About This Track

Released in March 2018 as the third single from David Guetta's seventh studio album '7', 'Flames' reunites the French producer with Sia for their seventh collaboration. The Australian singer-songwriter co-wrote the track, which reached number nine on the UK chart. Built around a motivational lyric framework, the song addresses perseverance through difficulty. Sia sings encouragement to keep moving forward through hardship, the chorus urging its subject to run through the day and send troubles up in flames. The production pairs Guetta's clean electronic framework with Sia's distinctive vocal presence, the arrangement designed to lift the inspirational message. The pairing had already delivered commercial results together before 'Flames', and Guetta noted his continued enthusiasm for working with Sia as both songwriter and vocalist. The track follows their established template: accessible pop structure, uplifting thematic content, Sia's voice carrying the emotional weight over Guetta's polished electronic foundation.

"Flames" is a single by David Guetta, released 22nd March 2018. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Flames

Ohh oh, ohh oh
One foot in front of the other, babe
One breath leads to another, yeah
Just keep moving, oh
Look within for the strength today
Listen out for the voice to say
Just keep moving, oh

Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out but don't stop moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running
You gotta get through today, yeah
There my love, keep on running
Gotta keep those tears at bay, oh
Oh, my love, don't stop burning
Gonna send them up in flames
In flames

Don't stop, tomorrow's another day
Don't stop, tomorrow you'll feel no pain
Just keep moving, oh
Don't stop the past'll trip you up
You know, right now's gotta be enough
Just keep moving

Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, but don't stop moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running
You gotta get through today, yeah
There my love, keep on running
Gotta keep those tears at bay, oh
Oh, my love, don't stop burning
Gonna send them up in flames
In flames

In flames
In flames
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, but don't stop moving
Go, go, go
Figure it out, figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running
You gotta get through today, yeah
Then my love, keep on running
Gotta keep those tears at bay, oh
Oh, my love, don't stop burning
Gonna send them up in flames
In flames
