What is “On Fire” about?
"On Fire" is a weekend-release song about pulling up to the function, leaving every worry at the door and dancing until the sun comes round. Santiago Fuego describes the energy on the floor as nuclear and argues that life is "too short to sit and watch." A brief breakdown turns reflective, suggesting every lesson learned led him to this moment. As the sixth track on Paraíso, it is one of the album's English-language party songs.
On Fire lyrics
Ay, we on fire
Let's go
Pull up to the function, everybody stare
Bass is hitting different, feel it in the air
Lights are flashing crazy, smoke is everywhere
She's across the room and I can feel her there
Energy is nuclear, ready to explode
Every single body on the dancefloor load
DJ spinning records like he's reading minds
Tonight we leave the whole world behind
Turn it up louder, shake the ground
Every heart is beating to this sound
We don't stop till the sun comes round
On fire, burning down
We on fire, on fire
Burning up the night, we're going higher
On fire, on fire
Nothing gonna stop this burning desire
Feel the heat beneath your feet
We on fire, on fire
Sweat is dripping, bodies moving all in sync
Rhythm got us connected, no time to think
Every single worry, leave it at the door
This is what the weekend was invented for
Speakers bumping thunder, vibrating my soul
Losing all control and that's the only goal
Life is way too short to sit and watch the show
Light the match and let the whole thing blow
Turn it up louder, shake the ground
Every heart is beating to this sound
We don't stop till the sun comes round
On fire, burning down
We on fire, on fire
Burning up the night, we're going higher
On fire, on fire
Nothing gonna stop this burning desire
Feel the heat beneath your feet
We on fire, on fire
Burn, baby, burn
Watch the tables turn
Every lesson learned
Led me right to here
We on fire, on fire
Burning up the night, we're going higher
On fire, on fire
Nothing gonna stop this burning desire
Feel the heat beneath your feet
We on fire, on fire
On fire, yeah
We don't stop
On fire
