“‘Fires Don’t Start Themselves’ is out now!!” posted the country star as the track became available. “I’m so excited for you all to finally hear it.” The mid-tempo song, led by Rucker’s powerful vocals, strident guitar, and with fiddle detail, follows the already-shared “Same Beer Different Problem” and “Ol’ Church Hymn” as tasters for the album.

The new song is written by Dan Isbell, Ben Hayslip, and Jacob Rice. Says Rucker: “When I first heard ‘Fires Don’t Start Themselves,’ the hook immediately got me. The beginning of the chorus, ‘Let’s drink what’s left of this…’ is classic ’90s country. I love it!”
