"Lights Down Low" is a song written and recorded by American recording artist and reality television personality Jessie James Decker. It was first released August 14, 2015 through the independent label imprint Big Yellow Dog Music and is expected to be included on Decker's forthcoming second studio album.[1][2] The song, co-written by Alyssa Bonagura, was inspired by Decker's relationship with husband Eric Decker, with whom she stars on the E! network reality series, Eric & Jessie: Game On.[3][4]
"Lights Down Low" debuted at number 38 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, giving Decker her largest country music hit to date. In 2016, Decker signed a record deal with Epic Records and re-released the single through that label on June 17, 2016.[5] A music video directed by PR Brown premiered in July 2016 starring Decker and her husband.
