Track 15 on Concept Vague by Night Lovell, produced by Lovell himself. Though this was the song that gave him massive exposure, Lovell revealed in an interview that he hates the song, but continues to perform it as his fans love the song very much, and as it’s his most popular song to date.

Lovell said he wrote the lyrics in his high school English class the day he recorded it, and the lyrics literally mean nothing. He said he had no direction in writing and “just threw words together.” This is what inspired the name of Lovell’s debut album Concept Vague, as he says most of the songs on the album mean nothing at all.

After uploading it to SoundCloud, it gained thousands of streams practically overnight, eventually gaining millions. Lovell said he was unaware of this until one of his friends texted him and informed him of the song’s popularity.

“Dark Light” currently has over 25 million streams on SoundCloud and 41 million views on YouTube.

The song was the second song Lovell ever recorded.^[[1] https://genius.com/Night-lovell-dark-light-lyrics]

Night Lovell is great, I remember finding him while just clicking on random videos circa 2016, I'd never really heard anyone quite like him. Found out recently that he signed to G59's label and is pretty big now, which I'm glad to hear
