The Killers are gearing up for a busy 2017 with a new album cycle after putting out a compilation of Christmas music for charity last month and spending New Year’s Eve jamming with Paul McCartney, so their collective futures are bright. Apparently, Chinese food chain Panda Express agrees with this after the band who recorded the classic song “Smile Like You Mean It” opened a fortune cookie that reads just that “Smile Like You Mean It.” Yes, we are not making this up.

This song about yearning for your past, dwelling on it, and maybe moving on from something. Maybe that is just my take. “It’s more melancholy, but it really translated to a lot of people. It was very personal to me, and that’s one of the things that’s amazing about music – we all bring our own meaning to songs. It was quite a sophisticated song for where we were at that time, I think.” said Brandon Flowers in 2013 in NME magazine.
