It may have been unintentional, but fans surely took an issue with it.
Rocker and co-founder of The Killers, Brandon Flowers, is being called out for a social media post promoting his new song, which fans believe takes a shot at legend Phil Collins.
"Back in October ‘89, Phil Collins took “Another Day In Paradise” from the working man," the post began, continuing, "This Friday the 17th, I’ll be returning it to its rightful owner."
also includes a cover photo for the single, called “Paradise,” which will be featured on his upcoming solo album, Thrasher.
"It’s unclear what Flowers means exactly in referencing Collins’ “Another Day in Paradise,” though the song was criticized when it was originally released for its depiction of people experiencing homelessness," ABC News wrote.

"This has to be unintentional, but I find it hilarious that Phil Collins is catching strays for no reason," one wrote, as another expressed, "I'm baffled by this tagline. Another Day in Paradise was written and produced by Phil Collins. Is this an insinuation that Phil Collins did not write and produce Another Day in Paradise? Because, I'm sure he did."
"…this feels like a diss on Phil Collins… and I’m not liking that," someone else chimed in.
"I never ever thought i'd be siding with Phil Collins," one suggested, as another noted, "I love you Brandon but this is one of your stranger takes…"
There was definitely confusion on whether the track would be an original or a cover, "So is this a cover of that song or is that just a bit ?either way excited.
One user seemed to understand the intention, writing, "I think he meant to say “Another day in Paradise” is a phrase coined by working class people. And Phil Collin’s used that for the title of his song," to which another replied, "and Brandon Flowers of all people will be returning it?"
Of the 1989 hit, Collins said it was inspired by his observations of homelessness, particularly after an encounter with an unhoused person while leaving the recording studio, per UDiscoverMusic.
Flowers didn't elaborate on his comment, but did share a tease of the soon-to-be-released tune the following day.

However, The Killers will be making their long-awaited return to the Padang Stage for the first time in 8 years during the Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix this fall.
