Calum Scott

In contemporary music, few songs capture the essence of emotional resilience and the power of love quite like Calum Scott’s latest single, “Lighthouse.” Released on January 19, through Capitol Records and UMG Recordings, Inc., with publishing credits to B-Unique Publishing, Kobalt Music Publishing, and Warner Chappell Music, “Lighthouse” is a reflection of Scott’s growth as an artist and his ability to craft melodies that resonate with listeners worldwide.

The songwriting team, comprising Corey Sanders, Jon Maguire, Calum Scott, Charlie Martin, and Joe Housley, has crafted a harmony of lyrics that speak to the soul’s journey through darkness towards the light of love. Produced by The Nocturns and Jon “MAGS” Maguire, the track’s production quality is both pristine and emotive, allowing Scott’s vocal prowess to shine through.

The music video, directed by Ben Newbury and creatively led by Tom Bailey, was released on March 1st. It serves as a visual companion to the song’s narrative, enhancing the lyrical themes with striking imagery and storytelling. The video’s release has been met with critical acclaim, praised for its artistic direction and the way it complements the song’s message.

“Lighthouse” is a metaphorical journey through the trials of love and life. Scott’s lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person willing to brave the tumultuous seas of hardship for the sake of love. The chorus, “I won’t let you go / I feel it in my bones / No matter where I go / You’re where my heart belongs,” speaks volumes about the unyielding nature of true connection.

The song’s bridge, 'I belong right there in your open arms / The world can try to tear us apart / But our love will guide us home like a lighthouse,' conveys the song's core message — that love persists as a guiding light, a beacon in the darkness, akin to a lighthouse guiding lost ships to safety, despite any challenges that may arise.

“Lighthouse” is an anthem for those who have loved, lost, and continue to love against all odds. Calum Scott’s ability to translate such universal emotions into music is a rare gift, and “Lighthouse” is a shining example of his artistry. As the song continues to climb the charts and touch hearts, it stands as a reminder that sometimes, we only need a lighthouse to lead us back home.

Calum Scott - Lighthouse (Lyrics)

In the dark of the night, not a star in the sky
I can feel your love pull against the tide
And I see you shining bright like a lighthouse
And the wind's got the water running wild
But I'll swim to you, swim for my life
And I pray I'll make it before the night's out

I won't let you go
I feel it in my bones
No matter where I go
You're where my heart belongs
All I know
I'll follow every road
Till I find my way back home
You're where my heart
You're where my heart
You're where my heart belongs
I belong right there in your open arms

The world can try to tear us apart
But our love will guide us home like a lighthouse
Walk a thousand miles in the pouring rain
And a million years couldn't change the way
The way I feel, I feel 'bout you right now

I won't let you go
I feel it in my bones
No matter where I go
You're where my heart belongs
All I know
I'll follow every road
Till I find my way back home
You're where my heart
You're where my heart
You're where my heart belongs
