Commercially, "On Fire" reached number ten in Wallonia and number eight on the Flemish Ultratip, an extension to the main Ultratop ranking. Antranig Shokayan, writing for Wiwibloggs, likened the lyrical message of "On Fire" to the themes explored on Nottet's Selfocracy, particularly to " Million Eyes" (2016). PureMédias's Yohann Ruelle likened the urban influences in the song to those presented in " Doctor" (2017), while Julien Goncalves of the same publication noticed similarities between "On Fire" and the music of Australian singer Sia. Jonathan Currinn of CelebMix praised Nottet's "near-perfect" and emotional vocal delivery in "On Fire", while also commending the lyrical content.
In an interview, Nottet revealed that he wanted to create a pop recording that still differed from the material on Selfocracy. Starting with a "peaceful" instrumental sequence, "On Fire" has been described as a midtempo, urban-inspired electropop song. Nouma Foé, an editor of Chérie FM, interpreted the lyrics of "On Fire" differently: " tell the story of a man abandoned by a woman, who decides to dive straight ahead in hell, and ends up losing himself because he lost the love of his life." Musically, the song follows the path of Nottet's past work, incorporating " electronic flourishes and adventurous instrumentation". "On Fire" is directed at the criticism the singer had received throughout his career. Alongside rebirth, Nottet also discusses perseverance, eventually asserting that he will "get back up" and "light up like a flare". Lyrics from the track's refrain include: "I'm burnin' I'm on fire/Here I am, inside the flames/I don't care anymore, don't need your oxygen/I'm burning in a new way/Here I am, taming the flames/Not afraid anymore/Strong like a warrior". The singer explores themes of worthlessness as he sings, "he said that falling down, it wouldn’t make a sound". During its first verse, Nottet discusses the emotions of a little boy "too different to belong, too lonely to be strong", while in the second one he switches to a little girl "from a broken family with a silent fantasy". Lyrically, "On Fire" reflects four personalities, "the charmer, the child, the clown and the lonely melancholy", as Nottet wanted to personify the moods he was in while composing the song. Sacha Skarbek ( pictured) co-wrote "On Fire" with Nottet. It commercially experienced moderate success in Belgium's Wallonia and Flanders regions. For further promotion, the singer delivered multiple live performances of "On Fire" on several radio stations. Featuring a message of courage and strength, it depicts Nottet encountering a faux dragon and eventually managing to tame it. An accompanying music video for "On Fire" was uploaded onto Nottet's YouTube channel on 7 December 2018 and was directed by Skarbek. Upon its release, "On Fire" received praise from one music critic for Nottet's vocal delivery and the lyrical content, while others likened the single to the singer's debut studio album Selfocracy (2017) and to the music of Sia. Four personalities are reflected on the track, as Nottet wanted to personify the moods he was in while composing the song. Its lyrics are directed at the criticism the singer had received during his career, and discuss topics such as worthlessness, perseverance and rebirth.
Musically, "On Fire" is a midtempo, urban-inspired electropop song similar to Nottet's past work. It was written by Nottet along with Sacha Skarbek, while production was handled by Skydancers.
