Released in 2007 as fourth single from his third album Graduation
This was my instant favourite from the beginning and I stil adore it. I like the sad, kinda nostalgic vibe of this song and production is ace IMO

"Flashing Lights" was such a big deal to me back then. The moment I heard it on the radio as an album cut I knew it was single material. I loved everything about it, the fusion of strings and synths, the hooks, and Kanye's narrative of infidelity. I recall the R. Kelly remix getting a lot of airplay in 2008. I was a little disappointed with the song's chart performance on both R&B/HH and the Hot 100. It's still one of his best songs.
Oh, the second video is my favorite.

In my Kanye top 5 in terms of singles. Everything about this song works, love the instrumental especially.
And I thought the video was genius. Kill that bastard in the trunk!

I don't get all the hype behind it but it's pretty good.

Yeah, this song. It used to fill the dance floor, even years later. It's got that universal thang. Makes you feel like you're the flyest ever to have lived.

This may very well be my favorite song from him. The production does elevate the song.

I remember this one. This is definitely one of his best songs ever! The production is definitely the highlight!
They recently played this in some commercial. I think it was for a fragrance ad, if I'm not mistaken. |

This is a top three Kanye song, which is really saying something considering his catalogue.
The BBNG cover is out of this world, as well.

This song is fantastic. It's probably my favorite Kanye song too.
I'm not surprised they have used it for a TV commercial. That beat is epic.
