Originally released in 1990, the song was re-recorded by Seal in 1991 for his self-titled debut album. It was covered by George Michael in 1992, by ATB in 1999, and given a remix in 2005.
2:54's Colette Thurlow said: "There's a nostalgia to 'Killer' that each member of the band identifies with. We grew up listening to Seal. 'Kiss from a Rose' and 'Crazy' are such big songs.
"We thought it would be interesting to re-work a pop song and put a 2:54 spin on it. The lyrics are really moving too; melancholic and tough. To me it feels like a song about hope and solidarity."
