The Boss opened up about how his songwriting magic happens
Sometimes greatness works quickly.
Bruce Springsteen revealed in a new interview that one of his most popular songs, “I’m on Fire” from 1984’s Born in the U.S.A, was also one of the songs he wrote the quickest.
In a Rolling Stone interview with singer Zach Bryan, published on Oct. 16, the two musicians discussed the next album Bryan is working on and decisions the 28-year-old would make about songs. Then Bryan asked Springsteen, 75, about “I’m on Fire.” He asked, “When it came to ‘I’m on Fire’ — the synth, did that come first or was it what you’re missing after?”
