“Fire” is the song to be performed by Sarah Engels, representing Germany at Eurovision 2026, which will take place in Vienna, Austria on May 12th, 14th, and 16th. The song was co-written by Engels together with Dario Schürmann, Luisa Heinemann, Raphael Lott, and Valentin Boes.

Lyrics – “Fire”
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
Boy, I’m out of your league
Nonsense what you’ve been doin’ to me
Just know, that I could take my revenge
I could go out with all of your friends
I can fake it till I make it, but I won’t
If you crave it you can take it, but you don’t
I don’t want it, I don’t need it
And I won’t let you repeat it
You just play it till you break it and it’s blown
I’m on fire, fire
You’re a liar, liar
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
Like a vampire, you hide
Then come out at night
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
I’m on fire, fire
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
Just wait a minute you’re gonna see
That you won’t find another like me
You come around and I’ll be too late
‘Cause I won’t do the same old mistake
I can fake it till I make it, but I won’t
If you crave it you can take it, but you don’t
I don’t want it, I don’t need it
And I won’t let you repeat it
You just play it till you break it and it’ѕ blown
I’m on fire, fire
You’re a liar, liar
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
Like a vampire, you hide
Then come out at night
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
I’m on fire, fire
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
Like a vampire, you hide
Then come out at night
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
I’m on fire
I’m on fire, fire
You’re a liar, liar
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
Like a vampire, you hide
Then come out at night
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
I’m on fire
I’m on fire
Like a vampire, you hide
Then come out аt night
Stop denyin’, nyin’
No lyin’, lyin’ no more
