"Fireworks" (released 5th May 1997) was the first chart single by English band Embrace, and the first to reach the top 40. This was an EP, consisting of 3 songs from the debut album "The Good Will Out", which reached #1 in the UK charts. The popular and well recognised b-side "Blind", was released on the Canadian version of the album.
"Fireworks" is a song written, produced and recorded by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees in 1982. It was released as a stand-alone single in between the Banshees albums Juju and A Kiss in the Dreamhouse.
The song marked a change in direction for Siouxsie & the Banshees, as the band began to record more elaborate, lush, and musically complex songs ("Fireworks" opens with an orchestral string section). A Kiss in the Dreamhouse is widely considered to be the beginning of Siouxsie & the Banshees' "experimental" period and this single helped to set the stage for that album. "Fireworks" peaked at number twenty-two in the UK singles chart. It did not appear on any Banshees albums until the 1992 compilation Twice Upon a Time: The Singles.
"Fireworks" is an upbeat song with catchy lyrics. Musically, it uses a common Roxette trait of changing keys between verses and choruses.
It is the third single from the Crash! Boom! Bang! album.
