about this album
"Light On" is a song by American singer and songwriter Maggie Rogers. It was released on October 10, 2018 as the fifth single of Rogers' major-label debut studio album, Heard It in a Past Life (2019). Rogers co-wrote the song with Kid Harpoon and both co-produced it with Greg Kurstin. Announcing the song release, she revealed that the track was about "gratitude". "it’s the most vulnerable ive ever felt in a song" , she tweeted. In an interview with Billboard, Rogers revealed that the song was about "feeling out of control". She recalled, "There's always a part of it that has to feel like work or something that's not entirely you". Meredith Nardino of Atwood Magazine said that "...Rogers is laying her whole heart on the table, bringing us backstage to some of the most challenging moments of her creative life." Upon reviewing for the associated album, Clash called it as the "stand out track" of the album, commented: " where infectious energy and choppy beats are enough to bob Rogers’ characteristically peppy vocals over some of the prettiest melody you are likely to hear this year." Writing for Variety, Chris Willman said the track "gets passionate about feeling strangely passionless."
