Tokyo Police Club frontman Dave Monks will release his new album I’ve Always Wanted To Be Me next week via Ghost Pepper Records. We previously shared single “Change Your Mind” and today hit back with the super smooth follow-up “Can’t Put My Fire Out.”

There is a bit of that Tokyo Police Club charm on the track, just with more of a 90s clean cut power pop sound that feels joyful and full of a genuine uplifting spirit that suites Monks vocals to perfection.

Discussing the track, Monks noted:

Can’t Put My Fire Out’ is a mission statement for me. A reminder that the most powerful part of what I do is free from time and money and can never be taken away from me. No matter where I am or what I am doing, the world is there to ignite my imagination. Whether it’s in celebration, defiance, desperation or for the thrill of it, choosing to make something of it all gives me the power to keep going and believe in what I’m doing.
