About This Track

“Mr. Brightside” is a song performed by Las Vegas-based rock band The Killers. The song is featured on the group’s debut album Hot Fuss. The song was written by lead vocalist Brandon Flowers and guitarist Dave Keuning and was one of the first songs written by the band, originating from a cassette given to Flowers by Keuning, to which Flowers penned the lyrics. The song was written about Flowers’ ex-girlfriend who was cheating on him. Flowers has stated on the band’s website that the song is about a man in a love triangle with a whore.

“Mr. Brightside” entered the Billboard Hot 100 ranked #40 on February 12, 2005, and peaked at #10 on June 11. In the 2005 year-end rankings from Billboard, “Mr. Brightside” ranked 16th. The song has reached number one in the charts of various countries. It was a number 10 hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the Official UK Singles Chart. The song was also nominated for a Grammy in 2006 for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal, but it lost to a live version of “This Love” by Maroon 5. The video won a MTV VMA in 2004 for Best Rock Video.
