  • Villit from ColoradoI liked this until I saw the video. Looks like sex being forced upon. I will immediately delete this from any Playlist. Stopped me dead in my tracks, having been a victim of sexual violence. OMG...WTF
  • Terry from Grafon, WiWe've all had someone whose sex was on fire...
  • Layla from Charleston, ScEver had a sexual relationship that was manic? Can't get enough, obsessive sexual attraction...sex on fire!
  • Angie from Bastrop, Txso funny! I guesse people get what they need out of music. when i saw the video, i instantly thought of those old hospitals for alcohol detox. strapped in bed, hydrotherapy, seeing strange things... lol! i love KOL
  • Kirstin from San Diego, Cathis song is freaking awesome i want to see them sooo bad in concert lolz i love kings of leon and this song is cool
  • Xxbleedingheartxx from Barrie, OnKings Of Leon is an amazing band.
  • Keyla965 from Orlando, Afghanistani love this song with all my nonexistent shallow heart....... i love caleb too.......and i love sex on fire...... and i love sex .......
  • Nicole from Plymouth, MaKings Of Leon ROCK!!! Love their story. They are All American Boys.
  • Fatjopa from Cookeville, TnHead While I'm Drivin'...
  • Nick from Seattle, Albaniai hate people who diss this song saying the band "sold out" by changing their sound from raw rock to this. bands naturaly evolve! look at Zeppelin and the Beatles. KOL 4 life!
  • Jordan from Spokane, WaI read in the April issue of Rolling Stone that Caleb actually wrote this song after this insane fight between himself, Jared, and Nathan. Apparently none of the three can remember how the fight started but nathan went ballistic and stabbed Nathans bed with a kitchen knife and broke a mirror. Inevitably Caleb had a dislocated shoulder, and wasnt supposed to play the guitar for nine months but within a week he was at work on "sex on fire". The song in turn won the band their first grammy.
