One of the most enduring indie-rock anthems of the 21st century, driven by Dave Keuning's frantic, arpeggiated guitar riff and a driving, four-on-the-floor beat. Brandon Flowers' lyrics detail a hyper-specific, paranoid narrative regarding romantic infidelity and jealousy. The track achieved unprecedented longevity on the UK Singles Chart, remaining continuously popular across successive generations of rock and pop fans.
