After years of friendship and mutual support, Steve Aoki and Paris Hilton unveiled "Lighter," earlier this summer at the Tomorrowland festival in Belgium, where Paris performed the song's lyrics live to a massive crowd. 

Aoki on his collaboration with Hilton: “Collaborating with Paris Hilton on 'Lighter' is a momentous occasion for both of us. Our friendship spans over two decades, and this song is a culmination of our shared experiences and creative energies. It's been a long time coming, and I couldn't be more thrilled to finally bring our musical visions together. 'Lighter' is not just a song, it's a testament to the power of relationships and growth.” 

Hilton continues: “My debut collaboration with friend and legendary DJ, Steve Aoki, reflects years of supporting one another, and this song is the perfect representation of all the epic times we’ve had. Whether it’s performing in front of thousands of fans at Tomorrowland or bringing the party to the studio, it’s always a celebration. I can’t wait for fans to turn up the volume and feel ‘Lighter’ on the dance floor.”
