The performance video stars Luke Hemmings
Internationally acclaimed dance music powerhouse Galantis, superstar DJ/producer David Guetta & multi-platinum pop-rock band 5 Seconds of Summer have released an acoustic version of their smash single “Lighter,” available now alongside an intimate performance video starring Luke Hemmings.
The soaring original collaboration landed No. 1 on the US Dance Radio chart, created an incredible buzz among fans on social media and has amassed over 60 million streams to date. The single was the first new music release from 5 Seconds of Summer in over a year and marked yet another massive team-up between Galantis and David Guetta, notably following their gold-certified collaborative single “Heartbreak Anthem” with Little Mix.
“Lighter” is among several monumental singles off Galantis’ fourth studio album Rx, a 14-track straight shot of adrenaline and emotional catharsis. Karlsson exclusively discussed the album’s inspiration, along with 5 Seconds of Summer’s Michael Clifford, recently on ABC News’ Nightline, reflecting on his incredible 20+ year career, the future of Galantis and more.
One of dance music’s most dynamic and in-demand live performers, Galantis has sold out countless venues globally and has thrilled crowds across the global festival circuit. Last month marked the third-annual return to Brooklyn Mirage for two sold-out Midsommar shows, ahead of upcoming high-profile summer festival sets at Lollapalooza next week, a performance at LIV Nightclub in Las Vegas and more.
