"Start the Fire" is a song by Swedish band Alcazar, released as the second single from their compilation album Dancefloor Deluxe, before their three-year hiatus. The chorus is borrowed from Billy Joel's classic hit "We Didn't Start the Fire", though the verses are completely new. It also features samples from "Heartache # 9" by Delegation. The maxi single contains two previously unreleased tracks "Glamourama" and "Nothing But the Video On".
The track reached number 10 in Sweden, and number 87 in Switzerland.
A music video was produced to promote the single. During the filming of the video, one of the lead singers, Annikafiore broke her foot. Therefore, she was only shown in certain scenes of the music video (the ones shot before the injury).
