Somebody Told Me

Somebody Told Me

The Killers

“Somebody Told Me” is the second single by American rock band The Killers. The song is featured on the group’s debut album Hot Fuss and was written by Dave Keuning, Ronnie Vannucci Jr., Mark Stoermer and Brandon Flowers.

“Somebody Told Me” has been released twice in slightly different forms. The first, with the pink background cover, is the rarer version of the single as it was their first release of it; due to poor sales not as many were produced. When re-released, the cover-art sported a blue background color and is the more common version of the single.

This song grew popular as, though it seems to be about a romantic encounter or possibly an ex of some sort, the whole thing was about the process of creating, writing, and designing a song, about how incredibly difficult it is, and then how (as the chorus says) it can still turn out to look like something else that was made first.
