UK soul singer Beverley Knight released "Keep This Fire Burning" as the third and final single from her fourth studio album, Affirmation. "Keep This Fire Burning" served as a compromise between Beverley and her record company over the final tracklisting of Affirmation. Parlophone saw it as track which would help propel Knight back into the mainstream. She obliged, recorded the track in Sweden, and in return was left with her desired album track listing. It was the final song recorded for the album.

"Keep This Fire Burning" was a massive airplay hit for Knight, peaking inside the UK airplay top 5, her highest charting single in the UK airplay chart to date. The single became her 6th Top 20 and 12th Top 40 solo single in the UK, managing to chart at a very respectable #16.
