2011 single by Ellie Goulding
"
Lights
" is a song by English singer
Ellie Goulding
from
Bright Lights
(2010), the reissue of her debut studio album,
Lights
(2010). Written by Goulding,
Richard Stannard
and Ash Howes, the song was inspired by Goulding's childhood
fear of the dark
. It was released on 13 March 2011 as the album's sixth single overall, and second from
Bright Lights
. Originally a bonus track on the UK and German
iTunes
edition of
Lights
, the song was re-edited for inclusion on
Bright Lights
in late 2010, serving as the single version.
"Lights" received positive reviews from most music critics, who praised the song's production and Goulding's "ethereal" vocals. The song was also a commercial success, reaching the top 20 in several countries. In the United States, "Lights" was a
sleeper hit
, reaching number two on the
Billboard
Hot 100
after 33 weeks on the chart and becoming one of the few songs to have spent more than a year on the Hot 100. The song has been certified seven-times platinum by the
Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA).
In 2022, "Lights" became viral on the video-sharing apps
TikTok
and
Instagram
. In response to its resurgence, Goulding and Speed Radio released a
sped-up remix
on 1 July 2022.
Background and release
[
edit
]
"Lights" was originally announced as a single on 8 September 2010 on Goulding's official
Twitter
page, with a release date scheduled for 1 November 2010.
[2]
It was set to be released as the lead single from the album's repackaging as
Bright Lights
.
[3]
However, this plan was scrapped in favour of releasing "
Your Song
" in order to capitalise on the
John Lewis Christmas advert
that it was featured in.
[4]
This was followed by the reissue of the album
Lights
as
Bright Lights
.
In January 2011, it was once again announced that the single version of "Lights" would be released.
[5]
A digital
EP
was released in the United Kingdom on 13 March 2011, containing Goulding's acoustic cover version of
Rihanna
's "
Only Girl (In the World)
" as performed on
BBC Radio 1
's
Live Lounge
on 10 December 2010.
[6]
[7]
The single version of "Lights" also appears as a bonus track on the international edition of Goulding's second studio album,
Halcyon
.
[8]
[9]
The song is included on the soundtrack to the 2012 film
Spring Breakers
and is played during the closing credits.
[10]
[11]
Composition
[
edit
]
According to the
sheet music
published at Musicnotes.com by
Sony/ATV Music Publishing
, "Lights" is written in the key of
G-sharp minor
with a moderate pop
tempo
of 120 beats per minute. Goulding's vocals span from F
♯
3
to D
♯
5
while the song follows a
chord progression
of G
♯
m?F
♯
?E?C
♯
m
7
.
[12]
Lyrically, the song discusses the
fear of the dark
that Goulding had as a child, and how she could only sleep with the lights on. In an interview with
97.1 AMP Radio
in late July 2012, Goulding stated, "Sometimes if I've had a couple of drinks and I come back and just like lie on my bed and fall asleep I wake up and realize that there isn't a light on and I have to turn a light on."
[13]
She also explained, "It can be seen as something like a lighthouse that kind of always guides you home. I've always felt comfort sleeping with the light on, and I've always felt comfort being with my siblings."
[14]
Critical reception
[
edit
]
"Lights" received mostly positive reviews from critics. Horatia Harrod of
The Daily Telegraph
commented that the song is "threaded with dark thoughts, but set to an airy pop production bordering on polite. Her voice is the real star. She has the magical ability, not unlike her heroine,
Bjork
, to sing with a sort of controlled tremulousness: her voice aches with vulnerability but never breaks."
[15]
The Guardian
reviewer Johnny Dee described the song as "a welcome return to her patented folky-pop-with-some-tasteful-drum-and-bass-wobble sound".
[16]
Genevieve Koski of
The A.V. Club
was also positive of the song, giving it an A? and praising the song's "organic-sounding" production and Goulding's "ethereal, restrained" vocals, while Steven Hyden of
The A.V. Club
gave it a C, claiming that Goulding sounds too "restrained" and "aloof to the point of emotional constipation".
