"Neon Light" is a song written by Andrew Dorff, Mark Irwin and Josh Kear and recorded by American country music artist Blake Shelton. [1] It was released to country radio on August 18, 2014, as the lead single to his eighth studio album Bringing Back the Sunshine. [2] The album was released on September 30, 2014. [3]
The song is a mid-tempo with a "pulsing drum loop" and "banjo, acoustic guitar, and Telecaster piling on layer by layer". [4] It is about a man who heads to a bar after a breakup and states that "there's a neon light at the end of the tunnel". [4]
Jon Freeman of Country Weekly gave the song a "B". He called the song "a move back toward center and the more traditional country fare that launched his career" but criticized the repetition of the lyrics on the verses. [4]
The song was certified Gold by the RIAA on January 5, 2015. [5] It has sold 526,000 copies in the US as of January 2015. [6]
The music video was directed by Cody Kern and premiered on 12 September 2014. [7]
