The single's cover art was designed by Japanese pop artist, Takashi Murakami.
The song is used in the video game ''Grand Theft Auto IV''.
==Background==
West first unveiled "Flashing Lights" on August 27, 2007, at an album listening session for ''Graduation'' in New York City, where he played the song over a clip from the 2004 Hong Kong film ''2046'' which he later released on his official blog. The song features Detroit R&B singer Dwele on its chorus and contains additional vocals provided by Connie Mitchell of the Australian electronic group Sneaky Sound System.〔 The collaboration came about when Kanye met Mitchell's bandmates Angus McDonald and Daimon Downey at a diner in Sydney, Australia. Seeking musical inspiration, West asked McDonald for ideas, who in turn suggested that he be introduced to Mitchell. After their meeting, West asked Mitchell to record vocals for the song, as well as certain other tracks on ''Graduation.'' Mitchell later admitted that while she previously didn't know who West was and never really cared for hip-hop, the collaboration had changed her views.
As a result of its popularity, "Flashing Lights" was utilized by multiple media outlets. In December 2007, the song was used in an ad campaign for French vodka Cîroc, featuring spokesperson Sean Combs. It is featured in the popular action-adventure video game ''Grand Theft Auto IV'' on the in-game contemporary hip-hop radio station, The Beat 102.7. The song came to be included on ''Now That's What I Call Music 27''. In January 2009, "Flashing Lights" was used once again for the highly conceptualized promotional TV spots co-directed by Emnet Mulugeta and Marcus Engstrand of the upcoming part two of the fifth season ''Nip/Tuck''. The promo won gold at the North American Promax Awards. The song has been confirmed to be included within the setlist of the turntable music video game ''Scratch: The Ultimate DJ''. The song appeared in one episode of the MTV series ''My Life as Liz''.
