"Fire Escape" was the first taste of Zombies on Broadway, the second album Andrew McMahon made under the Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness name. It arrived in September 2016, the opening shot in a run of five singles before Vanguard Records put the album out on February 10, 2017. The American rock pianist wrote it with Gregg Wattenberg, Derek Fuhrmann and Robopop, and those three produced it; he had started writing with Wattenberg and Fuhrmann during a break from touring his self-titled debut.
It fits the album's pop rock mold, which reminded several reviewers of the band Fun, and it made its way onto several Billboard charts.
