Background
"Feed the Flames" is the second single from Gemma Hayes's new album, which is expected to be released in mid-2024. Promoting the new single, Hayes explained that the song was influenced by the film Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, saying:
I originally began writing the song after watching Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton. Knowing a bit about their relationship off screen I was really taken by the depth of their connection, it was a living, breathing fire. What I got from delving into their relationship is that you can love something or someone so much only for your human fallibility to come along and destroy it.[2]
The song was co-produced with Dave Odlum and features back-up vocals and song writing credits from Lisa Hannigan.[2]
Release
It received airplay on RTÉ Radio 1 and was featured on their recommended new songs playlist.[3]

The "Feed the Flames" music video was filmed on location at Baltimore in West Cork, Ireland and was produced by the Wonder Brothers.[4]
