Ravyn Lenae stepped away from the studio for a while after dropping her third EP, Crush, in early 2018. "Rewind" — a track that premiered with The FADER in 2020 and appeared on the Insecure Season 4 soundtrack — is the sole song the Chicago R&B singer released in the four-year interim between that tape and her February single, "Skin Tight." A month later, she's back with "Light Me Up," a slow and sensual cut about embracing the uncertainty of an early-stage relationship.

The new track is produced by Steve Lacy, who was also featured on "Skin Tight" and two songs from Crush. His tactile guitars, whispered drums, and eerily quiet bass line accent each inflection in Lenae's voice, which dances playfully around every note, vibrating with infatuation.
