Background[]
Brody wrote "Lightning Bug" by himself, and it was inspired by one of his first songwriting trips to Nashville, Tennessee. He remarked that he wanted to write a song "that captured the magic of being caught up in a warm summer night. It’s meant to tell the story of being in love with that special someone, with an almost dreamlike soundscape".[4]
Critical reception[]
Nanci Dagg of Canadian Beats Media referred to the track as a "heartfelt love song", adding that it "takes listeners to that place where those magical memories of falling in love happen while providing everyone that listens to it a bright spot in what has been a challenging year for us all".[4] Courtney Fielder of Country100.7 called the song a "hit", saying it was released "just in time for summer".[5]
