"Lonely Town" is the third single by American singer Brandon Flowers from his second studio album, The Desired Effect.

Contents

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.

Danielle Haim (of Haim) requested to play the drum part and features on the recording.

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. Someone is watching her from outside her window. The video is retro-styled.
