Billy Joel is back with his first new song in 17 years, aptly titled 'Turn the Lights Back On'. Joel will perform at the Grammys this Sunday. Listen to the song below.

“Turn the Lights Back On” is his first new song since his songs “All My Life” and “Christmas in Fallujah” in 2007. His last album was in 2001 Fantasies & Hallucinations, but it was a collection of classical compositions. His last regular singer/songwriter album was released in 1993. River of dreams.

Joel wrote “Turn the Lights Back On” with Freddie Wexler, Arthur Bacon and Wayne Hector. The song was produced by Wexler. With lyrics like “I've been waiting too long,” the song certainly addresses the wide gap between Joel's new music.

Freddy Wexler and written by Wexler, Arthur Bacon, Wayne Hector and Joel.
