Background and release

Tiësto declared about the song : "'Light Years Away' is a very beautiful song. It's very pretty. It reminds me a little bit of an old Massive Attack track. It sounds really big and euphoric. I think the vocals are great and also it's very haunty." Pete Kirtley from Dbx affirmed in an interview that the song is about "not giving up, even though the path ahead sometimes seems impossible and unreachable".

Music video

The music video shows the expedition of a scientist and her white robot on a planet to analyse its composition.
