"Bright Lights" is the third single off Matchbox Twenty's third album, "More Than You Think You Are". The song proved to be a hit for the band, peaking at 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song is written by lead singer Rob Thomas, and is about a girl who leaves her hometown to pursue an unspecified career of some fame. Throughout the song, he pleads with the girl to let her know that she is encouraged to return home if things don't work out.

Music video

The video is taken directly from footage released on the DVD show, "Show: A Night in the Life of Matchbox Twenty", and as such, is a live performance. As he also does in the studio version of the song, Rob Thomas plays the piano, and towards the end, Kyle Cook jumps atop the piano and plays a solo while the rest of the band jam out the song.
