• Lights Down Low" is a song by American singer Max Schneider (better known as MAX) from his 2016 album, Hell's Kitchen Angel.
• The song, which MAX used to propose to his wife Emily, was released in October 2016; it became a sleeper hit, entering the Billboard Hot 100 more than a year after its release, and also earning a Gold certification from the RIAA for sales of more than 500,000 copies.
• After the song's release, it drew much attention in the LGBTQ community. In a 2017 interview with Billboard, MAX stated that "It's not our song anymore. It's everybody's song. Everybody is able to add whatever they want to it, what it is to them, and in that way, it becomes so much less – it's not about us anymore. It's not about even the artist or the writer or the singer, it's about what it can stand for for people.
• The song became MAX's first Billboard Hot 100 entry as a lead artist. It peaked at number 20 on the chart dated March 3, 2018. The song also charted on Billboard's Adult Top 40 and Mainstream Top 40, peaking at 7 and 9, respectively, and the Canada Hot Adult Contemporary chart, where it peaked at number 36.
