​I guess it's true when they say "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned". I was very, very angry at someone, not because they rejected me, but because they were holding me back from making music, so much so that I was starting to lose myself. As scary as that was, it also made me realise that I need songwriting and recording like I need air to breathe. And in this song, I make sure that I'm back and more determined than ever. It's like a lot of people say: With all the pain and misery they put me through, they only pushed me towards my destiny. I suppose I should thank them for that. So instead of channeling my anger into something destructive, I channeled it into creativity.

I'm On Fire

I feel like I've been drowning
And you were weighing me down
And my heart, it was pounding
As I was sinking to the ground

But there's a flame that's always burning
That no one can put out
So my strength, it was returning
And I pushed away all the doubts

I was walking on a wire
But I tripped
Lost my grip
I nearly died
But I survived

Now I'm on fire
I know I got this
I’m not afraid
I'll find my way

Yeah I'm on fire
No one can stop me
I’m not afraid
I'm on my way

In my heart there is a dragon
Who's always protecting me
The kiss of fire made it happen
Fed the flame inside of me

I was walking on a wire
But I tripped
Lost my grip
I nearly died
But I survived

Now I'm on fire
I know I got this
I’m not afraid
I'll find my way

Yeah I'm on fire
No one can stop me
I’m not afraid
I'm on my way

You won't hold me back
I'm right back on track

And I'm on fire baby, yeah!
It burns brighter
You can't stop me
You can't rob me

Yeah, I'm on fire
It burns brighter
I’m not afraid
I'm on my way

I'm on fire!
