Lights

"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.

Ellie Goulding - Lights Lyrics
Official




I had a way then
+
Losing it all on my own
+
I had a heart then
+
But the queen has been overthrown
+
And I'm not sleeping now
+
The dark is too hard to beat
+
And I'm not keeping up
+
The strength I need to push me
+
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
+
You shine it when I'm alone
+
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
+
And dreaming when they're gone
+
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
+
Calling, calling, calling home
+
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
+
You shine it when I'm alone
+
Noises, I play within my head
+
Touch my own skin
+
And hope that I'm still breathing
+
And I think back to when
+
My brother and my sister slept
+
In an unlocked place
+
The only time I feel safe
+
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
+
You shine it when I'm alone
+
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
+
And dreaming when they're gone
+
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
+
Calling, calling, calling home
+
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
+
You shine it when I'm alone
+
Home, home
+
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
+
You shine it when I'm alone
+
And so I tell myself that I'll be strong
+
And dreaming when they're gone
+
'Cause they're calling, calling, calling me home
+
Calling, calling, calling home
+
You show the lights that stop me turn to stone
+
You shine it when I'm alone
+
Home, home
+
Home, home
+
