an Elvis Presley song.
Two trusted hands produced it: Stuart Price, the man behind Day & Age and Flowers' solo debut Flamingo, and Shawn Everett, who worked on Imploding the Mirage and Pressure Machine. Micah Bickham's video landed the same day, Rolling Stone called it rousing and upbeat, and on Billboard it got as high as No. 12 on Adult Alternative Airplay and No. 37 on Alternative Airplay.
