"Lighters"
Song

"Lighters" is a song from American hip hop duo Bad Meets Evil, a group composed of Royce da 5'9" and Eminem, released as the second single from their first EP, Hell: The Sequel. Shady Records released the song for mainstream radio airplay in the United States on July 5, 2011. The song features American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars, who was added after the original cut. The song was produced and written by Eminem, Battle Roy and music production group The Smeezingtons. Eminem and Royce da 5'9" have said that they wanted to attempt something different and wanted to break the typical album format that stereotypical hip hop artists use.

"Lighters" is an alternative hip hop song which has been said by critics to incorporate soul music with influences of synthpop. It is noted for being different in style from any other song on the EP. The song features bass, cymbals and keyboards with percussion used in most of the song. The song was met with mixed reviews; some critics praised the change in style, as a break from more hardcore and aggressive themes of the other tracks found in Hell: The Sequel, while others criticized it for the same reason. Despite the mixed reception, the song performed generally well commercially, reaching the top ten in New Zealand, Switzerland, the United Kingdom and the United States. "Lighters" was performed at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival and the Lollapalooza music festival.

The accompanying music video was shot in July 2011 and was directed by Rich Lee. The two rappers are seen in an underground tunnel with pipelines as red highway flares illuminate the setting. Mars sings and plays a piano in the video in a sunlit room. The video was met with positive reception for its positive and inspirational message.

Background

Royce da 5'9" spoke to Canadian music magazine Exclaim! about the origins of Bad Meets Evil's collaboration with R&B and pop singer Bruno Mars. Originally, "Lighters" was intended to be featured on Royce's fifth solo studio album, Success Is Certain.[1] It was produced solely by Minnesota producer Battle Roy. Eminem had been inspired to write and record the first verse, prompting Royce to write his the day afterwards. According to Eminem and his radio channel, Shade 45, Mars was not in the original cut of the song, and there was instead a rough chorus rapped by Bad Meets Evil.[2] The rough version also had a different beat. After Mars was asked to feature in the hook, he made changes and wrote his own hook and small verse, with production from The Smeezingtons.[2] Royce da 5'9" and Eminem wanted to make a different song different from the styles of the rest of the album:

Bruno Mars is incredible, man. [...] The dude's an incredible talent, you know what I'm saying? The way he sings and some of the notes and shit he hits, he's fuckin' sick with it. [...] Let's not stick to the basic and typical album structure, you know, the way everybody else is doing things and try to be..you know, go out of a way to do things. Let's just have fun with it and see where it takes us.

— Eminem, Interview on Shade 45[2]

The song was recorded in various places; it was recorded in Effigy Studios (Ferndale, Michigan) by Mike Strange , Isolation Studios by Asar and Levcon Studios (Los Angeles, California) by Ari Levine of The Smeezingtons, a music production and songwriting group consisting of Philip Lawrence and Mars as well.[3] The song was written by Eminem, Royce da 5'9", The Smeezingtons and Battle Roy, who all (save for Royce) also produced the song. Battle Roy and Joe Strange also engineered the song.[3] Detroit producer Luis Resto provided additional keyboards for the song, who does so for six other tracks on the EP as well.[3]

On May 25, 2011, when the album track listing of Hell: The Sequel was announced, "Lighters" was revealed to the public to feature Mars.[4] "Lighters" hit contemporary hit radio on July 5, 2011 as the second single from the EP, released by Shady Records.[5]

"Lighters", featuring Mars, was composed and produced by Eminem, The Smeezingtons (composed of Mars, Philip Lawrence and Ari Levine), Battle Roy and Royce da 5'9".[6] Additional keyboards were provided by Luis Resto.[3] It is mainly an alternative hip hop track, being different from the hardcore rap style used in other songs by Bad Meets Evil in Hell: The Sequel,[7] instead taking influences as a pop rap.[7][8] According to Royce, "We figured we'd have one song for other people to listen to. [...] People who don't like listening to straight-up, raw, rappitty-rap lyrics. One joint to show versatility."[1] Jon Dolan from Rolling Stone referred to the song as having a "soul-ballad hook."[9] The song has an electronic keyboard instrumental, similar to the B.o.B and Mars collaboration "Nothin' on You", which is heard during the chorus.[10] Jason Newman of MTV said that the track is unlike Bad Meets Evil's "late-'90s string of dark, misanthropic singles".[11]

