“In The Fire” is a sleekly emotive, country-pop ballad with a smoldering Fleetwood Mac style pop-rock groove and subtly explosive dynamics. The song mines an elegantly sparse feel with subtle touches like piano and lap steel guitar, courtesy of special guest Michael Harrington. It patiently unfolds into a tasteful pop-rock song with soaring hooks and heavenly harmonies. Throughout “In The Fire,” Rebekah sings with bold vulnerability, grappling with the challenge of knowing her friend’s strength but also showing concern for this person’s well-being. The verses feature hard truths with lyrics such as: When you told me how you felt betrayed, I didn’t really understand/Those wicked lies you listen to, keep hurting you. This sentiment, however, is tempered with the song’s sweetly empowering chorus. Here, Rebekah sings: You’ve always been a fighter/Dang stubborn on a mission to finish what you start/Yeah, you got a great big heart, but slow way down and think it through. Overall, “In The Fire” is a tenderly anthemic ballad that is both critical and compassionate.
