It was co-written by Phillips, as well as Todd Clark, Derek Fuhrmann and Gregg Wattenberg, the latter of which also served as its producer. "Raging Fire" was released on his record label, Interscope Records.
It is a great love song with a neat beat and the lyrics are quite vivid. Phillips uses a "raging fire" as an allusion of love and it works effectively. The tune's melody is infectious, similar to his single "Gone Gone Gone." His vocals are crisp and reminiscent of those of his musical hero, Dave Matthews.