[17]
About.com
's Bill Lamb rated the song three-and-a-half out of five stars, calling it "a pleasing, catchy slice of electro-pop" and noting that "Goulding's voice has an edge of sadness and vulnerability that sets the song apart from standard dance pop", but concluded, "In a pop music world dominated by distinctive vocalists, it is too easy for a song like 'Lights' to feel polite and get lost in the shuffle."
[18]
On 8 October 2014, "Lights" was honoured as Song of the Year at
American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers
' (ASCAP) 34th annual awards in London.
[19]
Commercial performance
[
edit
]
"Lights" debuted at number 111 on the
UK Singles Chart
for the week ending 18 December 2010, based on digital sales from
Bright Lights
.
[20]
Three months later, during the week ending 12 March 2011, the single entered the top 100 for the first time at number 91.
[21]
The following week, it rose to number 64, eventually peaking at number 49 in its sixth week on the chart.
[22]
On the issue dated 20 August 2011, "Lights" debuted at number 85 on the US
Billboard
Hot 100
and at number 89 on the
Canadian Hot 100
, becoming Goulding's first single to chart in North America.
[23]
[24]
The song re-entered the
Billboard
Hot 100 at number 99 during the week of 14 January 2012.
[25]
When "Lights" reached number 40 in its 19th week, on the issue dated 12 May, the song attained the third-slowest climb to the top 40 by a female artist, after
Norah Jones
's "
Don't Know Why
" and
KT Tunstall
's "
Suddenly I See
".
[26]
In its 29th week, the song made Hot 100 history by achieving the longest climb to the chart's top five not aided by country-to-pop
crossover
success or multiple releases.
[27]
The single reached number two in its 33rd chart week, on the issue dated 18 August 2012, and held that position for two consecutive weeks, behind "
Call Me Maybe
" by
Carly Rae Jepsen
and "
Whistle
" by
Flo Rida
, respectively,
[28]
[29]
making it Goulding's highest-peaking single on the chart to date.
[30]
"Lights" ascended to number one on the
Radio Songs
chart on the issue dated 25 August 2012, making Goulding the first female solo artist to send a debut Radio Songs entry to number one since
Adele
led the list in 2011 and 2012 with her singles "
Rolling in the Deep
", "
Someone Like You
" and "
Set Fire to the Rain
".
[29]
The song also topped the
Mainstream Top 40
during the same week, matching
Pink
's "
U + Ur Hand
" (23 weeks, 2006?2007) for the longest climb to number one by a woman in the chart's almost-20-year history.
[31]
The single also made a re-entry on the Canadian Hot 100 at number 87 on 28 April 2012,
[32]
eventually peaking at number seven on 22 September.
[33]
In late December 2012, "Lights" spent its 52nd week on the Hot 100 at number 43, becoming the 30th song in the chart's history to spend a year on the tally.
[34]
In June 2013, it became the fifth best-selling digital song by a British female solo artist in the US.
[35]
"Lights" was certified seven-times Platinum by the
Recording Industry Association of America
(RIAA) on 29 March July 2023.
[36]
"Lights" saw moderate success in mainland Europe, charting at number one in Poland, number eight in Austria, number 10 in Belgium and Slovakia, number 11 in Germany, number 14 in Switzerland, number 22 in the Czech Republic and number 29 in France.
[37]
[38]
[39]
[40]
In New Zealand, the song debuted at number 25 on the
RIANZ Singles Chart
on 25 June 2012, reaching number 16 in its fifth and ninth weeks on the chart.
[41]
Music video
[
edit
]

Sophie Muller
on 21 September 2010 before the lead single from the

[42]
It was officially released on 20 January 2011.
[43]
The video shows Goulding dancing, playing the drums and the tambourine whilst different lighting effects including lasers surround her as she sings. It also shows her in numerous scenes swinging different hand-held lights and torches around giving the impression of a
light painting
, whilst the camera produces a
bullet time
effect like those used in
The Matrix
. The lighting rig in the video was created by a small group of students from
Middlesex University
.
