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!

Hymn For The WeekendColdplay

Coldplay is a rock band from the UK that has sold over 100 million records worldwide.

They’re hugely popular in Japan as well.

The band has created numerous classic songs, and among them, the one I especially recommend as a perfect fit for fireworks is Hymn For The Weekend.

Released in 2016, this track was intended from the production stage to be a party song, so while it’s not overtly so, it retains a party-song vibe.

Demi Lovato – Stars (Audio Only)

StarsDemi Lovato

Let me introduce a hidden gem by American pop singer Demi Lovato.

Included on the deluxe edition of the album “Confident,” this track is an energetic number that fuses dance-pop and electropop.

Centered on the theme of stars shining in the night sky, it delivers a message brimming with hope and confidence.

Released in October 2015, it wasn’t put out as a single and is thus known mainly to dedicated listeners, but it’s a gem that showcases Demi’s powerful vocals and richly expressive delivery to the fullest.

It’s a romantic, uplifting song you’ll want to listen to on a summer night while gazing up at a starry sky lit by fireworks.
