In retrospect, the song describes the year 2015. A perfect year, in which the protagonist experienced a series of events that can only be understood as pure happiness and love. However, from the present perspective, when the song came to life, the protagonist finds himself in a more troubled period of time, and therefore wants to be lit up by the year 2015 again.
Light Me Up Again was written by Dominik Robin and Raphael Schneider, long-term collaborators and friends that have been touring with Neo & Neo from 2016 to 2018 in Germany, Switzerland, Lebanon and Russia. The song was recorded and produced by Stefan Huber in Zürich and mastered by Dan Suter.
