Fire Song released

Composed by Devi Sri Prasad, Fire Song has lyrics penned by Viveka and vocals by VM Mahalingam, Senthil Ganesh, Shenbagaraj and Deepthi Suresh. B Praak and Pavithra Chari sung the Hindi version of the song, while Anurag Kulkarni, Deepthi Suresh sang it in Telugu.

The lyrics talk of the fire within Suriya’s character in the film and the video shows a glimpse of him dancing with his tribesmen. The song feels like an introductory number to one of his characters in the film.

Sharing the number on X (formerly Twitter), Disha Patani wrote, “Through the flames of destiny, let's find our inner tribal instincts. Let's celebrate our Kanguva's birthday with the Fire Song.” A poster was also released by Siva and his team before the song’s release, hinting at the conflict between conservatism and modernity in the film.

Fans react

“Who are all are eagerly waiting to see Suriya Anna (brother) after 2 and a half years,” commented a fan under the video on YouTube, looking forward to seeing him on-screen again after the 2022 films Etharkkum Thunindhavan and Vikram. Another wrote, “SURIYA na + DSP na COMEBACK after SINGAM.”

One fan commented, “Mahalingam voice just firing up.” Another commented, “Wow what a song. Proud to be a Tamilian. No words…” One praised DSP for the “neat beat” while another stated to have “goosebumps”.
