Just as with their collaboration on the Billboard Hot 100-topping “Down,” Jay Sean and Lil Wayne have joined forces to create another upbeat club-banger that’s angling to become a summer radio staple. Riding the wave of an ongoing pop trend, “Hit the Lights” weaves together dance-pop melodies and rapping in a style that recalls Enrique Iglesias’ “Tonight (I’m Lovin’ You)” and Flo Rida’s “Club Can’t Handle Me.” As electronic beats pound in the background, Sean croons, “Put your lighters in the air/ Let ’em burn into the night/ And let everybody know/ That you’re with it and you’re ready to go.” Meanwhile, Lil Wayne adds a welcome amount of hip-hop with his slippery-voiced rapping. “Hit the Lights” hopes to repeat the chart success of “Down” before Sean’s fourth album, “Freeze Time,” receives a spring release.
