Background
"Firelight" is a ballad song originally composed for Sharon den Adel's solo album My Indigo. The song was at that time considered too dark to fit the release, and then was put on hold. After meeting Jasper Steverlinck on a flemish tv show, den Adel invited the singer to do a part on the song as she found that they had a real connection and their voices matched well together. After some reworking, it then ended up appearing on den Adel's band Within Temptation seventh studio album Resist official tracklist. The song is considered dark and atmospheric and, according to Metal Hammer, it oscillates between a "mystic goth and dark folk" mood. It later entered the Ultratip Bubbling Under charts in Belgium.
