Did You Know?

Interesting facts and trivia about Kill The Lights. By Songfacts®.

Luke Bryan wrote this song, which contains an almost EDM beat, with father-and-son producers Jeff and Jody Stevens. "They came out to the house one day," he related to Taste of Country. "Jody is a great track guy. He builds tracks at the house, works on stuff, and he played me this kind of, just a real funky groove, and I heard it, and I loved it." Jody Stevens' track lined up perfectly with an idea that Bryan already had stored away. "I went in my phone, and I had typed in a title for a song called 'Kill the Lights,'" the singer recalled. "We started it there. We didn't really know any direction." Bryan drew from his own personal experience for the lyrics. "I remember being 17, 18 and going down a dark dirt road, and cutting the lights off on the truck," he recalled. "I think it made for a really really sexy, uptempo song that a lot of people can relate to, and I think a few people out there probably killed some lights out in the middle of nowhere."

The Kill the Lights album debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 200 chart with more than 345,000 copies sold. It was the largest sales week for a country LP in three years - since Bryan's previous full album,Crash My Party, which arrived at #1 with 528,000 in August 2013.
