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!

Fireworks Ft. Moss Kena & The KnocksPurple Disco Machine

Purple Disco Machine, a music producer who enjoys immense support in Germany’s house music scene.

Having listened to rock in his childhood, his sound is full of playfulness and differs from typical house music by incorporating rock flavors.

Among his works, the one themed around fireworks is “Fireworks Ft.

Moss Kena & The Knocks.” It’s a track that mixes a wide range of genres—house, tropical house, and soul music—while also adding rock elements, resulting in an up-tempo composition.

Martin Garrix – Pizza (Official Video)

PizzaMartin Garrix

Martin Garrix is a top DJ representing the Netherlands.

He has released many great uptempo tracks.

Among them, the one I especially recommend as a perfect match for fireworks is “Pizza.” It starts with a violin intro that suggests a serious mood, but as the energy gradually builds and the chorus hits, it shifts into a very uptempo style.

It pairs perfectly with the fun atmosphere of fireworks, so why not use it as BGM when you go watch fireworks with friends?

FireworksThe Tragically Hip

The Tragically Hip – Fireworks (Audio/2023 Remastered)

FireworksThe Tragically Hip

It’s a classic by The Tragically Hip, a band Canada is proud of, evoking a summer night sky lit with fireworks.

Released in November 1998, the track came out as the third single from the album Phantom Power.

The lyrics, filled with affection for Canadian culture and history—referencing the 1972 Summit Series and Bobby Orr, among others—are especially memorable.

It reached No.

9 on the RPM Singles Chart and resonated with many, even appearing in the Canadian TV drama Corner Gas.

Nostalgically portraying the fleeting brilliance of youth like fireworks, as well as long-lasting relationships that endure hardships, it’s a song you’ll want to listen to with someone special at summer’s end.
