Song history

"This Fire" was featured on the soundtrack for the 2004 racing game Burnout 3: Takedown.[1] The song was later sampled for "Burn This City" by Lil Wayne and Twista.[2] In 2022, the Rich Costey version of the song was selected as the intro song to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the Cyberpunk 2077 tie-in anime from Studio Trigger.[3]

Release and reception

In the United States and the United Kingdom, the song was released as a radio and download single, respectively, reaching number 17 on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and number eight on the UK Download Chart.[4][5] In Australia, the song was released as a CD single and reached number 62 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[6] In the same country, it was ranked number 29 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2004.[7]

Music video

The music video, directed by Stylewar,[8] echoes the style of 1920s-era Soviet art and propaganda (Constructivism etc.), including Cyrillic lettering, and shows the members of the band spreading a world-wide "hypnosis epidemic".
