"I Am the Fire" comes from Into the Wild Life, Halestorm's third album, which Atlantic had lined up for early April 2015 before it slipped back a week. Lzzy Hale wrote it with Joe Hottinger and Scott Stevens and sings lead, playing electric guitar beside Hottinger and piano alongside Josh Smith, who also holds down the bass, while Arejay Hale plays drums. Arejay, Hottinger and Smith pile on the backing vocals.
Jay Joyce produced it, and he recorded and mixed it with Jason Hall, with Dylan Lancaster and Caleb VanBuskirk assisting. When AllMusic's James Christopher Monger reviewed the album, he counted this one, with "Gonna Get Mine", "Dear Daughter" and "Mayhem", among the finest things Halestorm had put to tape.
