New Song: "Girl on Fire" by Ella Mae Bowen

This Hunger Games inspired song was considered for the soundtrack, but will not be on the soundtrack when it comes out this Tuesday. Ella has released the song for your enjoyment:

"Whether or not you know the name Ella Mae Bowen now, if you’ve seen last year’s Footloose remake, you definitely remember her slow cover of “Holding Out for a Hero.” The 16-year-old country artist, working on her debut album for Big Machine (home to Taylor Swift and The Band Perry), was invited, like many artists, to submit songs for consideration for the Hunger Games soundtrack.
The song, for which Bowen also filmed an iPhone home video while in the studio, hooks you with its ethereal opening. Bowen tells EW she and Bolt described these sounds as “underwater percussion,” and they thought this contrast of fire and water was intriguing.
Bowen says it was easy for her to relate to the book. ”I just remember being really inspired by the themes of fighting for love and family, the unrequited love, the strength of the girl character. She’s such a great character. It’s in a different time period, but it’s setting is like Appalachia, which is where I grew up,” says the Walhalla, S.C., native, who has now moved to Nashville. “I put myself there the best that I could. When I saw the quote ‘Girl on Fire,’ Seth and I just jumped at it, like, not only is that a great title, but it symbolizes how hard she was fighting for something.”
