If I told you that Cash Money crooner Jay Sean was in the market for another hit on the level of his breakthrough smash Down you’d probably take a look at the charts and recommend some kind of dance/pop/r&b jam jam. Great minds think alike. On new single Hit the Lights Jay Sean takes a trip deep inside night club culture, recruiting producers J-Remy & Bobbybass to craft an instantly recognizable combination of pounding bass and high energy synths. Of course if you’re searching for a smash securing a guest verse from Lil Wayne is always a good idea, and sure enough Tunechi stops by for a decent though not particularly memorable verse, but it’s all just foundation for Sean to lay down his lightly delivered vocals. While I can’t say Hit the Lights will be getting much play in El Casa de Nathan S. (unless I install some strobe lights in the crib), I get the feeling it might be just the thing to get the people excited for his upcoming album, Freeze Time, due to be released sometime this year.

Jay Sean will always have a hard time recreating the success of "Down," but this has a good shot at charting well.

It was good. I just think when people hear this there not gonna like it as much as they should because itz not as memorable or as catchy as "Down." I still see this gettin plenty of play though in clubs and on the radio!

Haven't heard from Jay in a minute. This is a pretty good look for him right now too. Should get the radio play he's looking for, and has legitimate club appeal as well. Not to mention Weezy's not too bad of a look either. We'll see what happens with this one.

I agree about always having to compete with himself for the success of Down, but this may be his best shot at it yet. Huge club appeal while still riding the bandwagon of the euro dance hip pop that's big right now. With another Wayne feature, this is sure to be a smash.

Now this is something to jam to! Does Jay Sean work with anyone besides J-Remy & Bobby Bass, and Alan Sampson? Not fond of the Weezy feature though; seems just like filler time to me.

Why do I like this, I dont want to like this. This is a recycled formula. But, it should have the ladies moving their hips and if the ladies are moving their hips then thumbs up Jay Sean.

I mean, what is there to say really? This is pop in the truest sense of the word - nothing complicated, but you can't help but enjoy yourself at least a little bit. Look forward to hearing this 47 times a day on your local radio station.

Like on a serious note, is this dance music phase ever gonna die? I cant be the only person not amused with the lack of creativity by these artists! Anyway, its worth a head nod, or 3. Kanye said it, "Another God damn dance tracks gotta hurt".

House music, that will rock the club the artist has a smooth voice, I would like more of an edge/aggression approach to this track... Radio player.

This is the type of music that I really have no interest in. However, it's also the music that BLOWS up on the radio. Agreed with @NathanS: look to hear this one all day on your local radio spot.

Wish I could say I've never heard a song like this before. and that It's so innovative and groundbreaking. but unfortunately, it's not.
I'm sure my girlfriend will be singing along to it in no time, but me...not so much. |

Jay gots some vocals but I disagree with the direction he is going.
I definitely expected better. This song has potential but its up to the audience to fall for it. I didn't. |

Ehh. I loved Down, but I am just not feeling this. I think I might be outgrowing pop and acciedntally maturing too much. Lol. However, it took me a while to like Down, so who knows?

This has potential but it may have a hard time standing out from similar offerings by bigger name offerings. Wayne was a poor choice for this song - his lackluster verse drags down the energy.
Very accessible pop. |

Not a fan of jay sean at all, simply because hes not going back to his roots, going for the fame, going for the money which really annoys me... furthermore, this song is annoying.
although wayne is impressive but its obvious sean uses him for a big hit, doubt it wil work this time. |

Meh. Down & Do You Remember were both enjoyable. This I'll shoot though. In the head. So it stays dead.
