"Still Want You" is the second single by American singer-songwriter Brandon Flowers from his second studio album, The Desired Effect.[1][2]

Composition

The song reflects on seemingly negative trends in the world (aging, rising crime, climate change, nuclear distress, global disasters) and rebuffs them with the line "I Still Want You".[3][4] It is ostensibly about staying together.[5]

Music video

In promotion of the video, Flowers's YouTube channel released a series of clips titled "Keys", "Bass", "Drums", "Vox", and "Strings".[6][7][8][9][10]

The black and white music video was directed by Warren Fu (Daft Punk, The Killers, Haim).[11][12][2][13] The video portrays Flowers and two backup singers in black and white dancing and singing.[5][4][1]

Reception

Critical

Billboard gave the song a positive review remarking that, "[t]his song is awesome . . . When the call and return chorus of Flowers' hook is answered by the high-pitched choral voices, "Still Want You" kicks into another gleeful gear."[12] Stereogum called it a continuance of "the creative renaissance that the Killers frontman seems to be going through with his new solo album, The Desired Effect."[14] Gigwise said of the track, "Flowers delivers on his promise to give us something a bit different, yet it remains just as great as his previous offerings have been."[15] DirectLyrics wrote, "The first single was amazing but this new song is just ‘instant’, quite catchy at moments, and evidently a whole more radio-friendly than its predecessor."[13]
