“Blue Lights” is the debut single from Jorja Smith. The song is questioning why you should have a guilty conscience if you’ve done nothing wrong, with a fitting sample from Dizzee Rascal’s 2007 single “Sirens” from his Maths + English album.

“Blue Lights” received rave reviews upon its release for its introspective songwriting and co-signs from Skrillex and Stormzy have helped its rise in popularity. It was also featured on the sixteenth episode of OVO Sound Radio.

Jorja spoke with Pigeons & Planes on how she juggles studio time while working at Starbucks and the story behind “Blue Lights”:

The song is the beginning of my journey, and I wanted to start from home. Back home in Walsall is where I started writing, and this song is influenced by what I grew up around.
