Chasing Fire by Lauv Song Info
“Chasing Fire” is a song about a relationship that is clearly over, but the narrator doesn’t want to leave and attempts to find a way to keep it going. Lauv marked the song as one of the most ‘tragic’ songs on his 2018 playlist. In the song, Lauv features some elements from his May 2017 hit song, “I Like Me Better,” like smooth drums and his soft, falsetto voice. "I would say it’s one of the most tragic songs on the playlist. I wrote it about when you get to that stage in a relationship when deep down you know that it’s over and that there’s going to be an expiration date, but you’re trying to pretend that’s not the case. It’s a desperation song; I’m trying to save something that is already over. I originally wrote it two years ago with some friends of mine called Friendship and it was sitting around. It didn’t come together or feel quite right, it wasn’t the right time. I was in the middle of this U.S. and Canada leg of the tour and the production came together super out of nowhere, I cut the vocals in a hotel in Toronto." – Lauv via MTV. On March 28, 2018, one day before the song’s release, Lauv announced the song with a tweet featuring its cover art.
