The song reached #17 on the United States Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart and #8 on the UK Download Chart. It was featured on the in-game soundtrack to the PlayStation 2 and Xbox video game Burnout 3: Takedown. The song "This Fire" has become part of the hockey culture in Calgary, Alberta. This song is played in every Calgary Flames home game.
The single was released in Australia as "This Fffire" [sic] with identical b-sides to the UK release of "Michael". The music video for the song was directed by Stylewar.
