The iconic Billy Joel has today announced his first new song in 17 years, ‘Turn The Lights Back On’ via this teaser on his social media. The song will arrive on Thursday 1 February. It will be available on all DSPs and will be pressed on limited-edition 7” vinyl. Pre-order/Pre-save at billyjoel.com.
‘Turn the Lights Back On’ will also be accompanied by a lyric video on his official YouTube channel. The song was produced by GRAMMY-nominated songwriter and producer Freddy Wexler and written by Wexler, Arthur Bacon, Wayne Hector and Joel.
The six-time GRAMMY® Award-winning Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® inductee and Kennedy Center® honoree initially alluded to the song on TikTok, following his debut on the platform.
Now, he delivers a classic Billy Joel-style tune, embodying the hallmarks of his signature sound and ushering in the next chapter of his story. In the lyrics, he asks, “Did I wait too long… to turn the lights back on?”
Billy Joel remains one of the most influential artists of all time and a generational storyteller without comparison. Beyond selling over 160 million albums around the world, he has won six GRAMMY® Awards out of 23 nominations. Among dozens of accolades, he earned induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame® in 1992, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® in 1999, and the Long Island Music Hall of Fame® in 2006. Moreover, he became the MusiCares “Person of the Year” in 2002 and received the Kennedy Center® Honors in 2013.
Hits such as ‘Piano Man’, ‘Uptown Girl’, and ‘We Didn’t Start The Fire’ have resounded through eras. Upon his 100th sold-out performance at Madison Square Garden, the state of New York (his home) declared July 18 “Billy Joel Day”.
