Lights Out is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Ingrid Michaelson. It was released on April 15, 2014 through Cabin 24 Records under exclusive license to Mom + Pop Music. Her first studio album in four years, Lights Out marked a breakaway from previous releases on which Michaelson had been credited as the sole writer. A more collaborative effort, she worked with a variety of songwriters and producers on the album, including Cason Cooley, Katie Herzig, Jacquire King, and Dan Romer.

The album earned generally positive reviews from music critics, some of who declared it her best album yet, though others felt it had too many ballads. Lights Out debuted at number 5 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 37,000 copies in its first week.[1] The lead single from the album, "Girls Chase Boys", was released on February 4, 2014.[2] The second single from the album, "Afterlife", was released on October 2, 2014.[3] The third single, "Time Machine", was released on February 19, 2015.[4] A deluxe edition of Lights Out was released on November 11, 2014.[5]
