Billy Joel will release his first pop song „Turn the Lights Back On“ in three decades on Feb. 1.
Step aside, “Uptown Girl.” There’s a new Billy Joel pop song in town.
For the first time in 30 years, the 74-year-old “Piano Man” singer will release a new pop song, titled “Turn the Lights Back On,” on Feb. 1.
Joel teased the new tune at the Dec. 19 show of his 10-year Madison Square Garden residency, telling the crowd, “I have good news. I have bad news. I’ll give you the bad news first. We don’t have anything new to play for you. The good news is you don’t have to sit through something you have no idea what it is,” Billboard reports
“Although we’ve got a little something we’ve been working on you might hear sometime.”
The song, written by Joel, Freddy Wexler, Arthur Bacon and Wayne Hector, includes the lyrics, “Did I wait too long … to turn the lights back on.
