At first listen, Florida Georgia Line’s latest single, “Sippin’ on Fire,” might seem like a party song, but Brian Kelley says, “’Sippin’ On Fire’ is a little darker and more serious. It’s real life music and real life lyrics and I think we’ve all been in a spot where you’re kinda sippin’ on fire, playin’ with fire.”
While Brian and Tyler didn’t write the song, Brian says, “The writers on the song did an excellent job. They wrote the heck out of it. It’s just such a strong emotion, this song. Love it.”
