.natesmithsongs' ‘World on Fire’ Finds a Silver Lining in Personal Tragedy
Smith, who was on the path to becoming a nurse, lost everything in the tragedy. But he wrote a song about the experience, “One of These Days,” and when it went viral, he ended up returning to Nashville, where he had previously recorded for Word, and gave music a second shot. Another song, “Wildfire,” led to his recording contract with Sony Music Nashville in 2021. Now his second radio single — “World on Fire,” which RCA Nashville released to“I have a fire theme in my songs,” he says.
“I said, ‘You know, that person’s whole world is on fire,’ and I just wrote that down on my phone and really never looked back at it,” he recalls. “I was scrolling through one day and started thinking about a relationship, breaking up with somebody in a town like that. You know, you’re not just leaving that person. You’re taking the whole town with you, leaving memories everywhere.”
“I’m big on the melodies,” he says. “Obviously, Ashley Gorley is the king of that, but really making it my own is important, and I can tell certain melodies don’t work. Like if it’s too happy — I know it sounds kind of emo — but if it’s too giddy, it’s not a Nate melody.” Phillips was impressed by Smith’s willingness to tackle such a horrific topic. “I think that what’s so cool about his artistry is that because he is that vulnerable, he is willing to open up,” says Phillips. “He’s able to tell the world a lot of things that some people probably wouldn’t want to.”
Since Smith’s self-titled debut had already been turned in, Rimes planned to take his time finishing “World on Fire.” But Smith, with the label’s support, put the chorus up on TikTok on Jan. 14, and it created instant, overwhelming demand. That also presented a bit of a problem: His self-titled debut album was already being pre-sold; if they changed anything about the 20-song collection, it would nullify all those sales.
