"What Can I Do If the Fire Goes Out?" arrived on 10 February 2017, months ahead of the album it led off: Go Farther in Lightness, the second studio album from Australian alternative rockers Gang of Youths, which followed in August.
David Le’aupepe wrote every word and note, sings lead and plays guitar and piano, and the band crowd in around him: Jung Kim on guitar and keys, Joji Malani on guitar, Max Dunn on bass and Donnie Borzestowski on drums. Adrian Breakspear engineered and produced it with the band, and Peter Katis mixed. It's big-hearted, all-in rock that swings for the rafters and means every word. It found a real audience at home, going platinum with ARIA, and the video followed on 20 April 2017.
