It’s been a year since we heard new music from Belgian singer Loic Nottet and frankly, we’ve missed him. Nottet began hinting at his return earlier this year in June by posting recording studio pics and on finally confirmed his return.
As promised, the Eurovision star dropped his comeback single “On fire” this week and it does not disappoint!
The new song marks Loic’s first since 2017 Christmas-themed “Go to sleep“.
Co-written by Loïc and British songwriter, producer, filmmaker and multi-instrumentalist Sacha Skarbek (James Blunt, Miley Cyrus, Adele), the pop-urban track is the first taste taken from the 22-year old artist’s second album, which is expected sometime in 2019.
For his comeback, Nottet dyed his hair blonde, a new look much appreciated by his fans. “I just wanted to change, I had a little madness. I wanted a new look for a new project in my personal career”, he confessed in an interview.
Lyrics:
There was a little boy
Too different to belong
Too lonely to be strong (on fire, on fire, oh)
Laying on the ground
He said that fallin’ down
It wouldn’t make a sound (on fire, on fire, oh)
So now I’m gonna show ya
‘Til the end of time, ’till the end of time (on fire, on fire)
So now you’re gonna know, yeah
Why I’m gonna shine, why I’m gonna shine
I’m burnin’ I’m on fire
Here I am, inside the flames
I don’t care anymore, don’t need your oxygen
I’m burning in a new way
Here I am taming the flames
Not afraid anymore, strong like a warrior
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’ -in’
There was a little girl
From a broken family
With a silent fantasy (on fire, on fire, oh)
Her head was in the sky
Her heart was made of stars
Her skin was made of scars (on fire, on fire, oh)
So now I’m gonna show ya
‘Till the end of time, ’till the end of time (on fire, on fire)
So now you’re gonna know, yeah
Why I’m gonna shine, why I’m gonna shine
I’m burnin’ I’m on fire
Here I am, inside the flames
I don’t care anymore, don’t need your oxygen
I’m burning in a new way
Here I am taming the flames
Not afraid anymore, strong like a warrior
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’ -in’
Oh, I’m burnin’, I’m on fire
Oh, I’m burnin’
I’m burnin’ I’m on fire
Here I am, inside the flames
I don’t care anymore, don’t need your oxygen
I’m burning in a new way
Here I am taming the flames
Not afraid anymore, strong like a warrior
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’ -in’
I’m burnin’ I’m on fire
Here I am, inside the flames
I don’t care anymore, don’t need your oxygen
I’m burning in a new way
Here I am taming the flames
Not afraid anymore, strong like a warrior
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’
And when I hit the dust
I’m gonna get up
And light up like a flare
I’ll be burnin’, -in’ -in’ -in’ -in’
