It picks up the previous song's story

According to the notes, 'Like Fire' is a track that continues the narrative of the earlier 'Sign'. It draws the moment of being pulled deeper toward someone until the feeling runs out of control.

'Sign' was the title track of April's mini album. This song takes the next scene of a song from four months ago.

Place the two together and they become one story — from the song about receiving a signal to the song about catching fire. The titles say the order.

The repeating chorus

The chorus is built on a hook that repeats 'Like fire, fire'.

A chorus that repeats the same words puts sound ahead of meaning. Hear it once and it stays; hear it twice and you are singing along.

Repeating the word fire also fits. Fire spreads on its own once lit. The way the chorus spreads and what the lyric says are the same thing.

The matchstick move

The stage's signature move is striking a match, blowing it out, and throwing it away. Hands are wrapped in white bandage; the outfits are black.

Put a prop gesture into choreography and that gesture comes to stand for the song. Even without knowing the title, seeing the move tells you which song it is.

Striking and extinguishing a match moves the title straight into the body. Light, extinguish, throw — three steps inside one motion.

Discovery notes

Listen to 'Sign' first, then 'Like Fire'. Whether two songs four months apart connect as one story is the first thing to check.

Then count the chorus repetitions. Which one has you singing along is the test of this hook.

Last, find the match move in the stage footage. Light, out, throw — that order is the song's order.

Just give it a listen, trust me.
