Eric Church; Heart On Fire

Country superstar Eric Church has fans looking back on his iconic career in the music video for his latest single, “Heart On Fire.” 

The nostalgic clip pieces together Church’s music videos from his entire catalog, ranging from his 2006 debut release, “How ‘Bout You,” to the current day as the video concludes with a brand new “Heart On Fire” performance clip alongside his backing vocalist, Joanna Cotten. 

Other videos seen throughout the Reid Long – directed clip include “Two Pink Lines,” “Guys Like Me,” “Springsteen,” “Record Year,” and more.

“Heart On Fire” is the third radio single from Church’s triple album, Heart & Soul. The song is a standout among the triple release and continues to climb the charts at country radio. 

The track was written solely by the North Carolina native and find him giving shout-outs to Elvis’s “All Shook Up” to Guns N’ Roses “Paradise City.”

Church is currently in the midst of his massive Gather Again Tour.

With dates planned throughout 2022, the Gather Again Tour is a must-see as it features an all-new in-the-round stage and features a set list like no other. 

“The hardest thing I’ve done thus far in my career is this setlist,” Church previously shared. “It’s not a normal record; it’s three. So, you add 28 songs to what we already had going, which is a pretty stacked and packed setlist, and when you start to try to get rid of stuff and change it every night – which I’m committed to; we’re still going to play the different set, we’re going to give people different experiences – it has been maddening.

“It’s the most musical we’ve ever been,” he continued. “To see the way the new music happens in the show is something that I’m excited just to see and, also, we’re trying to reimagine songs that we’ve played 100 times, playing them different, and that’s just fun. It’s fun for us to do. There’s going to be a lot of songs that fans aren’t gonna recognize at first, that we’re gonna start singing and they’re going to go ‘oh yeah, that’s that song.’ So, I think it’s just fun after this many years to change it up and make it about music; make it musical. I’m just excited to see the reaction.”
