The first single from Jason Aldean's seventh studio album is about the rush he gets from performing and listening to fans singing along to every word. "Being on stage is why I do what I do; it's all I've ever wanted to do," Aldean said. ["Lights Come On"] is about throwing the biggest party, from the floor to the top of the rafters, for all those people who spent their paycheck to come see us."
The song is an ode to Aldean's day job. "The phrase, 'when the lights come on' to me, it's time to go to work," he explained. "You have a lot of people out here who spent money to buy a ticket to see our show. It's our job to go out every night and make sure they have a great time and forget whatever cares they've got going on and to let loose for a little while."
The video goes behind the scenes during Jason Aldean's Six String Circus Tour. It also serves as a celebration of the party atmosphere the singer creates with his shows. "I used to think it was cool to go and sell out a little night club somewhere or a little theater that we were playing," Aldean says at the clip's start. "Now, every night to play an arena or amphitheater or stadium and this many people are here to watch your show and sing your songs back to you, it exceeds anything I've ever dreamed up."
