"Brightside" (stylized in all uppercase) is a song by American folk rock band The Lumineers.
It was released on September 20, 2021, as the lead single from the band's fourth studio
album of the same name. The song was written by Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz, and
produced by Simone Felice, David Baron, Brian Hubblen, Rick Mullen and Derek Brown.[1]
Content[edit]
The band's singer-guitarist Wesley Schultz stated in a press release: "The song 'Brightside'
was recorded in a single day. It's like a 15-year-old's fever dream, an American love story in
all its glory and heartbreak. The last couple left, on the run from something and all alone."[2]
Music video[edit]
An accompanying video was released on September 29, 2021, and directed by Kyle Thrash.
It was filmed at an American Legion Hall. At the beginning of the video, a variety of people
answer the question: "What does love mean to you?" And showcases "the love of couples of
all ages, races, and genders dance the waltz around the band as they perform the song."[3]
Schultz commented the video: "The 'Brightside' music video is like a documentary of the
American love story. It features all real people - none of the people that appear in it are
actors".[4]
Live performance[edit]
On September 20, 2021, the band performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[5]
