"Hearts on Fire" was the lead single for In Ghost Colours, the second album by the Australian electronic band Cut Copy, and it came out on Modular in 2007, well ahead of the record. The version on the album is a re-edit produced by Tim Goldsworthy and released in July 2008, and the chorus slips in a tiny vocal sample from Jennifer Lopez's "Waiting for Tonight". Pitchfork named it the seventh-best track of 2008.
The video, directed by Nagi Noda and shot in Japan, follows frontman Dan Whitford through a breakup with a rain cloud parked over his head. Time passes, his dog grows up, the sky finally clears, and then he runs into his ex and the rain starts all over again.
