Sheffield’s rising duo SKYRACER has bottled an electrifying energy with their latest single “Under The Lights.”, a track that instantly magnetizes and makes you feel like the lead character in your own movie, places you on the neon-washed streets of New York City, where every glance, every spark, feels larger than life.
From the first shimmering synths, you know you’re in for a ride that flickers across your imagination like film reels. SKYRACER, comprising Daniel Fox and Chris Brayshaw, draws inspiration from the golden age of 1990s pop-rock, with a sound that recalls Boys Like Girls and Busted, while adding a modern sheen reminiscent of The 1975. It’s a cocktail of nostalgia and freshness, equal parts familiar and new.
The way “Under The Lights” captures that dizzying rush of first love makes it so exceptional. The big chorus hooks are unapologetically anthemic, the kind that makes you want to throw your arms around someone at a rooftop party and scream the lyrics into the skyline. The verses, on the other hand, balance intimacy with momentum, leading into a chorus that feels like fireworks timed to your heartbeat.
The accompanying video amplifies this feeling, setting the story within a cinematic framework that mirrors “Under The Lights” theme romance at its purest, set against the backdrop of sleepless city nights. It’s a reminder that love, especially the kind that sneaks up on you, often feels like you’re living in your own coming-of-age movie.
“Under The Lights” is a snapshot of youthful exuberance, a soundtrack to those moments when connection feels effortless, natural, and infinite. SKYRACER proves once again that they’re not just crafting pop-rock songs, they’re creating experiences meant to be felt as much as heard.
