"Red Lights" is a song by Dutch musician, DJ and record producer, Tiësto. The song features uncredited vocals from Michel Zitron, who co-wrote the song with Wayne Hector, Carl Falk, Rami Yacoub, Tijs Verwest and Måns Wredenberg. "Red Lights" was first released on December 13, 2013 through PM:AM Recordings as the lead single from Tiësto's fifth studio album, ''A Town Called Paradise'' (2014). "Red Lights" is mostly a musical change from Tiësto's previous releases as it departs from his trademark trance influenced sound and sees him experimenting with new genres through the incorporation of acoustic elements into his music, which highlights his ability to adapt to the expanding EDM market. "Red Lights" received generally mixed reviews from contemporary music critics and performed moderately well in most major music markets. It became Tiësto's first number-one hit in Scotland, his first top ten hit in the United Kingdom and his highest charting single in Ireland and Australia. Additionally, "Red Lights" also became Tiësto's second highest charting single in the United States, where it has peaked at number fifty-six on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100. The song also enjoyed success on the US Dance charts, peaking at number-two on the US Billboard Hot Dance Club Songs and number-six on the US Billboard Hot Dance/Electronic Songs charts. ==Background and release== Tiësto's fifth studio album, ''A Town Called Paradise'' was released on June 13, 2014. While little was initially known regarding Tiësto's collaborators for the album, it had been revealed that the album would mark a departure from Tiësto's "traditional trance sound". "Red Lights" was eventually released as the album's lead single on December 13, 2013 after making its premier on November 29, 2013 on BBC Radio 1. The song's release coincided with Tiësto's move to Republic Records and his announcement of plans to release an "artist album" in 2014.〔https://papaya.com.hr/news/6-tiesto-premieres-latest-red-lights-on-bbc-radio-1〕 Tiësto stated that "Red Lights" would be one of two songs unveiled prior to the release of "Footprints", another one of his songs which premiered at the Tomorowworld Festival in September 2013. During an interview with the ''Miami NewTimes'', Tiësto revealed that the original version of "Red Lights" had been developed two and a half years prior to its release. Swedish record producer Rami Yacoub brought the song to Tiësto's attention by playing its chorus to him. Tiësto reflected on this experience by commenting, "I was like, Wow, this is so uplifting and euphoric! This is so me! And I knew that I wanted to work on the track. It was a very long process, but it was definitely worth it".〔http://blogs.miaminewtimes.com/crossfade/2014/03/tiesto_interview_ultra-music-festival_miami_2014.php〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Red Lights (song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
