After a long hiatus, singer Billy Joel is back in the game. The singer is set to return to the limelight with new music. Titled, ‘Turn the Lights Back On’, this song is his first solo single since 2007. This song is also his second since 1993.
Last month, Billy Joel had taken to his TikTok account to tease his fans with ‘Turn the Lights Back On.’ He teased the song in an onstage video. He said, “we got a little something we’re working on you might hear some time.” The promotional material which has been attached to the song reads, “ushering in the next chapter of his story.” Fans believe that the singer might have a line of music ready to be shared with his fans and this statement is a subtle reference to it.
To add to the excitement, Billy Joel took to his X (formerly, Twitter) account to share a small snippet of the song. The tweet has fetched over 4.5K likes and 445K views. The news has left fans excited. Reacting to this announcement, one fan said, “No way!

Can't wait to listen to it!” A third fan mentioned, “Very happy he got passed that writing block. There's no question the gift is still within him. It's probably leaking out of his every pore.”
