She performed a set on 25 June at the Glastonbury Festival 2010 on the John Peel Stage. On 29 May she performed at the Dot to Dot Festival in Bristol. During the summer she performed at a number of festivals. Goulding toured in support of Lights and supported Passion Pit in March 2010 and John Mayer during his British tour in May 2010. "Lights" reached No. 49 on the UK Singles Chart, while becoming Goulding's first song to chart in the United States, as well as her highest-charting song to date, peaking at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 2012. In January 2011, it was announced that the title track from Lights would serve as the second single from Bright Lights. It also charted in some European countries. The single became her second highest-charting single to date, reaching No. 2 on the UK Singles Chart.

This plan was ultimately scrapped to allow her cover of Elton John's "Your Song" to be released in conjunction with the John Lewis Christmas advert in the UK in 2010. It was originally announced that the lead single from Bright Lights would be the new edit of the title track with a release scheduled for 1 November 2010. In November 2010, Lights was re-released as Bright Lights, with six new tracks added. The album was supported by Nike and was released through Polydor as a running soundtrack in an effort to get her music taken up by the running subculture. In August 2010, she released a second EP, Run into the Light, containing remixes of songs from Lights.
