Background
"Fire" features as the fifth single from Out of Ashes, and serves as the first track of the album. The music video of the song was a promo video over a live version of the song that was performed by the band.
In a recent article from Ultimate Guitar Archive, the single was described as "probably one of the best songs on the album as far as the sound in concern with a steady progressive intro that leads into an all-round song that is excellent, with the chorus probably being the best part of the song; with heavy guitars mixed with Bennington's reverbed vocals that is brilliant for the song, and that it would probably do well with the charts as well, as it isn't too heavy."
In another article from Sputnik Music, the song was also described as "an opener with an irresistibly and catchy, yet almost anthemic vibe to the verses where Bennington croons along by memory to the simplicity of a repeated guitar chord strumming from an electric guitar before launching itself into an action-packed chorus."
Music video
Two music videos of the song were released, including a promo video, and a live version of the song performed by the band before Elias Andra's departure in December 2011 and Frank Zummo of the Street Drum Corps as the band's new drummer.
