Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire Lyrics

Alicia Keys Lyrics

"Girl On Fire"

She's just a girl and she's on fire
Hotter than a fantasy
Lonely like a highway
She's livin' in a world and it's on fire
Filled with catastrophe
But she knows she can fly away

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
She got both feet on the ground
And she's burnin' it down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
She got her head in the clouds
And she's not backin' down

This girl is on fire
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire
This girl is on fire

Looks like a girl, but she's a flame
So bright, she can burn your eyes
Better look the other way
You can try, but you'll never forget her name
She's on top of the world
Hottest of the hottest girls, say

Oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
We got our feet on the ground
And we're burnin' it down
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Got our head in the clouds
And we're not comin' down

This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

(Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Everybody stares as she goes by
'Cause they can see the flame that's in her eyes
Watch her when she's lightin' up the night
Nobody knows that she's a lonely girl
And it's a lonely world
But she gon' let it burn, baby, burn, baby

This girl is on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire
She's walkin' on fire (Fire, fire)
This girl is on fire

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh

She's just a girl, but she's on fire

"Girl On Fire" is the title track and the lead single from her eponymous album. The song was released on the 4th of September 2012.

Alicia Keys premiered the song at the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards. She said before her performance, "Debuting a new song at the VMAs is definitely special. I debuted 'No One' at the VMAs. It was the first time anyone in the world heard 'No One'. It's the perfect setting. It's the right energy. It's the right vibe. People are so excited about the night of music and hearing different styles that it just goes over really well. I can't wait!"

The singer told about this song and the album as a whole on her website prior to the ablum's release, "...in some ways I felt like a lion locked in a cage… I felt like a girl misunderstood that no one really knew, I felt like it was time to stop making excuses for any part of my life that I wanted to change. Once I made that choice I became a Girl on Fire, the lion broke free!"

This single reached number 11 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart.
