Critical Reception[]

ANDPOP writer Rebecca Mattina stated: "Channeling the sultry stylings of their song “DNA” from their debut album, “Lightning” is a sexy slow-down number with an unexpected hit of EDM mixed in the chorus."[1]

Lyrics[]

Jesy:
I crossed a desert and an ocean
To get away from the pain of your storm
I chase the sunlight
Been running from your shadow
So that I could heal
And I didn’t feel

Leigh-Anne:
That zig-zag shooting through my heart
That zig-zag hit me like a dart
Electricity, electricity
Oh, this love’s tearing me apart
I've been running like the light from the dark
Electricity, keeps on hitting me

Oh, lightning strikes twice and it burns like ice
I wish I didn’t love you again
Lightning strikes twice and it burns so nice
I wish I didn't love you

(But I do)
(But I do)

Jade:
Those eyes, one looking and I’m enchanted
Your voice a serenade and it sings to my heart
One kiss turned the skies to grey
I’ll never get away, no shelter from the rain, oh!

Perrie:
That zig-zag shooting through my heart
That zig-zag hit me like a dart
Electricity, electricity
Oh, this love’s tearing me apart
I’ve been running like the light from the dark
Electricity, keeps on hitting me, oh-oh!

Jade (with Little Mix):
Oh, lightning strikes twice and it burns like ice
I wish I didn’t love you again
(Lightning) strikes twice and it burns so nice
I wish I didn’t (love you)

(But I do)
(But I do)

Little Mix:
Oh

O Fortuna
Velut luna
Statu variabilis
Semper crescis
Aut decrescis;
Vita detestabilis

Jesy with Jade:
Everytime that I hear your name, oh
Baby you’re the pleasure the pain,oh!

Perrie with Little Mix:
Lightning strikes twice and it burns like ice
I wish I didn’t love you again

(But I do)
(But I do)

Little Mix:
O Fortuna
Velut luna
Statu variabilis
Semper crescis
Aut decrescis;
Vita detestabilis

(But I do)
