The album was recorded from 1999 to 2000, with several of the tracks being co-written and co-produced by 'N Sync member JC Chasez, Oliver Leiber, Robbie Nevil, 3AM and Sweden's Epicenter.

Fire was slated to be released in August 2000 and in support of it, Wild Orchid was due to be the opening act for 'N Sync's No Strings Attached Tour.

Unfortunately, Stacy Ferguson became addicted to crystal meth at the time, and because of this, the group had to cancel touring plans with 'N Sync, and the release date of Fire was pushed back to June 19, 2001.

[4] "Stuttering (Don't Say)" was released as the album's lead single on May 8, 2001, and the group toured with other teen-pop acts and performed at clubs and small venues from May to August 2001.

Also, radio station KDME in Minneapolis hosted a concert on May 28, 2001, which featured not only Wild Orchid but The Black Eyed Peas as well, which Stacy Ferguson would later become a member of.
