About


The "Light Up Detroit" theme song was written as an inspirational anthem for the people of Detroit. It has been performed by some of Detroit's finest singers, musicians, dancers, and synchronized figure skaters at Detroit's most prestigious venues and events. It has brought people together in a common effort to help make Detroit shine once again.

Many things define cities and their people - industries, architecture, sports, cuisine, music. But in Detroit, it has always been MUSIC. Cars may have built this town but Music gives it its Energy, its Heartbeat, its Soul. 

From Motown to Jazz, from Gospel to Rock, from Hip-Hop to Techno, Detroit has always been known for its rich palette of music. And now, by embracing the lyrics and melody of this song, Detroiters can collectively celebrate the enduring spirit that energizes the city they love.

We all "Light Up Detroit" in different ways - work, volunteerism, philanthropy, acts of kindness. Now we can sing about it together.

Enjoy the song...
