"Spaceman" rocketed out as the second single from the Killers' third album, Day & Age, on November 4, 2008, all glittering new wave synths and a chorus that wants to fill the whole sky. Stuart Price produced it with the band and mixed it himself, and all four members, Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer and Ronnie Vannucci Jr., share the writing credit.
The band had been road-testing it at their summer 2008 shows, played it on Saturday Night Live that October and on Later... with Jools Holland the day it came out, and it went on to open their concerts. Rolling Stone ranked it 17th among the best songs of 2008, and in Los Angeles it hung around on the radio into 2010.
