Eric Church has debuted his self-penned track “Heart On Fire” on Friday (Jan. 29).
Throughout the song, the country superstar drops the names of several classic sons including Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City,” Elvis Presley’s “All Shook Up” and more.
“That look on your face was full of wild desire / Soakin’ my soul in gasoline and settin’ my heart on fire,” Church sings in the chorus.
Church explained, “That is the first song on the first of three new albums that I’ll have comin’ out in April. Album 1 is titled ‘Heart,’ and will be released on April 16th. The album features 9 songs including ‘Stick That In Your Country Song,’ ‘Crazyland,’ and the song you just heard: ‘Heart On Fire.’ The THIRD is called ‘Soul,’ and it’ll be released on April 23rd. We’ll tell you about the second one later. But the ‘Soul’ album is where you’ll find the current single ‘Hell Of a View,’ and it ends with this song, titled ‘Lynyrd Skynyrd Jones.’”
