Canadian Electro-Pop Powerhouse, Lights, Shines Brighter Than Ever With 'Learning To Let Go'

There’s an electrifying magic that happens when an artist channels heartbreak, reflection, and personal growth into music that feels both intimate and expansive.

Canadian electro-pop powerhouse Lights has done exactly that with her shimmering new single, “Learning To Let Go.” The track is more than a song, it’s a journey through the messy middle of life, that liminal space between heartbreak and healing where freedom feels like both a victory lap and a blind sprint.

From the very first synth swell, Lights’ mastery over texture, melody, and emotional nuance is clear. The song explores that shape-shifting nature of our emotions, the way perception can twist and bend depending on where we are in life. As Lights explains, “‘Learning To Let Go’ is essentially about emotional shapeshifting. The way our perception of something can change depending on our headspace or past experiences to the point where it’s hard to see the reality in a situation and extrapolate truth. Sometimes our only way forward is to learn to let go.” And listening to the track, you feel that journey unfold with every beat.

The dreamy accompanying music video, conceived and edited entirely by Lights herself, mirrors the song’s emotional depth. Every frame is a careful balance of ethereal beauty and cinematic storytelling, creating a visual experience that’s as personal as it is mesmerizing. It’s another example of Lights’ relentless creative vision, an artist not content to simply perform her music, but to live inside it.

“Learning To Let Go” is the second single from A6EXTENDED, the deluxe edition of her critically acclaimed 2025 album A6. The expanded release features eight brand-new songs that dive even deeper into the emotional and sonic world Lights has been building.

Following the synth-driven standout “Education,” this latest single continues her exploration of personal growth, love, grief, and the reckless bliss of being alive. In Lights’ hands, vulnerability and empowerment are inseparable, and utterly magnetic. What sets Lights apart is her commitment to creating work that is fully her own.

A6EXTENDED is entirely written and produced by Lights, capturing the breadth of her experiences, from past lessons and personal loss to sensuality, joy, and the wild unpredictability of love. It’s music that reads like pages from a private journal, shared openly and honestly with the world.

With her ‘COME GET YOUR GIRL’ 2026 tour just around the corner, spanning 23 North American dates, including stops in Edmonton, Calgary, London, Ottawa, Quebec, and Montreal, there’s no better time to experience this new chapter of Lights’ artistry. “Learning To Let Go” isn’t just a single, it’s a reminder of why Lights continues to define the emotional and sonic heart of modern electro-pop. This is catharsis wrapped in synth, honesty woven into melody, and a vision from an artist unafraid to explore the full spectrum of human experience.

Lights is guiding us through heartbreak and healing, and she’s doing it with a brilliance that only she can command.
