John Mayer seeks redemption and a fresh look on his slick new single, "New Light." The track premiered on May 10, 2018, on Zane Lowe's Beats 1 radio show. Mayer produced "New Light" with hip-hop stalwart No I.D., crafting a steady groove reminiscent of Eighties blue-eyed soul and tinged with disco guitars. Mayer's lyrics are both cheeky and earnest as he croons lines like, "Pushing 40 in the friend zone/We talk and then you walk away, every day," then pleads during the chorus, "But if you give me just one night/You're gonna see me in a new light." "New Light" marks Mayer's first solo offering since the release of his 2017 album, The Search for Everything.

Lyrics:
[Intro] Ah, ah, ah Ah... [Verse 1] I'm the boy in your other phone Lighting up inside your drawer at home, all alone Pushing 40 in the friend zone We talk and then you walk away, every day Oh, you don't think twice 'bout me And maybe you're right to doubt me, but [Chorus] But if you give me just one night You're gonna see me in a new light Yeah, if you give me just one night To meet you underneath the moonlight Oh, I want a take two, I want to break through I wanna know the real thing about you So I can see you in a new light [Verse 2] Take a ride up to Malibu I just wanna sit and look at you, look at you What would it matter if your friends knew? Who cares what other people say, anyway Oh, we can go far from here And make a new world together, babe [Chorus] 'Cause if you give me just one night You're gonna see me in a new light Yeah, if you give me just one night To meet you underneath the moonlight Oh, I want a take two, I want to break through I wanna know the real thing about you So I can see you in a new light [Bridge] Ay, ay Ay, ay Ay, ay Ay, ay Ay, ay Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah... [Chorus] Yeah, if you give me just one night You're gonna see me in a new light Yeah, if you give me just one night To meet you underneath the moonlight [Outro] What do I do with all this, what do I do with all this Love that's runnin' through my veins for you? What do I do with all this, what do I do with all this Love that's runnin' through my veins for you? What do I do with all this, what do I do with all this Love that's runnin' through my veins for you? What do I do with all this, what do I do with all this Ooh, yeah
