Background
The song was first available in July 2012, after appearing as the seventh track on the bands debut album. On working with Coral Harris on the track, band member Joey Nicholson stated "she's our label boss and she's very hands on. She came down to the studio one day to listen to our material, and she felt an instant connection to 'Dim The Lights'. She ended up taking the track to her studio and contacted us two weeks later with the updated version, featuring her rap on it. We were all blown away."

The band and label were unable to decide on a fourth single from the album, so a poll was put on the bands official website, allowing fans to vote which track should be released between "Save Our Relationship", "Toast To The Girl", "Dim The Lights" and "The Best Memories". With a massive 55.56% of the vote, "Dim The Lights" got the most votes, and was chosen as the next single.

Release and reception
Robert Copsey from Digital Spy awarded it 4 stars and said: "'Dim The Lights' might be a sentimental number about being in love, but with Coral's feisty rap vocals, Jetfire's trademark pop/rock choonage and some deceptively catchy "Eh Eh"s, the urge to bound around the nearest open space for three minutes and 45 seconds is near-irresistible." Iain Moffatt from BBC Music said that: "even the perfectly serviceable of-the-moment pop of Dim The Lights are little preparation for the delights in store here". The Entertainment Focus review said that: "Across the record the band takes anthemic pop on the corking Dim The Lights". Johnny Dee from Virgin Media said: "A love song that packs a punch isn't something you hear everyday, but that's exactly what you get with "Dim The Lights" which sees the band teaming up with Coral Harris to good effect." Jack Foley from Indie London said that: "Dim The Lights showing what can be achieved when they fuse pop rock with dance-pop and combine rap vocals with Coral Harris".
