"Lonely Town" is a song by American singer Brandon Flowers from his second studio album, The Desired Effect (2015). It was released on April 27, 2015, as the album's third single. [2] [3]
Sonically the track appears to be a breezy love song but lyrically it features lines with dual meanings (e.g., "When will you come home again? Did you lock the door when it shut?"), potentially attributable to a stalker.
Danielle Haim (of Haim) requested to play the drum part and features on the recording.
The music video for "Lonely Town" centers around a young woman ( Penelope Mitchell) who is moving around a house with headphones on while dancing to the song. It is presumed that she is a guest in this house. [4] [5] Someone is watching her from outside her window. [3] [6] [7] The video is retro-styled. [4] [8]
