Background

In an interview with the Official Charts Company, Steve Garrigan said, "I'm very excited! We worked with Steve Mac and Johnny McDaid on this one. It’s kind of a new sound for us. My comfort zone is in slow ballads – this is not a slow ballad in any sense. Steve Mac was amazing… to share a room with him was an honour really. I think it’s pretty commercial, the single. Every song we’ve done is different, but this is probably the most mainstream."{{cite web|url=https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/kodaline-talk-new-single-follow-your-fire-you-could-say-go-big-or-go-home__22374/|title=Kodaline talk new single Follow Your Fire: "You could say go big or go home"|publisher=Official Charts Company|date=23 March 2018|accessdate=26 March 2020}}
