Background

In August 2013, it was announced that Tina Arena would be returning with new single and a new album. "You Set Fire to My Life" is the lead single and it is about the loves of her life, her partner Vincent Mancini and her son Gabriel.Arena said, "The song is about them allowing me to shine, like I hope I allow them to do also." she added, "It's the great thing about being in a relationship where you know there's genuine love with a man who inspires me and challenges me, both intellectually and spiritually. I guess it is a tribute to him. When you do find someone you are on the same page with, it's a beautiful thing."[2]

Reviews

Brendan Veevers of Renowned for Sound gave the track 5/5 and stated, "'You Set Fire to My Life' is a mid-tempo ballad on a mission to pull at your heartstrings. The track is made up of a gentle and instrumentally minimalistic verse and an up beat but sentimentally exquisite chorus that does a fantastic job at getting engrained into your head almost instantaneously."[6] A review from Smooth FM said the song embodies "the spirit of the record".[7]</ref>
