"Lights Out" is a song by American singer-songwriter Lisa Marie Presley. Capitol Records released the song as the lead single from her debut album, To Whom It May Concern (2003). Presley originally did not want to release this song as her debut single nor record it, but she relented as she believed it would help "clear the air". She co-wrote the song with Glen Ballard and Clif Magness, and it was produced by Andrew Slater. "Lights Out" is a country rock song that reflects on Presley's background as Elvis Presley's daughter, mentioning Graceland's back lawn and the graves of her relatives.
In the United States, "Lights Out" was released on February 10, 2003, and it was issued in several other countries over the following months. The song received positive reviews from music critics, with several reviewers comparing Presley's vocals to those of Cher. Commercially, "Lights Out" peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart and achieved top-40 placings on two other Billboard charts. Internationally, the single reached the top 30 in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United Kingdom. A music video directed by Francis Lawrence was made to promote the single.[1]
