"Light Up the Sky" was the one and only single Yellowcard took from Paper Walls, their sixth studio album, and they broke it in on stage before anybody could buy it: an acoustic version debuted at the Troubadour in West Hollywood on March 30, 2007, and it went electric at later shows. The finished mix turned up on the band's Myspace page in mid-May, and on June 5, 2007 it hit radio and iTunes on the same day.
Neal Avron produced and recorded it, Tom Lord-Alge mixed it, and the band wrote it together, with William Ryan Key handling the lyrics. Alternative programmers bit hard: it was the most added single at US modern rock radio for the week ending June 8, and it went on to No. 41 on Billboard's Modern Rock Tracks and No. 32 on the Adult Top 40.
