  Lyrics
Flashlight
Jessie J

When tomorrow comes

I'll be on my own
Feeling frightened of
The things that I don't know
When tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
Tomorrow comes
And though the road is long
I look up to the sky
And in the dark I found,
I lost hope that I won't fly
And I sing along, I sing along
And I sing along
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
Can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight (flashlight)
You're my flashlight
I see the shadows long beneath the mountain top
I'm not afraid when the rain won't stop
'Cause you light the way
You light the way, you light the way
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
Light light you're my flashlight
Light light light light light, oh
(Light light light you're my flashlight, light, light)
You're my flash, oh
I got all I need when I got you and I
I look around me, and see a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
You're getting me, getting me through the night
Can't stop my heart when you shinin' in my eyes
I can't lie, it's a sweet life
I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight
(You're my flashlight)
You're getting me, getting me through the night
'Cause you're my flashlight
'Cause you're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
You're my flashlight
Light light
You're my flashlight
Light light ye-yeah
You're my flashlight

 The Meaning of the Song Flashlight

I feel as in this song she says this individual she speaks of helps her even
though they may be in the dark they still guide her. This song is saying that
someone special helps her get through the hard times.
  The Background of the song

"Flashlight" is a song recorded by British singer and songwriter Jessie J for the
soundtrack to the film Pitch Perfect 2 (2015). The song was written by Sia Furler,
Christian Guzman, Jason Moore and Sam Smith.[1] The song was originally
obtained when one pre-ordered the Pitch Perfect 2 soundtrack in the United
States, beginning on 23 April 2015; it later became available for download on its
own. "Flashlight" was released in the United Kingdom on 11 May 2015 both on
the soundtrack and as a stand-alone single. "Flashlight" was particularly successful
in Australia, peaking at number two, and number seven in New Zealand.
Hailee Steinfeld performs a version of "Flashlight" titled the "Sweet Life Mix" in
the film Pitch Perfect 2. Her cover of the song is included on the special edition of
the film's soundtrack as well as Japanese version of Steinfeld's
debut EP, Haiz (2015

Critical reception
"Flashlight" received generally mixed reviews. In a less favourable review, Steven
J. Horowitz of Billboard gave the song two stars out of five, saying: "prone to
funny bone shout-singing on her more upbeat singles, Jessie J dials back her vocal
force on the tepid "Flashlight", off the Pitch Perfect 2 soundtrack. The more subtle
delivery would be welcome if the track weren't so paint-by-numbers, it plays like
a pantomime of a Sia ballad, but without the emotive edge."[3]

Music video
The music video (directed by Hannah Lux Davis) was released on 23 April 2015 on
YouTube.[4] In the video, Jessie J heads to Barden University (the campus of UCLA)
where she performs the ballad while watching the students go about their days
while walking around the campus, while scenes from Pitch Perfect 2 are shown.[4]

Use in film
The song is first sung by Barden University freshman Emily (Hailee Steinfeld) for
her audition into the Barden Bellas, who have been suspended from competition.
Emily explains that she writes songs to compensate for her anxieties, in this case,
leaving home. Emily sings the song again later during the "Riff Off" which, due to
it being an original song, causes the Bellas to be disqualified.
Upon learning that Emily writes her own songs, Beca (Anna Kendrick) offers to
work with her on it and record the song in a studio.
At the climax of the film, the Bellas incorporate "Flashlight" into their World
Championships setlist.

Chart performance
The song debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on 28 May 2015, at number
68.[5][6] The song debuted on the UK Singles Chart on 24 May 2015, at number 62,
eventually reaching number 13. The song debuted on the ARIA Charts on 18 May
2015, at number 15 and reached number 2 as of 8 June 2015. It reached number
one in Indonesia.
