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 them when I'm alone Home 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 them when I'm alone Home (Light, lights, lights, lights) (Light, lights, lights, lights) Home, home (light, lights, lights, lights) 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 them when I'm alone Home, home (light, lights, lights, lights) Home, home (light, lights, lights, lights)

A música foi inspirada pelo medo que Ellie Goulding tinha do escuro na infância.
No Estados Unidos, "Lights" atingiu a segunda posição da Billboard Hot 100 após passar trinta e três semanas no ranking.
A faixa é uma das poucas músicas a ter permanecido por mais de um ano na parada Hot 100.
"Lights" vendeu mais de quatro milhões de cópias apenas nos Estados Unidos.
Originalmente lançada como faixa bônus na edição do iTunes do álbum Lights, a música foi reeditada para compor o relançamento Bright Lights.
Em fins de 2012, a música ocupou a quinta posição na parada anual da Hot 100 e liderou a tabela anual de Pop Songs.
