“Fireproof” is an easy-going pop song, eschewing the high-energy attack of “Best Song Ever” or the Mumford-lite vibe of “Story of My Life” in favor of a gentle (and extremely catchy) melody. The song is written by 1D members Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, as well as frequent collaborators John Ryan, Jamie Scott and Julian Bunetta.
