Brandon Flowers played his new single ‘Can’t Deny My Love’ for the first time on television last night – you can watch his performance from The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon below.
The Killers man, along with friend and drummer Darren Beckett, also discussed how the new single was written.
“I guess I sort of tend to get into the same – I don’t wanna call it a rut – but sometimes it becomes a rut, where you’re just doing the same thing over and over, and I go to the studio, and I got the same keyboards, and the same tools at my disposal, which are sometimes few,” said Flowers. “And so my friend Darren, I called him up and I said ‘Hey, man, can you send me some beats?'”

Beckett then sent Flowers an old beat that he had previously recorded on his phone, which ended up being the starting off point for the single. “It all started with this beat”, continued Flowers. “All my phrases were based around [this hook]…I was grateful for it.”
You can also watch the television debut of the song below. 'Can't Deny My Love' is taken from Flowers' forthcoming solo album, The Desired Effect, due out May 18.
