Jonah Prill brought the house down on NBC’s American Song Contest on Monday evening with a performance of his steamy original track, “Fire It Up.”

The “Montana Cowboy” brought his rural lifestyle to the stage as he sported a cowboy hat and was surrounded by hay bales and a pickup truck. 

Step aside, begging for a two lane / Hey, baby what’s you say? / How ’bout we fire it up? / Just like a more blood to carry on a new flame / How ’bout we fire it up? / We been heatin’ up, baby, for way too long / What you waitin’ on? Let’s get gone / We’re a field of grass, can of gas / Perfect match ready to get struck / How ’bout we fire it up? (Hey),” Prill sings on the chorus of the song.

Following his performance, co-hosts Snoop Dogg and Kelly Clarkson commented on Prill’s song and Clarkson even seemed to joke about his alluring looks. 

“Are you ready to fire it up? Did you already fire it up?” Clarkson joked with Snoop, to which he replied, “I really am, I mean, I’m talking about song wise, What are you talking about?”

“Just the song that’s on fire, that’s all… that’s what I was talking about,” Clarkson said as she blushed, laughing.

The 24-year-old, who was born and raised in Billings, Montana joined the show after producers reached out to his team.
