Flames

## **Flames**Single by David Guetta

"*Hot stuff*"
—Donna Summer
Flames is a song by David Guetta and Sia, released as the third single from the former's seventh studio album, *7* (2018).

## Background

The song was released on 22 March 2018. A lyric video was uploaded to David Guetta's YouTube channel.

## Music video

The official music video for "Flames" was released on 5 April 2018 on Guetta's YouTube channel. The video emulates 1970s *wuxia* films and features three women (Lauren Mary Kim, Courtney Chen and Erin Wu) training with their martial arts master (Danny Trejo). The training includes chopping a block of wood, balancing wooden buckets, and catching a fly with chopsticks, but suddenly they are ambushed by a group of ninjas, and the master allows himself to be killed. The three are then captured and taken to the palace, where they encounter the emperor (Guetta). Then the three break free and fight all the ninjas, but the emperor defeats them by throwing fireballs. The master then reappears in ghostly form, and encourages them to fight back. Eventually, the three defeat the emperor by forcing his fire-casting hands down to his crotch hence burning him to the ground in a rather painful way, ending with the master watching them from above happily. The video was directed by Lior Molcho.

## Lyrics

* Standard
* Extended

One foot in front of the other, babe

One breath leads to another, yeah

Just keep moving

Look within for the strength today

Listen now for the voice to say

Just keep moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, but don't stop moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running

You gotta get through today

There my love, keep on running

Gotta keep those tears at bay

Oh, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta send them up in flames

In flames

Don't stop, tomorrow's another day

Don't stop, tomorrow you'll feel no pain

Just keep moving

Don't stop, the past will trip you up

You know, right now's gotta be enough

Just keep moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, but don't stop moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running

You gotta get through today

There my love, keep on running

Gotta keep those tears at bay

Oh, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta send them up in flames

In flames

In flames

In flames

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, but don't stop moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running

You gotta get through today

There my love, keep on running

Gotta keep those tears at bay

Oh, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta send them up in flames

In flames

One foot in front of the other, babe

One breath leads to another, yeah

Just keep moving

Look within for the strength today

Listen now for the voice to say

Just keep moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, but don't stop moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running

You gotta get through today

There my love, keep on running

Gotta keep those tears at bay

Oh, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta burn those blues away

Yeah, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta send them up in flames

In flames

Don't stop, tomorrow's another day

Don't stop, tomorrow you'll feel no pain

Just keep moving

Don't stop, the past will trip you up

You know, right now's gotta be enough

Just keep moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, but don't stop moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running

You gotta get through today

There my love, keep on running

Gotta keep those tears at bay

Oh, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta burn those blues away

Yeah, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta send them up in flames

In flames

In flames

In flames

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, but don't stop moving

Go, go, go, figure it out

Figure it out, you can do this

So my love, keep on running

You gotta get through today

There my love, keep on running

Gotta keep those tears at bay

Oh, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta burn those blues away

Yeah, my love, don't stop burning

Gotta send them up in flames

In flames
