LIGHTSUM – Light a Wish (2nd Single Album)
“The wish you longed for, we will make it come true ourselves.”
The moment the genie within awakens, a mesmerizing story unfolds.
LIGHTSUM returns with their second single album, Light a Wish, just four months after their thrilling debut. As you follow the radiant glow led by LIGHTSUM, a magical, fairy tale-like world comes to life—an enchanting place where every dream turns into reality.
A Journey from Dreams to Reality
Debuting in June with their first single Vanilla, LIGHTSUM captured the sweetness of falling in love with a refreshing and unique charm that embodies Generation Z. Their debut was a resounding success, achieving the highest first-week sales among rookie girl groups in 2021 with 19,000 copies sold. Additionally, their music video for Vanilla hit 10 million views within a week, and they secured 8th place on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, solidifying their status as the “2021 Girl Group Hot Rookie.”
With Light a Wish, LIGHTSUM elevates their signature energy with enhanced COOL and SHINE elements, delivering even more powerful performances and refined vocal prowess.
Concept & Storytelling
The album title Light a Wish signifies “illuminating a wish”—not just individual desires, but collective aspirations. The album follows a narrative where the members, guided by a mystical light, embark on a journey to find “Something”—a hidden force that brings them together.
The album is available in two distinct concept versions:
-
Light Ver.: A modern reimagining of the “21st Century Genie,” breaking away from the traditional Aladdin-inspired imagery.
-
Wish Ver.: A natural, vintage-toned portrayal of the genie before its awakening, radiating a dreamy and sentimental charm.
The combination of synchronized choreography, sophisticated visuals, and a cinematic music video enhances the album’s mesmerizing theme.

Lightsum’s ‘Light a Wish’ surprised me! While I wasn’t initially impressed with their debut, ‘VIVACE’ is a catchy, upbeat song that puts me in a good mood. It’s a nice, melodic track that I’ll definitely listen to again.
