LIGHTS Takes Us Back to School With Education

Alright, class is in session, and the professor today is LIGHTS. Her latest track, “Education”, is like that perfect lesson you didn’t know you needed—but now you can’t stop thinking about it. Coming off her soon-to-drop extended edition of A6, officially titled A6Extended which is dropping on January 30th, 2026.

That’s right, the extended edition of A6 is coming next year, and it promises eight fresh tracks to add to your existing playlist chaos. Fans already freaked out over a recent Instagram teaser, where a whiteboard revealed a sneak peek of what might just be the full tracklist. Naturally, the internet collectively lost it.

review:

Now, let’s talk about “Education,” because honestly? LIGHTS has just taught the world a pop music masterclass. From the first line—“I can feel your hands / Running all over me / A typical event in anatomy”—you know you’re in for some cheeky yet clever wordplay. Anatomy lessons? Check. Chemistry with a capital “C”? Double check. By the time she hits “oh, your love is lifting me up / To a higher education”, you realize this isn’t just a song—it’s a degree in feelings, and your tuition is apparently unlimited feels.

Musically, “Education” is pure LIGHTS magic. There’s this intoxicating mix of her signature synth-pop sparkle and emotional heft, like a rollercoaster that teaches you life lessons mid-loop. That soaring chorus? Instant hair-down, head-off-the-ground energy. And yes, while the lyrics hit hard—“I could fly right now / I could cry right now / I could die right now”—they do it with a wink, reminding you that emotional intensity can be fun too.

But the real genius here is the repeated theme of growth: “Maybe I'm changing / Maybe I need more / Maybe I want things I didn't before”. LIGHTS is basically handing us a pop self-help manual disguised as a catchy bop. The pages are turning, the heart is learning, and honestly, I’m ready to enroll in this higher education program indefinitely.

And let’s not forget the subtle humor sprinkled throughout. Who else could make “anatomy” sound romantic while still keeping the whole thing uplifting? Only LIGHTS, only her. By the end, with the repeated “your love is lifting me up / To a higher education”, you’re not just vibing—you’re emotionally graduated.

So, if you’ve been wondering what A6Extended will bring, “Education” gives a pretty solid preview: eight new opportunities to fall in love with LIGHTS’ clever, heartfelt, synth-soaked world all over again. Consider this your syllabus, your pop exam, and your diploma, all in one 3–4 minute banger.

Sign me up, professor LIGHTS. I’m ready for class.