Written in the key of C major, "Lighters" has a moderate tempo of 92 beats per minute.[8] The song begins with "warm, pleasing" vocals from Mars: "This one's for you and me, living out our dreams" has nothing but a musical keyboard playing on the instrumental, which is reminiscent of "Nothin' on You".[12] When Eminem starts his verse, a cymbal sound is heard, followed by a constant thumping beat which is played for the rest of his verse.[13] This beat is later joined by another bass beat after Eminem says his first few lines and when his lines are more aggressive.His verse appears to be a message to people who have hated him.[11] This style is used for Royce's verse as well.[13] Mars' next two plays of the hook and a bridge use a fast bass beat and rhythm. The final play of the hook is without any percussion, similar to the first play.[13] The song is just over five minutes in length and is the longest song on Hell: The Sequel.[14]

Reception

Overall, "Lighters", featuring Mars, was met with mixed reviews. Most critics commented on the difference of style the song has compared to other songs on the EP Hell: The Sequel. This was met with both positive and negative reception. Rob Markman from MTV News spoke about his opinion on the new song after it leaked on June 3, 2011, which was a positive one. He wasn't surprised to hear Eminem's performance. "It's hard to imagine a time when Eminem wasn't regarded as one of rap's elite, but his past drug abuse did take its toll before he reemerged triumphant on last year's Grammy Award-winning album Recovery."[15] He also commented on Royce da 5'9"'s verse; "The gritty Detroit MC recalls his own battles to the top, referencing doubters at every turn."[15] Billboard editor Jason Lipshutz published a track-by-track review of each song on the album. He thought that the song did not fit in with the rest of Hell: The Sequel, but alone, is a good song: "[The] track doesn't fit with EP, but Em's effortless confidence carries the celebratory anthem."[16] Jon Dolan of Rolling Stone spoke about "Lighters" in an album review: "All the evil meeting badness can get pretty ugly [...]. But there's genuine humanity, too." and that the song is complimented by a "soul-ballad hook."[9] Magazine XXL commented on the song, saying it is "another break from the typical vicious lyrical assault."[17] About.com's Bill Lamb gave a genreally positive review, naming it "an engaging, soulful pop hip hop blend," but went on to mention that the song "sounds a bit schmaltzy at times."[12]

Some criticized Mars' guest appearance on the track, saying that he would have performed better on a solo track.

"Lighters" was met with mixed to negative reviews as well. David Jeffries from Allmusic said that "the glossy 'Lighters' feels more like a Bruno Mars track than Detroit diesel."[18] Consequence of Sound gave a mixed review of the EP, and a rather negative review on "Lighters". Winston Robbins believes that the chorus, by Mars, does not fit into a rap song and would have done better on a solo track or with another artist, "but it is so far from home next to the hard verses of two of rap’s bad boys."[19] Chad Grischow of IGN gave a similar review, calling the song 'strange' and 'unusual'. Grischow did not favor the influences of "gooey synthpop" and soul fusion genres.[20] "In the end, this brief look at the duo's skills does not fully deliver what you expect, but still leaves you wanting to hear more."[20] Music website PopMatters said that "Lighters" was the only disappointing one of 11 tracks on the EP (Deluxe Edition) and "it’s easy to press the skip button if you’d like to."[21] Web magazine Plugged In Online, once a magazine that published reviews from a Conservative Christian's perspective, favored Mars' rapping but harshly criticized the duo's lyricism: "These two Detroit rappers use a lot more nasty words to get the job done".[22] The reviewer went on to analyze Royce's verse: "Toss in nods to toking marijuana and two allusions to oral sex, and you've got a pretty good picture of what Royce's vision of 'living out our dreams' looks like in action."[22] Royce da 5'9" responded to the criticism of "Lighters" and according to him, Eminem and he wanted to be versatile with the EP.[23] "I don’t want that audience to think that I can only do one thing. It shows versatility on my end and it was a good way to set up Slaughterhouse."[23]

"Lighters" generally did better on the charts than the predecessor single "Fast Lane". Other than the United States and Canada, the song charted in parts of Europe as well. It charted in Austria, Denmark, Ireland, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the United Kingdom (including Scotland). The song also charted Australia and New Zealand, performing better in the latter. On June 19, 2011, six days after its release in the United Kingdom, the song entered the UK Singles Chart at number 37 and peaked at number 30.[24] On August 11, 2011, "Lighters" peaked at 5 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, entering the top five, while it peaked at number 10 on the Canadian Hot 100 songs chart and number 8 on the Hot Digital Songs.[25][26] "Lighters" did best in New Zealand, entering the New Zealand charts and peaking at number 2 on June 27, 2011.[27] "Lighters" charted at its lowest peak position in Austria, at number 45. It has sold 1,025,000 copies in the US.[28][29]

Music video

The "Lighters" music video began shooting on July 20, 2011 in Los Angeles, California.[30] The video was directed by American music video and commercial director Rich Lee, who previously shot the "Not Afraid" music video with Eminem, in which Royce had a cameo.[30][31] Mars revealed to MTV that the video would "leave fans inspired" and that it is "a very beautiful [video]. I haven't even seen it yet, but I think it's going to be beautiful."[32] Not revealing any specific details about the music video, he jokingly added "I'm doing handstands, and I'm juggling naked."[32] He promised that it would be released "very soon".[32] The video was uploaded to music video website VEVO on August 22, 2011.[33]

Royce da 5'9" in the music video, rapping in an undergound tunnel system, illuminated by red highway flares.

