Fire & Desire

"Fire & Desire" is a song by Canadian rapper Drake, recorded for his fourth studio album Views (2016). The song was certified platinum on June 29, 2018.

Composition and lyrics
“Fire & Desire” is a smooth low-energy R&B song with a length of three minutes and fifty-eight seconds. The song plays with chilly chords and clipped electronic drums. The song samples the 1994 song “I Dedicate (Part II)” by Brandy, used throughout the whole song from the beginning to the end. Drake's ability to dive into personal experiences and emotions is demonstrated in "Fire & Desire”. The song is about recognizing the significance of his lady ("you're a real-ass woman and I like it," he sings). His city of Toronto, also referred to as the "6ix," is mentioned in the phrase "I turned the 6 upside down, it's a 9 now," which represents the changes and advancements he has experienced. In addition.

Reception
Bandwagon 's Angela Buensuceso felt conflicted about "Fire & Desire." "The lyrics get repetitive, with forlorn lamentations on what could've been with a former lover, mentions of money and success, and the importance of having a tight crew mentioned over and over again," she said in reference to the majority of the album's tracks. According to her, the album's lyrics are becoming monotonous; as it continues, "The lack of depth becomes very evident and the lyrics are beginning to sour."
