Dan Smith wrote "Things We Lost in the Fire" on his own, and Bastille first slipped it onto the Laura Palmer EP in 2011 before it reappeared on their debut album, Bad Blood. In August 2013 it went out as the sixth single from that record, a slab of big-hearted indie pop that picked up airplay on both BBC Radio 1 and Radio 2 and climbed to number 28 on the UK Singles Chart.
Smith sings, plays keyboards, piano and percussion, and co-produced it with Mark Crew, also on keyboards. William Farquarson plays bass, Chris "Woody" Wood drums, and a small string section of violins, viola and cellos fills out the credits. Mark "Spike" Stent mixed. Naor Aloni shot the video in Kėdainiai, Lithuania, and TV kept borrowing the song: The Vampire Diaries, an EastEnders trailer, and a Grey's Anatomy episode that took its title.
