"Saving Light" is a song by English trance producers Gareth Emery and Standerwick, featuring American electropop singer-songwriter Haliene. It was written by Roxanne Emery, Haliene, Matthew Steeper, and Karra. The song premiered in June 2016, during the Electric Daisy Carnival music festival and was digitally released on 30 January 2017. "Saving Light" is an uplifting trance song with lyrics about standing up to bullying and supporting victims by being their "saving light". Canadian record label Monstercat released the song as part of an initiative called "Make Trance No. 1 Again". Their goal was to encourage fans to purchase "Saving Light" on Beatport, an online music store, to support the anti-bullying charity Ditch the Label and get it to the top of the Beatport charts. The song achieved this on 16 February 2017. Critical response to "Saving Light" was positive: critics praised Haliene's vocal performance and its sound and composition. The song was voted the 2017 Tune of the Year on Armin van Buuren's radio show A State of Trance and the Best Original Trance track of 2017 by the r/EDM subreddit. "Saving Light" was featured on the compilation album Monstercat 030 – Finale, released on 22 February 2017. It was later re-released by Armada Music on van Buuren's 2017 trance mix album, A State of Trance 2017.

I'm here
Where endless meets the end
Do you see me?
I'm hidden here again
Your whisper found its way
Calling me to stay

I'm standing at the edge
But something always brings me back
All the voices in my head
Reminding me of what I have

If I fall tonight
You can bring me back to life
If I fall tonight
You can be my saving light

You can be my saving light
You can be my saving light

You can be my saving light

You're here
Like lightning in my veins
Now they see me
And they'll never be insane
Your whispers found its way
Calling me to stay

You can be my saving light

I'm standing at the edge
But something always brings me back
All the voices in my head
Reminding of what I have

If I fall tonight
You can bring me back to life
If I fall tonight
You can be my saving light

You can be my saving light
You can be my saving light

You can be my saving light
You can be my saving light
