"Just Like Fire" is a song recorded by American singer Pink for the soundtrack to the 2016 film, Alice Through the Looking Glass. Pink co-wrote the song with Max Martin, Shellback, and Oscar Holter, who all serve as producers on the track.[1] The song was released to digital retailers through RCA Records on April 15, 2016 and was serviced to American adult pop radio through RCA and Walt Disney Records on April 18, 2016.[2][3]

Upon its release, "Just Like Fire" debuted in the top 50 on multiple international singles charts. In Australia it reached number one in its second week and was also certified Gold by ARIA.[4]

Composition

"Just Like Fire" is a pop rock song with hip hop influences written by Pink, Max Martin, Shellback, and Oscar Holter. The trio was also responsible for the song's production.[5] The song has been praised for maintaining Pink's signature sound, but also covering new ground stylistically, including a rap style breakdown.[6] Pink, in an interview with People, stated that her daughter, Willow Sage, was the inspiration for the track.[7] The song marks the first occasion that the singer has written an original song for a live action feature film.[6]

Release

Ahead of the track's April 15, 2016 premiere date, Pink uploaded a preview picture, suspected to be from the song's music video,[8] to her Instagram account. It featured the singer snarling at the camera while wearing a black lace outfit with a thorn-insipired black headpiece. The image was captioned "Let's do this #justlikefire".[8] The following day the song was released to digital retailers. Following the initial release, Pink topped the Billboard + Twitter Trending 140 chart, which measures the acceleration of conversation around artists and their music.[5]

Commercial performance

In the United States, "Just Like Fire" received 798 and 565 plays on contemporary hit radio and hot adult contemporary radio, respectively, on its first day of availability (April 15, 2016).[9] After the official add dates (April 19, 2016 for CHR and April 18, 2016 for Hot AC), "Just Like Fire" ranked as the most-added song at Hot AC radio with 62 Mediabase-monitored stations, more than double the amount of the second-most-added song.[10] The song resultantly debuted at 38 and 27, respectively, on the Billboard Pop Songs and Adult Pop Songs charts dated April 30, 2016. "Just Like Fire" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number 42 on the chart dated May 7, 2016.[11] It has since peaked at number 16.

The song also performed well internationally, reaching the top 10 in Australia, Hungary, and Scotland. "Just Like Fire" saw its greatest commercial success in Australia, where it debuted at number 2 on the ARIA Singles Chart. The following week, the song rose to number one, giving Pink her eighth Australian No. 1, and was also certified Gold by ARIA.[4] In Canada, the song entered the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 at number 35 on the chart dated May 7, 2016.[12]
