"City Lights" is a song recorded by American country music artist Tim McGraw from his second studio album for Big Machine Records, Sundown Heaven Town.[2] It was released as a promotional single in May 2015.
Critical reception
In his review of the album, Billy Dukes of Taste of Country praised McGraw's vocals and comparing to this previous single "Red Rag Top", saying that "The opening of ‘City Lights’ recalls ‘Red Ragtop’ from 2002. McGraw clips along to a restrained cadence, punctuating his verses as he compares himself to his love: “I’m a cigarette burnin’ slow on a summer night / She’s city lights,” he sings."[3]
Live performances
McGraw performed the song live on the finals of the sixth season of The Voice a day after the single's release.[4][5]
