Lights is the debut studio album by English singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding. It was released on 26 February 2010 by Polydor Records, following the independent issue of its lead single, "Under the Sheets", through Neon Gold Records in 2009. Much of the album was recorded in producer Starsmith's home studio in Bromley, Essex, with additional contributions from producers including Frankmusik and Fraser T. Smith. Primarily a pop and folk record focusing on synth-pop and EDM, Lights blends acoustic guitar with electronic production and dance rhythms. The songs, many of which originated from Goulding's earlier songwriting, centre on themes of romantic uncertainty and personal reflection. Critics frequently noted the contrast between her hushed, folk-rooted vocal style and the album's glossy electro-pop arrangements. Lights was supported by four singles, including "Starry Eyed", "Guns and Horses" and "The Writer". Upon release, Lights received mixed reviews from music critics, with commentary often divided between praise for Goulding's distinctive voice and reservations about the album's production and originality.
