ABOUT THE SINGLE
Danny wrote Bring the Fire during a time when his emotions were running during a stage when he wasn’t being his true self to please certain people close to him.
He’d spent a while thinking that he didn’t amount to what everyone expected of him before realising that he wasn’t the problem.
The song is about being angry for letting someone else’s problems make you feel worthless and feeling like you have to change yourself into a different character to feel wanted and then getting back at them out of nothing but spite.
The chorus lyric ‘Bring the Fire’ is a metaphor for channeling the anger he felt into revenge but without showing any other emotion than anger as to give the impression that that’s all he felt and nothing else!
