"When the Lights Go Down" is a song written by Craig Wiseman, Jeffrey Steele, and Rivers Rutherford, recorded by American country pop singer Faith Hill. It was released to country radio November 19, 2002, as the second single from her fifth studio album, Cry (2002). The second of three songs from the album promoted to country radio, "When the Lights Go Down" peaked at number 26 on the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in 2003. At the time, this was Hill's lowest position on the chart since "But I Will" peaked at number 35 in 1994.

The song inspired the name of Hill's NBC concert special (taped in September 2002 and aired in November of that year), as well as her live DVD featuring performances from the same, released May 6, 2003.[1][2] A Europe-exclusive CD single, released in February 2003, also contains a live version of "Stronger" taken from this concert.[3]
