"Low Lights" (also stylized as "Lowlights") is a song by American recording artist Kanye West from his seventh studio album, The Life of Pablo (2016). It was produced by West, DJDS and Mike Dean, while the lyrics were written by West, Dean, Jerome Potter, Samuel Griesemer and Sandy Rivera. DJDS worked on the album for three consecutive weeks after meeting West, with the latter sharing a snippet of the song on Saturday Night Live the day before release in February 2016.

The vocals used in "Low Lights" are sampled from the a cappella version of "So Alive" by Kings of Tomorrow, with the sample being performed by Kelly Price[citation needed]; they run over piano chords and bass production. A gospel track that looks at spirituality and references God throughout, it is the sixth track on The Life of Pablo and leads into "Highlights". The song received positive reviews from music critics, with them mostly commending its religious nature, though some critics commented on the song's position on the album. Alicia Keys sampled the song in her 2017 track "That's What's Up". "Low Lights" charted at number 22 on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 in 2016.
