“Caution” by The Killers

"Caution" led the way for The Killers' sixth studio album, Imploding the Mirage, in March 2020, and it ends with a guest who needs no introduction: former Fleetwood Mac guitarist Lindsey Buckingham, taking the solo. Ronnie Vannucci floated the idea over dinner as a joke, the band actually called him, and Buckingham was in the studio the next day.

Brandon Flowers describes the song as heeding the angel on your shoulder even when it tells you what you'd rather not hear, and he tied it to his own gut call to leave Las Vegas and move his family back to Utah, where he grew up. Shawn Everett and Jonathan Rado produced, Blake Mills adds guitar and bass, and Holly Laessig and Jess Wolfe sing backup. It went to number one on both Billboard's Rock Airplay and Alternative Airplay charts.
