The new quartet are in the studio with producer Butch Walker (Avril Lavigne, Pink, Bowling For Soup) to record their Epic Records debut. The album is scheduled for a November 21st release.
Rossi joins the group after their exhaustive lead singer search, a quest that spanned 25,000 entrants, 22 cities and 6 continents. The band spent the Summer assessing 15 finalists on everything from songwriting skills to live performance.
In January 2007, Rock Star Supernova will hit the road for their first worldwide tour. Supporting will be The Panic Channel, which features three former members of Jane's Addiction and "Rock Star: Supernova" co-host Dave Navarro. Also on the bill will be fan favorites from the show, backed by the House Band. The tour kicks off with two inaugural shows in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, then moves on to the Hard Rock in Miami, Florida on January 16th for a 27-city trek, culminating at the Long Beach Arena in Southern California on February 27th.

Leave the Lights On
Rock Star Supernova Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I'd like to say for the record that I like how you walk
And how the other girls all shut their mouths and when you talk
And your body's so black and your mind is too
I wanna make a good connection when I plug into you
It's better for the cameras if you know what I mean
So come on and leave the lights on if it's all that you see
Cause everything else in the room is gonna be off
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I wanna feel like the kingdom when I come into you
I wanna kneel at the altar your body dances to
I wanna speak three languages' tell us how I feel
That I am unbelievable' I love the way that you move
So come on and leave the lights on that's your thing
It's better in the cameras if you know what I mean
So come on and leave the lights on it's all that you see
Cause everything else in the room is gonna be off
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
(Oh yeah! C'mon!)
(Oh I feel oh)
[Repeat: x2]
So come on and leave the lights on that's your thing
It's better for the cameras if you know what I mean
So come on and leave the lights if you wanna see all
Cause everything else in the room is gonna be off
The lyrics of Rock Star Supernova's "Leave the Lights On" are quite clearly about sexual desire and longing. The singer expresses admiration for his love interest's physical beauty and charisma, and describes his desire to "plug into" her and "kneel at the altar" of her body. The repeated refrain of "leave the lights on" is a request for his partner to keep the lights on during sex, presumably because he wants to see her clearly and perhaps because he enjoys the exhibitionist aspect of being watched.
Beyond the sexual themes of the song, there's also a sense of urgency and desperation in the lyrics. The repetition of "yeah yeah yeah yeah" and the energetic guitar riffs create a sense of frenzied passion, and the singer's desire to make a "good connection" with his partner feels almost like a plea for validation. The repeated melody of the chorus, with its descending notes, adds a touch of melancholy to the song, as if the singer knows that his desire is almost impossible to satiate.
Overall, "Leave the Lights On" is a catchy, lively song with a strong sexual charge. It's not particularly subtle or profound in its lyrical themes, but it captures a certain kind of reckless, animal passion that is sure to resonate with some listeners.
