According to Starry Eyed Songfacts, after attending the University of Kent studying drama for a couple of years, Ellie moved to West London for the purpose of developing her songs and music career. Touring since 2008 she released her debut single "Under The Sheets" on 15 November 2009. The track was produced by Starsmith, with whom she has been working since the beginning of her career.

It has so far produced two additional singles: "Your Song," a cover of Elton John's song (which went on to become her biggest single to date in the UK, reaching #2) and the title track "Lights (Single Version)." Following this re-release, the album saw a surge in sales in both the UK and Ireland. On March 8, 2011, the album was released in the United States with alternate cover art and featuring three songs that were previously not on the original version but were included on Bright Lights, those songs being "Lights," "Animal," and "Your Song."
