"Raging Fire" was written by Phillips, Todd Clark, Derek Fuhrmann, and Gregg Wattenberg.

"Derek [Fuhrmann], Todd [Clark] and I literally wrote that song a week and a half ago.

"[3] In addition, Phillips had mixed feelings of performing live on Fox saying, "I like seeing all the people that I got to know… It's cool to see all those faces," he says.

"But it's also weird for me to get back up onstage and sing, because I hate live television, and I'm gonna be scared to death when I get up there.

[15] The song appeared in a tribute to Dusty Rhodes that aired on the June 15 episode of WWE Raw a week after his death.

Direct Lyrics gave a positive review, " The chorus is stellar, and the feel-good energy the track oozes is similar to “Home", and this will, undoubtedly, make "Raging Fire" set the charts ablaze.

"[7] Whitney Phaneuf of HitFix Music also gave a positive review, ""Raging Fire" is as radio-friendly as Phillips’ previous hits "Home" and "Gone, Gone, Gone," but features an anthemic chorus that's reminiscent of Fun.’s "We Are Young".

"[16] According to Life of a Rockstar (LOAR), "The song alternates between strings, bold drums, folk enhanced synth with moments of quiet that highlight the sexy sound of Phillips a cappella.

"Raging Fire" is perfect example of how music can embody and fuse together a stunning presentation of rock with an acoustic persuasion.

Voices considered ""Raging Fire" at its lyrical core is a love song, and Phillips delivers an upbeat, hopeful vocal that accentuates the free-to-live, free-to-love nature of the single.

Instrumentally, the song is infectiously booming in its delivery, featuring a chorus of strings, full-on drums, and rhythmic acoustic guitar work that is bound to get listeners up on their feet, or at least dancing in their minds at the office."

[18] According to Carter Matt, "The song has some moments that bring to mind “Gone, Gone, Gone" as well as "Home," but we mostly consider that to be a good thing.

These are songs that America responded well to, and they helped to turn his first album "The World from the Side of the Moon" into a massive hit.

We have no doubt that this will be anything other than a big hit on the adult contemporary charts, and we could also see it getting a little bit of play on top 40 radio.

"[19] Marcos Papadatos of Digital Journal gave a strong positive review, "It is a great love song with a neat beat and the lyrics are quite vivid.

"[20] Bill Lamb from about.com listed "Raging Fire" on "Top 10 New Pop Songs March 4, 2014" at number 2, behind Coldplay's "Magic".

[23] On March 14, 2014, the song debuted at number 58 on the Billboard Hot 100, the second highest new entry of the week, with 74,000 digital copies sold.

In addition it reports that Phillips will promote the song on his Headline Tour in June ending in July.

"[34] Another positive review came from Jason Scott of Pop Dust says, "As he continues to sing the poignant lyrics, his friends are seen painting around him on the paper.

[41] According to Playiga.com by Interscope Geffen A&M music group, Phillips also performed on Good Morning America (ABC) on May 20 and on the Today Show (NBC) on June 27.
