Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Many people in Japan probably think of fireworks when they hear “summer.”

Fireworks that spread across the night sky after a festival, as well as those enjoyed with family, are scenes that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for Japanese people.

While it’s easy to find songs about fireworks in Japanese music, it can be surprisingly difficult to immediately name a few Western songs that “sing about fireworks.”

Fireworks are called “firework” or “fireworks” in English, and in this article we introduce not only songs that use “firework(s)” as a theme, but also tracks where fireworks are used metaphorically, along with recommended Western songs you might enjoy alongside real fireworks.

We also review the meanings of the lyrics, so be sure to check them out!

One of Bruno Mars’s classic songs, released in 2013.

Bruno’s passionate, soulful vocals pair perfectly with the funk- and disco-inspired sound and the passionate, sweet lyrics.

If you listen to it while watching fireworks with your partner, it might turn into an even more sparkling, unforgettable night.

I’d like to introduce “Get On Your Knees (feat.

Ariana Grande)” as a song where fireworks appear in a slightly unusual way.

It’s a collaboration between Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande, and within it there’s a lyric that references Katy Perry’s song “Firework.” Listening to them together lets you enjoy the world-building even more deeply.

I also recommend it for the stunning harmonies delivered by these two superstars.

In conclusion

This time I introduced some Western songs on a rather niche theme, but as I mentioned at the beginning, there actually aren’t that many songs in Western music that sing directly about fireworks.

Conversely, by looking at how “fireworks” appears in the lyrics, you can see how overseas artists perceive them, which makes it really interesting!
