Lights takes the club to the car with her recent release, “Come Get Your Girl.” Her voice glows in electric, fast-paced productions, adding emotional depth to melodic bass and progressive house tracks. She centers the “Come Get Your Girl” around nostalgia and the open windows on the freeway with no destination in mind. Lights plays on the tension of hesitation and confessing how she feels, singing, “I don’t wanna wait anymore/ I’m in the city on the curbside/ Come get your girl.” This is a ride-or-die love—the type of partners that pick each other up at 3 a.m. when they need to clear their minds. “Come Get Your Girl” is as irreplaceable as that bond.
The single reignites an old flame with synthwave features. The four-on-the-floor rhythm speeds like a convertible racing over the broken white lines on the freeway. Lights changes lanes from reminiscing old drives to locking in on a ride-or-die partnership with analog synths that sweep like the air flowing through the window. The guitar echoes with a melodic riff and an extra percussive touch. Lights’s vocals break through like the conversations and the thoughts that come alive in the dark. “Come Get Your Girl” turns up the volume and celebrates life from the passenger seat.
Lights makes her career as a singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, comic book author, and DJ—the type of person who travels through every route. She has perfected the balance between dance music and storytelling. Lights has collaborated with Travis Barker, deadmau5, Kaskade, Illenium, Steve Aoki, and Seven Lions. Despite the subject, her vocals have a way of igniting hope that lingers after the song ends. The power to speak from her heart is what allows her to thrive and push the boundaries of indie, electronic, and dance music.
