He had planned to record "Fire Lake" for his 1975 album Beautiful Loser, but the track was not finished. The song had been partly written years before, in 1971{{Citation needed|date=July 2009}}, and was finally finished in 1979 and released in 1980 on Seger's album Against the Wind. The single reached number 6 on the Billboard Hot 100.[1] A live version of the song appeared on the album Nine Tonight, released in 1981. Background and writingSeger and colleagues decided to make "Fire Lake" the first single from Against the Wind because it was "totally and unequivocally unlike anything I'd ever done before."{{fact|date=October 2018}}
Music critic Maury Dean describes the song as an "ominous ballad" about "4th of July fireworks."[2] Dean praises the song's intensity, Seger's vocal and the "nifty" minor chords the song uses.[2] Dean speculates that the title may not be entirely figurative, as there may be a hidden reference to a midwestern body of water which literally caught fire, the Cuyahoga River in Ohio.[2] ProductionThree of the Eagles provided the backing vocals for this track: Glenn Frey, Don Henley and Timothy B. Schmit. Seger's recording engineer David Cole makes reference to the song on his website when he talks of his history with Seger: "I was there when the Eagles sang 'Who wants to go to Fire Lake?' and many other great moments during the Stranger in Town album".[3] Chart performance{{col-begin}}{{col-2}}Weekly charts
