"World on Fire" is a song by American rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, featured on their sixth studio album It's the End of the World but It's a Beautiful Day (2023).
It was released on April 26, 2024 through Concord Records, as the third single from the album.
"World on Fire" was written by Jared and Shannon Leto, with additional contributions from Steve McCutcheon, Johnny McDaid, and Ed Sheeran, of whom the first four produced the song alongside Oscar Neidhardt. It was recorded at the International Centre for the Advancement of the Arts and Sciences of Sound in Los Angeles, California. Frontman Jared Leto described the song as a reflection on the turbulent nature of the world, both environmentally and socially. With its introspective lyrics, the track continues the band's tradition of blending personal and global themes.[1]
Musically, "World on Fire" reinforces the heavily layered production that defined much of the band's later works. It features a minimalist instrumentation, with clean guitars, subtle electronic elements, and a prominent vocal performance from Jared Leto. The lyrics of the song deal with themes of uncertainty, resistance, and hope in a world facing numerous crises.[2]
