"Fire" belongs to Saint Cloud, the fifth Waxahatchee album, which Merge put out in March 2020 just as the pandemic was shutting everything down. Katie Crutchfield wrote it alone, and it comes from the record she made after getting sober: a low point at Primavera Sound in Barcelona pushed her to quit drinking, and the Great Thunder EP in between had already hinted at a turn toward folk.
Brad Cook produced the album over the summer of 2019 at Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas and Long Pond in Stuyvesant, New York, with the Michigan band Bonny Doon backing her, and Jonathan Low mixed the track.
