On May 23, Mayer shared the trailer for the song's music video.[9] The video directed by Fatal Farm premiered on May 24 and Mayer joked about it on Instagram, saying, 'I needed to make a video for 'New Light' but nobody could agree on a budget, so I went to a place downtown and made this with a company that usually does birthday and Bar Mitzvah videos.'[10][11]

The video opens with Mayer saying in front of the green screen, 'I'm John Mayer and I'm ready to be a star.' It then features Mayer dancing, playing the guitar and waving to fake zebras at various green screen locations, from the cheap apartment kitchen to the Egyptian pyramids. It ends with Mayer blowing a kiss to the audience.[10][12][13]

Critical reception[edit]

The song received generally positive reviews from music critics. Jon Blisten from Rolling Stone said the song crafted 'a steady groove reminiscent of Eighties blue-eyed soul and tinged with disco guitars' and praised Mayer's 'cheeky and earnest' lyrics.[2]Billboard ranked 'New Light' 27th in their list 'The 50 Best Songs of 2018 (So Far)' published in June, calling the song 'a sublimely silky pastel palette of keyboard twinkles and polished guitar licks that sounds like it was recorded in the clouds of John’s Paradise Valley LP cover.'[14]Complex ranked the song 31st in their 'The Best Songs of 2018' mid-year list. Their review by Matt Welty said 'Mayer put out a legitimate banger in 'New Light,' an '80s-inspired track that still has the introspective side we've come to know and love from the singer/songwriter,' stating they see the song 'cross over beyond his traditional fan base.' [15]
