Jason Aldean Reveals “Lights Come On” Music Video

Jason Aldean‘s latest single, “Lights Come On,” has been heating up country radio since it’s release and is already in the Top 10 on the charts. Directed by Shaun Silva, the ACM Entertainer of the Year brings the song, and his Six String Circus Tour, to life with his brand new music video.

“I used to think it was cool to sell out a little night club, so now when I walk into an arena, amphitheater or stadium it completely exceeds anything I’ve ever imagined,” shares Aldean. “That’s what I really wanted to capture with this video…that moment we step on stage and give it everything we have. I want the fans to forget their cares and let loose for a few hours. They’re the ones who have allowed us to stay around this long. They’re still here supporting us, and that is why we do what we do every night.”

“Lights Come On” is the lead single from his forthcoming seventh studio album, and is available on digital media outlets such as iTunes here.

Aldean will head to Nashville next week to perform his new hit single at the CMT Music Awards (6/8), as well headline Nissan Stadium on Thursday night (6/9) for CMA Music Festival.
