"Like Lightning" is a song by British indie rock band Foals, released on 22 November 2019 as the fourth single from their sixth studio album, Everything Not Saved Will Be Lost – Part 2 (2019).
The music video for "Like Lightning" came out on 22 November 2019.[1] The storyline was written by Virginie Kypriotis and produced by Rebecca Rice.[2] Un Oeil Sur Tout animated the video. The video features an animate Sasquatch figure leading a worldwide charge to curbe climate change through green initiatives and eco-socialism. The music video premiered on the Music Declares Emergency website to raise awareness about climate change.[3]
Critical reception to the song was mixed. Hannah Jocelyn, writing for Pitchfork said "“Like Lightning” plays like the kind of utilitarian blues-rock that music directors reach for when The Black Keys aren’t in the licensing budget."[4]
