"Lighthouse" is a single by English musician Lucy Spraggan. The song was released in the United Kingdom as a digital download on 28 June 2013 as the lead single from her debut studio album. The song was written by Lucy Spraggan, James Flannigan and the Ordinary Boys frontman Preston. The song has peaked to number 26 on the UK Singles Chart.

Background

The song was inspired by a journey Spraggan made across America at the age of 18 with just her guitar and a three-month Visa, Spraggan said, "Lighthouses are my good omen. When I was in the US and stuff went wrong, when I'd miss the last bus or I'd run out of money, I'd always see a lighthouse on a piece of paper, beer bottle or in real life then things would start getting better."

Live performances

On 15 July 2013, Spraggan performed the song live on BBC Breakfast.
