Release and reception
"Light Em Up" was well-received. Rhian Daly, writing for NME, praised the song as being "bold, brilliant [and] thought-provoking." The song was also praised for its instrumentation, with "uplifting synth melodies" and "a foot-tapping beat you'll be dancing along to in no time," and described as "sound[ing] practically joyous, bright, supple guitar lines rippling like they’re being played on a wobbleboard and a loose rhythm section virtually encouraging finger-clicking, hip-dipping dad-dancing." Carolyn Menyes wrote that "Light Em Up" also excelled lyrically, "infusing together tight hooks with a lyrical bite."

Music Video
The music video premiered on 17 May 2017.

The band revealed that as they are currently on a world tour, which started in Asia in February and ends in Australia in October! The band announced that due to their massive 101 date tour taking up so much time, they didn't have any free time to make a proper music video, so instead - they got creative.

The video features mostly many exciting scenes from the tour itself, showing the band performing to sold out arenas! They also took their own handheld camera on tour with them and have been filming their adventures around the globe, including this within the video! It shows the boys messing around, meeting fans and rehearsing. Essentially, the friendship between the four boys really shines through.

There's also some really cute scenes too showing Syd and Apollo surprising Aaron on one of his dates, and Mikey's wife Rachel doing the same.
