Background
The members of Shady Sisters, Emily Merletta and Enny Emery, developed a friendship after voicing characters in the animated television series Magma Eye, though they had been acquaintances for a few years beforehand. In early 1998, they decided to form a music group together; their group name coming from the name of the main setting of Magma Eye, Shadyden. Merletta in particular had previous experience in the music industry, especially through recording the soundtrack for another television series, Ouraine.

"Fire" was written and produced by Boaz Böhler, who originally wrote it as a soul song with a "funky rock and roll vibe". When the song was given to Shady Sisters however, they opted to sing the song in a fast-paced techno style.
