day 6's objective was to write a song that sounds like it is "on fire". so we started off playing the very loose rock part that begins the song (recorded live from the room adjacent to where we were playing, then overlaid with guitar and piano overdubs of what we were all playing). we weren't sure where that song could go, so we started almost inadvertently working on something else with no thought of the objective. we finished that and recorded it and listened to both the parts. we thought they matched and put them together
