Song information

In interviews Iglesias has stated that the for the album Escape he started using a different method to writing songs than he'd used before. Starting off with a title or single idea he would write the song around it. "Don't Turn Off the Lights" was the first song to use this method and set the tone for many of the other songs on the album. At the time it was expected that the song would be the album's first, in an interview with Mexican radio station Exa FM Iglesias stated that he believed the track would be the first single from his then upcoming album. The single was released in August 2002 and became very successful in Australia and New Zealand, peaking into the top ten in both countries. However in United States was not as successful, peaking only at number 110 in the Billboard Hot 100. The song however did significantly push up sales of the album in the US during Iglesias's promotion. Iglesias promoted the week of Thanksgiving performing the song the TV shows Last Call with Carson Daly, MTV's TRL, Live with Regis and Kelly and attracted the largest crowd ever at the Today Show summer concert series.[1] A Spanish version of the song was also released titled "No Apagues La Luz".
