"When the Lights Go Out" was the second single released from Five's debut album "5ive" in early/mid 1998.

"When the Lights Go Out" was co-written by Eliot Kennedy, Tim Lever and Mike Percy (from the band Dead or Alive), J. McClaughlin and 5ive themselves; it was co-produced by Eliot Kennedy, Tim Lever and Mike Percy. "When the Lights Go Out" is the band's biggest hit to date, and their only top ten hit in the United States. An alternate version of the song, which Abs' rap replaces J's rap was made especially for the US release; thus being two separate videos for each version.

Five's biggest hit to date internationally, "When the Lights Go Out" is considered somewhat to be their debut single in most countries (except in the UK), peaking at number 2 in Australia and number 10 in the US. The song also spent a massive 6 months in the Billboard Hot 100 charts.
