The story behind the song

"I'm on Fire" is a moody song built around a sense of pent-up desire and sexual tension. It merges a soft rockabilly beat with synthesizers, which was one of the first times this instrument was used in Springsteen's music. The song was created in an impromptu fashion when Bruce Springsteen developed a slow guitar tune to accompany some lyrics, with the band creating an accompaniment on the spot. It's a quiet yet tense tune that captures a powerful, simmering emotion.
