As the sheer exuberant joy of this video suggests, Sigrid and Griff already had a mutual admiration society going on. That was before they connected with each other during lockdowns and before they hung out together and had a songwriting session, the fruit of which was 'Head on Fire'.
An uplifting, giddy headrush of pure pop, 'Head on Fire' seeks to capture the experience of meeting someone new, who utterly disrupts your thoughts and feelings, who you are not able to stop thinking about. A particularly irresistible ear worm, it's surprising that it didn't go on to dominate the charts upon its release in January 2022. Especially given the love it received from critics ahead of its release. But, over a year on, it's ageing well and has all the early hallmarks of a pop classic.