The music video begins as Mars, wearing a leather jacket, starts playing an upright piano, singing the beginning lyrics of the song, as the Sun shines towards him from a window. As he sings, the video cuts between scenes where a blonde haired Eminem lays on a couch in an untidy living room, wearing a white T-shirt and baggy red pants. He stares towards the ceiling, wondering, and later picks up a notepad with lyrics, preparing to start rapping his verse. This also intercut with a scene in which Eminem is seen rapping in an underground tunnel with plumbing systems while red highway flares illuminate the setting. As he continues rapping in the tunnel, the video occasionally cuts to the living room setting and Eminem gets off the couch; he finds a trap door underneath the couch and goes into it, climbing down a ladder to find himself in the same underground tunnel where he raps in the other scene. He lights a flare, as he navigates through a series of tunnels; while Mars sings the chorus once again in the same setting as before, Eminem continues to search through the tunnels.

Royce da 5'9" begins rapping as he is incarcerated a prison cell, occasionally cutting to scenes of him rapping undergound. Royce finds a poster and peels it off the wall to find a door compartment in the cell, a reference to the 1994 drama film, The Shawshank Redemption.[34] He crawls through it, to find himself in the tunnel setting; he lights a flare to help navigate through the system. As Mars sings the bridge, the two rappers find their way out of the tunnels, through a manhole which leads them to a grassy field, where Mars sings. As the Sun starts to set, numerous couples, along with Bad Meets Evil, gather to see a large group of rising lanterns aglow. Beats by Dr. Dre headphones are advertised in the video.[35] One couple gathers in front of a Chrysler 300.[36] As the video reaches its conclusion, the setting gets dark and Mars sings the last lines.

Becky Bain from Idolator wrote, "Bruno jams out on his 88 keys while the 'King Of Hip-Hop' and his Bad Meets Evil cohort Royce da 5′9″ go underground, emerging to the sight of thousands of lanterns lighting up the sky."[33] Consequence of Sound's Chris Coplan said that "all three men emerge to exactly what they’d been singing for: a sky full of decorative lamps."[37] Kyle Anderson from Entertainment Weekly gave a mixed review, criticizing the level of lighting in the video as he says, "it is literally difficult to see anything that is going on," but praised the final scene of glowing lanterns, naming it possible "the most compellingly beautiful thing to appear in an Eminem video."[35] James Montgomer, from MTV News, wrote: "It's a stirring image, for sure, and yes, you can probably read plenty into it."[34]

Eminem and Royce da 5'9" made their debut live performance as Bad Meets Evil for "Fast Lane" and "Lighters" at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival.[38][39] They were accompanied by Eminem's hypeman from D12, Mr. Porter.[39] Mars was not seen at the performance, however.[40] The live show was complimented with animated lighters in the background screen.[40] The duo wore Bad Meets Evil t-shirts and black hoodies.[39] Eminem also wore camouflage shorts.[41] In the beginning of the performance, Eminem asked the audience to hold their lighters, if they had brought one, which most did.[39] The performance was widely praised; James Montgomery from MTV said, "It's the same renewed vigor Eminem has displayed on his most-recent efforts."[39] News reporter Adam Graham from The Detroit News favored the performance, commenting on its effect on the audience: "Royce joined his partner-in-rhyme on stage for two songs, 'Fast Lane' and 'Lighters,' the latter of which lit up the humongous field in front of the [stage] in a sea of Bic lighters."[42] Magazine The Hollywood Reporter quoted, "Bonnaroo's crowd may be a hippie enclave, but you wouldn't have known it Saturday night."[41] Mars joined Bad Meets Evil to perform "Lighters" on the second day of Lollapalooza 2011, which took place in Chicago and once again, they were accompanied by Mr. Porter.[43] Piet Levy from USA Today newspaper named the performance as "the evening's highlight".[43] During the show, many fans held up Bic lighters and lit their cell phones and cameras.[44] Leah Greenblatt from Entertainment Weekly quoted the show as "a set heavy on hard-spat hits".[45] Gil Kaufman from MTV News thought of Mars' chorus as "a feathery pop sheen to the harder-edge".[44] Mars also brought a silver guitar with him that he occasionally played.[46] "Lighters" was included on Eminem's setlist at V2011 (V Festival), which took place in Staffordshire and Chelmsford on August 20 and August 21, 2011, respectively.[47][48]
