Super Furry Animals' tenth single, "Fire in My Heart", was the second pulled from Guerrilla, their 1999 album, and it started life under the far less romantic title "Heartburn". Singer Gruff Rhys has called it a country and western song, its words offering what he called "soul advice". Huw Bunford, Cian Ciaran, Dafydd Ieuan, Guto Pryce and Rhys share the writing credit, and the Welsh band produced it themselves, mixing it with Chris Shaw.
Released on 9 August 1999, it got to 25 on the UK Singles Chart. The NME took it as proof that no British band had been this good at singles in ages and ranked it 25th among its singles of 1999. Jake & Jim directed the video, which strands the band on Mars after a gig there, waiting to leave.
