Songfacts®:

  • Speaking about the song's meaning, Passenger said: "'Hearts on Fire' is a nostalgic song. It's about when the timing with someone isn't right, even though the person might be. And although you're not with that person at the time, there may be a moment in the future where the relationship makes more sense."
  • The first single from Passenger's Whispers album, this was released on April 14, 2014.
  • Passenger and Ed Sheeran have been friends since their teenage years. Passenger served as the opening act for Ed in 2012 and 2013, and while touring in Dublin, the pair filmed an acoustic version of the song.
