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.^[2]

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."^[3]

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."^[7] A review from Smooth FM said the song embodies "the spirit of the record".^[8]
