A Million Lights er det tredje studioalbumrt av den britiske plateartist Cheryl Cole , utgitt den 15. juni 2012 gjennom Fascination Records. Albumet ble spilt inn i 2011 og 2012 . Som utøvende produsent av albumet , vervet Cole en rekke produsenter som Alex da Kid , Calvin Harris , will.i.am , Pantha , Agent X , HyGrade , Dada Life, Jim Beanz , Taio Cruz , Mathias Wollo , The Beamer boyz , Billy Wes , Electric, Bibi Jones og Dave Munday . Lydmessig er albumet forankret i pop, dance-pop og R & B , men også inneholder en rekke andre sjangre som dubstep .

Ved utgivelsen , fikk A Million Lights hovedsakelig blandet men positive vurderinger fra musikk- kritikere, som roste sin progresjon fra Coles tidligere album , men var ambivalent mot blanding av sjangere . Albumet debuterte på den britiske albumlista som nummer 2. Den solgte 34 934 eksemplarer i sin første uke . A Million Lights ble også nummer 2 to på den Irske albumlista og nr 1 på de skotske listene. " A Million Lights " ble solgte til gull i Storbritannia med over 100.000 solgte eksemplarer.

To singler er blitt sluppet så langt fra albumet . Den første singelen , " Call My Name" , ble utgitt 8. juni 2012. Men etter bare tre dager etter utgivelsen solgte den over 97 000 eksemplarer i Storbritannia alene , den debuterte som nummer én og etter den første uken var den solgt i over 152 000 eksemplarer , og ble den nest raskest selgende singelen i 2012 . "Under The Sun" ble utgitt 2. september 2012 som den andre singelen fra albumet. Sangen nådde nummer 13, og blir dermed hennes sjette solo topp-tjue singel. "Screw You" var planlagt å være albumets tredje singel , men utgivelsen ble satt på vent på ubestemt tid på grunn av gjenforening av Girls Aloud i november 2012 .

User Album Review
As she releases her third solo album, it’s worth remembering that Cheryl (sans the Cole part, as her profile now declares a mundanity such as a surname redundant) came to the fore as a pop star. Amidst the personal dramas and the gossip fodder and the being chewed up by the X Factor machine, A Million Lights would do well to serve as a reminder of the singer at the heart of the ceaseless interest.
In practice, it gets halfway there. Lead single Call My Name is Calvin Harris by numbers, every beat foreseeable a mile off. And a handful of other songs subscribe to the safety of all-consuming radio-house, songs which could be attributed to anyone. It’s an exercise which doesn’t do her justice ”“ for instance, the middle-eight of Sexy Den a Mutha, the only part where she sounds discernibly like herself, is the track’s high point.
For a woman whose every move is scrutinised by the murkier corners of the press, it’s understandable that she doesn’t want to lay herself entirely bare. But the infrequent flurries of sincerity provide the standout moments of the album.
The title track, an epic trance ballad which displays a genuine sensitivity, goes some way to depicting unfeigned individuality, something replicated on the stripped-down All Is Fair. And even the hip hop truisms that fill Ghetto Baby only heighten its lingering, brassy character.
It’s certainly not a ballad/up-tempo divide, though. The bleating synths and gritty squelch of Love Killer are commanding when twinned with a frank vocal, while the casual, high-spirited Under the Sun boasts a playful, summery, arguably alternative trait.
A Million Lights works well, and it works now ”“ largely, it’s a scrapbook of 2012 trends. And while it’s not quite the same dead-eyed detachment you’d get from, say, Rihanna, it treads a fine line between noticeable passion and pop for pop’s sake. There’s far more going in the favour of Cheryl The Human than of Cherylcorp Ltd ”“ those vast, busy pop explosions serve a purpose nicely, but the indications of artistry are significantly more appealing.
