Jay Ratinoff is bringing the heat with his new single “Fire!”
The singer/songwriter is dropping both the English and Spanish versions of the scorching bilingual dance track exclusively on Celeb Secrets this morning and spoiler alert — its a total bop that will get you on your feet in no time.
“’Fire’ was a made up of story that came out of my subconscious mind. When I’m writing lyrics, I usually don’t think of someone specifically. I usually have a lyrical idea in my head, and I start from there,” Ratinoff tells us.
“One morning, I actually had the first lyrical idea that said: ‘Un beso normal, es casi como no respirar’. I got hooked on that first lyrical and melodic idea and went from there.”
First written in Spanish with the English version following thereafter, the song is about embracing the heat and sensuality of the moment.
“In both English and Spanish versions, the song had always the word ‘Fire.’ I am very proud of this song because of the combination of my melodic, lyrical and emotional ideas. When I’m writing a song, I almost say in lyrics what I can’t express when I am with someone specifically with words,” Ratinoff states.
Just prior to the release of “Fire,” Jay made waves with a pair of explosive singles: “Honey” clocked over 274K YouTube views as the follow-up ”DESNÚDAME”
This year, he underwent an awakening and activated a 360-degree reinvention receiving a second baptism as an adult at St. Bart’s in the Bay Area. In the wake of the baptism, the spiritual renewal crystallized his musical perspective for the first time, drawing on influences ranging from Joy Division and Peter Hook to Billy Idol and traveling new territory without a pre-existing roadmap.
