Released 2023
“Your Side of Town” by The Killers appears on 8 radio countdowns from 8 stations between 2023 and 2024. It was first released in 2023. Its best result is #20 on the WERS Top 88 Songs of 2023. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #64 alternative song of 2023 and #256 of the '20s.
The Killers dropped "Your Side of Town" on August 25, 2023 as a standalone single, and it later landed on Rebel Diamonds, the band's second greatest-hits set, where it served as the second single. Brandon Flowers wrote it with Stuart Price, and Flowers was upfront about its DNA: he said he could hear Pet Shop Boys, New Order and Depeche Mode in it, the music he'd have been listening to as a teenager in Las Vegas, yet it still felt like theirs rather than a copy.
Critics warmed to it, with Rolling Stone pointing to its synth-heavy chorus and lovelorn lyrics. Dave Emery handled the mix, and Tim Mattia directed the video that followed in October.
