Lighter (feat. Galantis & 5 Seconds of Summer)

David Guetta's 'Lighter,' featuring Galantis and 5 Seconds of Summer, is a vibrant anthem that explores the uplifting power of companionship. The song's lyrics paint a picture of two people who find solace and lightness in each other's presence, even when the world feels heavy and burdensome. The metaphor of 'paper planes in the sky' suggests a sense of freedom and weightlessness that comes from being with someone who makes life's challenges more bearable. This imagery is further emphasized by the contrast between the cold, harsh world and the warmth and brightness brought by the other person.

The recurring theme of feeling 'lighter' when with a loved one highlights the emotional support and comfort that close relationships can provide. The lyrics 'gravity held me tight, but with you, I can let go' and 'you take it all away and fill the empty spaces' suggest that the presence of a significant other can alleviate feelings of emptiness and heaviness. This idea is reinforced by the lines 'the cold ain't so cold as long as you're close,' which imply that the warmth of companionship can make even the most challenging situations more manageable.

The song also touches on the uncertainty of the future with the lines 'don't know 'bout tomorrow, but I know that today.' This reflects a common human experience of finding comfort in the present moment, especially when shared with someone special. The overall message of 'Lighter' is one of hope and resilience, emphasizing that love and connection can make life's burdens feel lighter and more manageable. The upbeat tempo and energetic production by David Guetta, Galantis, and 5 Seconds of Summer further amplify the song's positive and uplifting vibe, making it a feel-good anthem for anyone seeking a reminder of the power of togetherness.
