这是The Killers连续第三年为公益组织RED录制的节日歌曲，与Elton John和Pet Shop Boy的主唱Neil Tennant共同合作的。这首歌是他们为慈善组织RED(WIRE)所作的，此组织由U2主唱Bono建立，目的是筹集善款为非洲的艾滋病患者提供药物治疗。另外有多位艺人都将为此组织提供独家单曲，如Coldplay,Bob Dylan, R.E.M等，歌曲的全部收益都将捐献给该组织。

"Joseph, Better You Than Me" is a song by Las Vegas-based rock band The Killers featuring Elton John and Neil Tennant. The song was released on December 16, 2008 (2008-12-16) as a download-only single.[1] All proceeds from the song benefit the Product Red campaign, headed by Bono and Bobby Shriver. The music video features footage from The Living Christ series

The song continues the tradition of The Killers releasing a digital download Christmas single that started with "A Great Big Sled" in 2006 and continued with "Don't Shoot Me Santa" in 2007. Brandon Flowers said it was great to work with two "real professionals" and "would love to work with them again".
