"Lonely Town" is the third single by American singer-songwriter Brandon Flowers from his second studio album, The Desired Effect.^[1][2]

Composition

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. Although it shares no chord progressions or melodies with "Every Breath You Take" by The Police, the songs might be analogized.^[3]

Music video

The music video follows around a young woman (Penelope Mitchell) while doing random things around her house with headphones on while dancing to the song.^[4][5] Someone is watching her from outside her window.^[6][7][8] The video is retro-styled.^[9][10]
